"Brannick Painting just finished a complete exterior repaint of our house in El Cerrito, including staining our deck. Patrick and his team were wonderful to work with. Patrick helped us with color selection, painting large sheets of posterboard with several colors we considered, so we could hold them up to the house in different lighting to see how they would look when finished. we have heard from others that they had small swatches painted on their house and Patrick’s approach is so much more helpful. Patrick is also extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of preparation and painting. We have an old stucco house that needed a lot of detailed preparation. His crew is very experienced, and they did an excellent job repairing and preparing all of the cracks and blemishes on our house. We are very happy with the final product. We highly recommend using Brannick Painting."

"Atiba and Ati at Finish Coat paint are by far the best contractors we have ever worked with. We have had some nightmare experiences with contractors, so we were hesitant to even do another job but we really needed our interior painted. They responded quickly when first contacted. They are professional. The communication is beyond excellent. We hired them to paint 3 bedrooms and retexture and finish a ceiling. They're work was so great, we expanded the job to include our downstairs. Our house looks beautiful, we couldn't be happier with their work. They did an amazing job and we will definitely be using them again for any future painting projects."

"Cornelio did a great job painting my tiny home. He painted my bathroom and walk-in closet, stained the loft stairs and kitchen shelves, installed crown molding, and painted the window trim and front door. I plan to hire him again to paint my sliding barn door. He was very professional, bilingual (Spanish/English), and easy to communicate with. I really appreciated his patience and guidance when choosing low-toxicity paints, since I have a sensitive sense of smell and limited space. His recommendations were thoughtful and health-conscious, and the results were exactly what I hoped for. Highly recommend!"

"Flex Painting went above and beyond on our rental home’s exterior painting project. They initially provided a fair and reasonable estimate, but as the project progressed, they identified dry rot, a broken window and sash, rotting stairs, and other structural issues. Instead of just painting over the problems, they handled the necessary repairs, replaced gutters, and even added gutter screens and downspouts—all while maintaining fluid communication with regular updates and photos. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality work were outstanding. We truly appreciate their honesty, expertise, and willingness to go the extra mile. Highly recommend Flex Painting for anyone looking for a reliable and skilled team!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Clayton, 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.
