"Our experience with Cruz Home painting couldn’t have been better. Jesus Cruz was prompt, and pleasant to work with every step of the way. He provided a detailed job description at the outset, and went out of his way to provide stain samples and advice before starting the work. He is a perfectionist, and paid attention to the smallest details along the way. We will definitely hire him again for our next 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."

"Over the course of the last year Grady Jones Paint has worked for me on (3) different occasions to repaint our home interior. The scope of work included scraping the popcorn ceilings, flattening them and then repainting them; repainting all of the walls; painting our cabinetry; and, finally, staining the exposed woodwork on our deck. Clee was very responsive and visited the project every time his workers were on site. Tim and Eddie made up the crew who did the work. They were amicable, professional, courteous and did a GREAT job. I plan to use Grady Jones Paint for any future work and recommend them to anyone in need of a paint contractor."

"I wouldn't use them again because - I mean, in the end they did a fine job but that's because at the end when they said they were done, I walked around with them and I pointed out things that weren't ... like there were some areas that they didn't caulk and then there was a place where I could tell there was only one coat and there should've been two.  So I felt kind of like ... I mean I really had to look everything over and I'd rather just have somebody who just does a straight up good job, you know?  I was thinking I'm not sure that I'm even like finding everything that somebody who really knows about painting and caulking would catch.  Not that it's really complicated, but still, because some of it was outside.  I was thinking, did you caulk above the windows or ... but where I saw that the caulk was left undone was easy for me to see and it was interior and everything. But I can't give a bad review because I can't say oh, something wasn't done because I don't know for sure.  I would've felt better if I had walked around and didn't have anything to say. "

"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.
