"Older homes beware!!! They used a high-pressure power washer at close range on my historic, wooden windows. This not only severely damaged all of my windows (damaged wood, cracked panes) but also had lots of water intrusion inside my home. The extent of the damage continues to escalate months later, with interior paint chipping and mold growing in window crevices and interior walls. When I notified them of the damage they downplayed it and blamed me for "agreeing" to power washing. I agreed to a light washing and told them to be careful. They even power washed my attic ventilation windows, causing tons of water intrusion in the attic as well! They caused lots of damage and stress and still pressured me to pay full price. I had to aggressively haggle them down for a discount but less than 5 months later paint is already chipping and the damage from the water intrusion is more evident. I should have opened an insurance claim and not paid them anything! They are not pros!"

We are a family-owned business in our 35th year of operation, serving Indianapolis and all of central Indiana. Our staff of full-time, experienced employees is fully covered by Workman’s Compensation and General Liability Insurance. In addition to interior and exterior painting, we do dry wall and plaster repairs, and some minor finish carpentry, such as installing crown molding, chair railing and baseboards. We also do exterior siding, trim and window sill repairs and/or replacement. 12 employees. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges. EPA lead safe certified.

"We have used Fine Painting for several years at our home and during a total rehab of my mom's home in 2017 after she had passed away. We just completed another project in our home - master bedroom ceiling paint, master bath wallpaper removal and painting, hall bath ceiling and wall painting, including minor wall repairs. Everyone was great, as always. They were very accommodating with us in rescheduling due to the tornado damage to our home in April and then we had to leave on short notice due to our daughter's emergency C-section. When finally able to reschedule, Gary and crew showed up on time and went right to work. They did all that was asked to do based on the quote. They did a great job in cleaning up. We highly recommend them and will continue to use them for additional projects in the future."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Columbus, IN

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.
