Have been helping friends, coworkers, family and community with jobs, repairs and remodeling/repairs for years and am looking at expanding into more of a business model than "the guy who does stuff"\nI also currently have a full time job and am available for work on Sundays and Mondays.

"I worked with Steve on a painting project at my home and a staining project. Steve was very knowledgeable about the process and made process and product recommendations. Steve and his crew were excellent to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have interior or exterior work completed!"

"Great company and best people to be around. This was a big project restoring the exterior of an 1838 house. The prep work was fantastic followed by a very profressional brush painted finish. I could not have asked for more. During the project we had cars stopping on the road to look and watch the project. That is when you know your doing some transformational. Great Job!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Cortland, NY

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.
