I started painting in Boston whenn I was 19 years old. At the time latex paints were a new thing, and the homes we painted were Victorian homes from the turn of the 20th Century. They required sanding to bare wood, Full prime and two top coats. I worked in England, France and was Malibu Painting for ten years. Painted the Old Malibu Inn Restaurant and homes in the Malibu Colony where Original Chagalls and Picassos hang on the walls. I painted San Diego's own Mark Hamill's (Luke Skywalker) home in Malibu, amongst other stars and musicians. Moved to San Diego in 1994 and no longer hire help but personally do the work myself! You can see my work in the Town of Julian, the Historic Julian Goldrush Hotel exterior, The Stonewall building exterior, The Town Hall inside and out.

"I am thrilled to have found Marcelo with American Painting Company. I was in desperate need of a painter to paint my rental condo in order to get it ready for my new tenants. Marcelo responded to my request immediately and was able to start the very next week. I worked side by side with Marcelo while he painted and I worked on the repairs. He is very pleasant, attentive to detail and did a fabulous job. I highly recommend American Painting and will definitely be using Marcelo for my other properties."

"They were quick and efficient, very professional and great at communication. The project was enormous, the entire interior of our home ceiling to baseboards, and they got it done in a week. There were some shortcuts taken, painting over some outlet covers and not sanding the doors first, but they came back and corrected most of the issues in a timely manner. "

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Chula Vista, CA

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.
