"Very satisfied with Jose’s painting and I’d hire them again for sure. Work was quality, thorough, efficient, etc. Same crew from start to finish - they did good work and were courteous, kept me informed, and kept to the schedule. I interviewed 3 others before starting, and they seemed to be the most capable. I’m glad I chose them. Jose was easy to work with and he and his crew inspired confidence throughout the whole process."

The owner contacted me immediately upon making a request for an estimate, gave me a reasonable quote and a quick date, within days, to begin the work. The job took only 2 days and looks exactly like I was wanting. I would highly recommend them for any of your concrete needs!"

"We had a great experience with Dream Painting for our exterior house painting. From start to finish, the team was professional, reliable, and easy to work with. Communication was clear throughout the process, and they took the time to make sure everything was done right. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and paid close attention to detail. Our house looks fantastic, and the quality of the work really shows. The project was completed on schedule, and the results exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely recommend Dream Painting to anyone looking for high-quality exterior painting and a smooth, stress-free experience."

"I initially hired Perez Painting to paint my foyer. Jorge and Oscar took the job seriously and did a great job even though it was a small job. At the conclusion, I asked for a quote to paint the exterior of my house and detached garage. The price was so reasonable I hired them on the spot. They started right away and worked steadily till they finished. They did a great job. I will definitely use them for any other painting I need done."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Costa Mesa, CA

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.
