"Cruz Home Painting crew was professional, courteous, friendly and proficient at their craft. Painting was outstanding, cleaned up every nights, stayed until complete. Punctual, asked us to inspect the finished job before asking for payment. Would definitely rehire or recommend to anyone. Could not have wished for a better trades person to take on this project."

"Narciso and his team repainted our guest bedroom, guest bathroom and did touch-ups around our house to perfection. It started out with very dark paint, and the switch to light colors required 4 coats! And they did a beautiful job. Within 24 hours of calling, Narciso came to our house. The next day, he emailed us a quote. We signed the contract and his team started painting the next morning. The cost was very reasonable, particularly in comparison to another highly rated company’s quote. We will be using them again for future jobs."

"Working with Grady Jones Painting has been a great experience. Clee took the time to listen to our wants and explain the process necessary to achieve them. It is a fairly big project, but with his attention to detail, our fixer-upper is transitioning into our dream home."

"We hired Five Star Painting this past summer because they had done such a nice job seven years prior. They were extremely profession, from the initial call, through estimate, during the project, and following up afterwards. I would highly recommend them to family or friends."

"I recently hired H&M Contractor team to finish 1,500 sq.ft. basement - installing drywall, plastering/finishing, and painting. I am extremely pleased and satisfied with professionalism, quality, and communication. Crew was very hardworking and polite, they did outstanding work quickly and efficiently. Henry (supervisor) was very professional, prompt, on time, and reasonable on prices. He would stop by every day to inspect the progress, and would immediately take care of any issue. I also really liked his responsiveness - whenever I had a question, or needed his advice, he would immediately respond via text or would stop by and would answer all of my questions. I would not hesitate to recommend H&M Contractor LLC. Thank you, Henry!"

"Carlos and his team were top notch. My wife and I hired Carlos to demo our existing laundry room and install new drywall, which required new framing, install new floor joists, new paint and new cabinets with trim. He showed up when he said he would and finished in a timely manner. He is upfront, honest, and gets the job done right. His team is very professional and kind. I plan to hire him again if we do anymore projects and recommend him to anyone needing work done. Excellent experience with Brothers Carpentry and Paint."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Chapel Hill, NC

You'll need about two gallons of paint to fully cover your kitchen cabinets with two coats. Since each gallon covers around 350 square feet, it's a good idea to measure your cabinets or use a paint calculator to determine exactly how much you'll need. Starting with one or two coats of primer and then applying two to three layers of paint will give you a flawless, durable finish. Using high-quality paint can reduce the number of coats needed and provide a long-lasting finish.

The best type of paint for your kitchen cabinets is latex paint because it applies evenly and creates a durable finish. If you're painting wood surfaces and need extra adhesion, acrylic paint is a great alternative. We don't recommend oil-based paint for residential use due to its VOC emissions. For finishes, go with eggshell, semi-gloss, gloss, or satin, as matte finishes aren't as durable or as easy to clean.

The best method for painting kitchen cabinets is spray painting because it gives you a smooth, even finish without brush strokes. While brushes and rollers can work, they often leave marks and require more effort. If you're aiming for a professional look, spray painting is your best bet to enhance the beauty and durability of your cabinets.
