"I was so impressed with Top of the Line Painting. Weather held up the work for over a week but Matt stayed in touch almost every day. His team came at the designated time and finished staining not only a two-tier deck but also painted the front porch in less than a day. They also pressure-washed the house and it looks beautiful. The work they performed was absolutely professional and I am extremely happy with the job they did. I highly recommend this company!"

"Donin and Dorian did a wonderful painting job! Everything--floors, carpets, furniture, etc.--was covered completely during the process, and the finished product was lovely. One would never know that there had ever been damage to the ceilings from Hurricane Florence. DLA Painting is the best. I would highly recommend them to anyone."

"Ben helped me with my front door. Every year it needs to be repainted since it faces the sun. He was ale to strip the paint, put new enamel primer and paint on it. He has also did some work in my home with pressure washing on my patio. He did the best job I have ever seen done. He took time to cover my patio ceiling fan. He is very deliberate in what he does doesnt waste any time. I am very pleased and looking forward getting more work done with him in the future."

"They didn't have the specialties required for this project. They said they could take down the door and place it on the lawn to work on. Then they would sand the door by hand and then paint with an rust preventative and then with the White paint. None of the suggestions would work. We required SodaBlasting to remove the old paint. Then Powder coat with White coating."

"During the course of the estimate & the work, all went fine. It wasn't until the weeks & months afterward that I noticed mistakes made by the crew that did the work; e.g., paint mistakenly applied in places (frames), paint spilled in some places (carpeting by closet), and -- most disappointing to me -- the seams in ceilings that were to have been mudded, smoothed and painted have, over time, become more and more visible. I don't know if the quality of the mud was such that it shrank over time, or what, but the ceiling areas that were to have been smoothed now have very visible seams. Part of the fault was mine in not doing a more careful check during the walk-through with the painting crew when they finished, so that I didn't notice many of these issues until later on. Credit goes to the owner, who offered to come to see the job afterwards, and I said he needn't bother; that said, the ceiling seams didn't show this bad until some months later."

"Communication was excellent. Painting skill was good. When I have them back to do more I will supply shoe covers. We did have some red clay tracked in on the carpet. We did manage to get the stain out. I would hire them again."

"They were very easy to work with. We had a couple small issues (Missed Spots, we painted white over white), that were corrected right away. Their cleanup was very good, and they made sure they protected the shrubs etc. There were about 3 employees who did the work. We had to reschedule a few times due to the hurricane in the area, which was understandable. This was my first time using them, and I would recommend them to anyone. My neighbor may be using them too, and they were impressed with what they saw. They were not the cheapest, or most expensive quote that we got (3 different quotes)."

"They was friendly, energetic and respectable. The was well rounded, they did the project they was hired for plus a few other small things around the house. Their pricing was also very reasonable. I plan to use them again in the near future for other work."

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

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.
