"I purchased a Pella patio door & installation through a retailer that turned into a total disaster and was eventually abandoned by the installer. I called Cransten to properly install, frame out, insulate & trim the door unit. Alan did everything | asked for and more. Alan is a true craftsman who took on a very challenging project and turned it into perfection! I would highly recommend Cransten and will definitely use again."

"They did an excellent job! They ended up painting our whole house including some ceilings. There was paint designs they had to cover up and you can’t even tell anything was ever there. They had to fix holes in the wall,etc. they did so well that we asked them to remodel a room for us. They combined two rooms into one and it looks awesome! I keep sending them requests for other things I’d like done!"

"I cannot say enough good things about Go Assemblers and particularly Bryan! Their professionalism, skill, and attention to detail were second to none. They didn’t just meet expectations—they exceeded them in every way. they did the following services in one project: Cabinet and full house painting, drywall, light fixtures, door replacements. They are true masters of all trades. From flawless drywall repairs to perfectly installed lighting fixtures, and of course, an immaculate paint job, they handled every detail with skill, care, and pride. Their workmanship was exceptional: clean lines, smooth walls, and lighting that completely transformed the space. They took care of everything seamlessly, saving me time, stress, and money. What truly set them apart, though, was their customer service. They were punctual, respectful, and communicative every step of the way. They went above and beyond to make sure I was 100% happy."

"Jim the Painter did an amazing job on my daughter’s room. He really took his time and made sure every detail was perfect. The room looks incredible. Not only is he clearly very knowledgeable about paint, he also fixed holes in the walls and made everything look seamless. He was professional, communicative, pleasant to work with, and took the time to educate us on the process and what would work best. You can tell he takes pride in his work. The quality and care he put into the job truly stood out. We will absolutely be hiring him again when we’re ready to paint our loft. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Cornelius, NC

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.
