"I found Jose to be extremely professional, curteous, and always on time. He provided a detailed estimate within 24 hours of coming to my house to discuss the project and review what I needed done. I thought he provided a fair estimate based on the amount of preparation required to get my house ready to paint. It required scraping of old paint, sanding, priming, and apply 2 coats of paint and ended up taking 3-4 days total. Jose and his team showed up on time each day and worked diligently throughout the day, and would consult me periodically throughout the project to set expectations and to provide a status. The end result looked wonderful. My house went from looking shabby with peeling paint and rotting wood in places, to new and fresh. Looking forward to working with C&Painting again on future projects."

"First, let me say it is very difficult to find someone to do projects these days. Secondly, I was concerned hiring someone just by reading the references on Angi list. But the reviews were good, so we took a chance. We were glad that we hired Mr. Chavez's company. He and his crew arrived promptly as promised each day. They took all precautions covering the floors and furniture, as needed. The painting and drywall were done very well and we are pleased with the outcome. Mr. Chavez discussed how he would proceed with the drywall job. They cleaned up behind themselves each evening before leaving, I had no paint on any areas of the floor or carpet. The job was finished in the time frame given. I plan to have him do more projects for me in the near future. And I am referring him to my sisters."

"This company is awesome! They painted my house inside and out flawlessly! They also installed gorgeous vinyl plank flooring and carpet. I can’t say enough about the quality of the work! Workers were great and very efficient. The only glitz was in communication and that was partially because I’m difficult to reach. Would definitely give them a high recommendation!"

"Working with AdvancePro was great! They quickly came to our house to give us an estimate and were able to work us into their schedule to meet our project timeline. We really appreciated how they repaired the walls before painting (we had some settling cracks) and are very pleased with the job overall."

"The management and staff at Spiros Painting were 100% professional from beginning to end. They responded immediately to my request for an estimate. They had someone come out to look at the project site the next day. I had called another painting company who told me that they could not provide an estimate unless I assured them that I would sign a contract within 30 days. Spiros made no such stipulation. Spiros began the work about a week after I accepted their proposal. This was partly to accommodate own my schedule; they could have started earlier. The rear wall of the house is difficult to access, but Spiros was able to deal with the situation without bringing in any special equipment. They scraped and patched the wall thoroughly. I have had experiences with painters in the past whose scraping amounted to a light rubdown. Spiros was very conscientious about removing ALL of the peeling paint. The company was patient with me when I changed my mind a couple of times before the work started, about the color I wanted. The work was finished in two days, partly because it was interrupted by rain. The company cleaned up thoroughly after the job was done. I'm very pleased with the work and the workmanship."

"J.H. Painting Services did great exterior work on my home this weekend. I had exterior siding and deck power washed, front door painted, and brick foundation painted. All work was done at a high level of quality and in a timely manner. Communication for planning each of the tasks easy and reliable. Contractor arrived on time. I highly recommend for power washing and paint jobs."

"Sheldon and Sons did an amazing job on my kitchen. I chose to not only paint the kitchen walls but paint the original kitchen cabinets instead of getting brand new cabinets. I’m glad I did because the way the cabinets were painted made my kitchen look brand new with only half the cost. The crew was incredibly friendly and professional. I felt very comfortable with them working in my home. Everything was done in a timely manner with both quality and efficiency. I am very happy with the work and will definitely be using them again."

"Edwin was very responsive and was the only painter that I contacted on Angie’s List who replied for my request for estimate in a timely manner. He had a good price and kept in touch with me about scheduling so our job was able to be done sooner when an opening came up in their schedule. His crew was on site every morning at or before 8:30 AM for the job which took 4 days. They did a good job on the painting, pressure washing and window cleaning and were very responsive when we pointed out small issues which they quickly took care of for us. Throughout the process Edwin communicated to us in person, via email, and via text messages to discuss paint colors and specific requests. All in all, they did good work for a good price and are the most responsive contractor I have ever dealt with. Highly recommended!"

"I had a great experience with Miguel Team LLC. for my deck staining project. The team was professional, punctual, and very detail-oriented. They took the time to properly prepare the deck and ensured the stain was applied evenly, which made a huge difference in the final result. My deck now looks refreshed and beautifully finished. They also kept the work area clean and communicated clearly throughout the process. I truly appreciate the quality of their work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality deck staining services."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Columbia, MD

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.
