"Gustavo was recommended to me by a friend who had an excellent job done for her with kitchen cabinet painting and a bathroom painting. Gustave painted 6 new interior doors for me and the molding around the doors. I was so impressed that I hired him to paint my house exterior. He did a wonderful job with power washing, priming, patching and paint. He does spectacular work for a good, fair price. He is also very courteous and prompt."

"Daniel helped guide our project start to finish by first suggesting the brand of paint and then suggesting things he could do to make the finished product even better than we had imagined. He matched touchup paint on molding to leaving the work area clean after every day's work. And he was very trustworthy as we had to leave our house during the day and he secured the house before we returned when he finished for the day. And we liked very much that he is a local in Dana Point!"

Customers say: True professional

"I have known Sergio for many years and more recently have gotten to know his son Bryan. He was originally referred to me by a neighbor when the time came to paint the exterior of my home. Sergio was a consummate professional from beginning to end. He was extremely helpful in working with us on paint schemes and when it came to the job, his prep work was methodic and precise as was the actual painting. The house looked amazing and we received many complements on it. Sergio subsequently painted the interior of our home and likewise did an amazing job. Since then, Sergio and Bryan have worked on painting jobs for my mother as well as on rental properties that I own. The quality of their work is always superb and just as importantly, their rates are very competitive. I wouldn't consider using anyone else on my painting projects. I highly recommend."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Dana Point, 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.
