"Palette Pro did work for me on two separate occasions. The first time was to prepare a new apartment prior to my moving in. The work involved painting, floor re-finishing, and some carpentry. All work was performed to a very high standard. The crew was meticulous, and followed the work plan perfectly. Willian, the supervisor, kept me informed on progress over the course of several weeks. On the second occasion, I used Palette Pro to re-paint a bedroom following a serious leak in my apartment. Again, the work was done perfectly. They were very accommodating to my schedule. Before Palette Pro, I had never experienced contractors whom I could trust to work to such a high standard. I highly recommend them!"

"Tom did an amazing job prepping and repainting my white shaker style kitchen cabinets. They look as good or better than new! He was punctual, reliable, neat and professional and a total sweetheart too. He did such a nice job I had him repaint my bathroom vanity also. Everything looks great. I paid a little extra as a tip and would definitely use his services again and highly recommend to anyone. "

"Roberto is a meticulous and creative craftsman, accompanied by a skilled team. You get the strong sense that he approaches an assignment as if he were executing it at his own home. He also has great communication skills, gets back to you in a timely manner and here's a bonus; the team leaves the worksite in spotless condition. In addition to making my front door look new, Roberto and team resurfaced my deck and shed with stellar results. Highest of recommendations."

"Nixon and his worker worked straight for 5 hours moving 4 rooms of very difficult and heavy furniture. They then went on to repair a desk and hang a very heavy old mirror. They were wonderful. They are planning on returning in the spring to do some outside garden and yard work. I now know who to call when I need anything and everything done in my house."

"Larry Taylor is an excellent painter. He did a beautiful job painting my kitchen, including walls, ceiling, moldings (ceiling and floor) and 4 doors. He was always on time, professional, friendly and polite. He is meticulous, very precise - he did not cut corners. He is also very neat - there was nothing to clean when he was done each day. His price was competitive and fair. I recommend Larry without hesitation and will ask him back for future projects."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Darien, CT

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.
