"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."

"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."

"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."

"Damian does great work! He came to my home and color matched, then painted my shutters and chimney to the exact color I needed them to be. While he was working Damian was very professional, quiet, and approachable. Before finishing the chimney, he made sure to let me know about some rotting wood on the chimney, quickly quoted the addition and proceeded to improve the look of my chimney. I highly recommend hiring Damian if youâ re looking for someone you can trust while out and about during the day or just chilling at home."

"Carlos and his team gave an estimate which they stuck to; the scope of work was extensive requiring structural cabinet work, finish carpentry, spackling- painting, caulking throughout the house recaulking all finish moldings and joints; amazingly responsive; all work was completed meticulously and professionally; hard workers. At project completion we walked the house for a final inspection. Everything about the team and their work was professional. Wherever they were working around the house was always protected from debris and dust. When the job was completed we walked the site for a final inspection. I would seriously consider without reservation connecting with Brothers Carpentry and Paint for any repairs or additions to their home."

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.
