"Lucas did an awesome job, staining/painting our stairs, the walls in our stairways and two doors. His price was reasonable, and he was very meticulous, cleaned up after himself every day. He was there when he said he was going to be. We would hire him again in a heartbeat."

"Isaac completed several projects for me in the last 6 months. Including painting and installing vinyl luxury flooring in 2 rooms, installing a storm door, weeding & mulching, fence post repair for privacy fence; removal of split rail fence and install of no maintenance picket fence, installing of outside Christmas lights, and install of insulation and pegboard walls in garage. He was very good about communicating on the jobs. He showed up when he said he would and would text if there was a delay. After the various jobs were completed, he followed up to make sure I was satisfied. I have referred him to friends who were also pleased- he installed a privacy fence for them."

"CDH is a Fantastic company! I was greeted with respect and courtesy in my conversation. Clint, the owner of CDH, called me personally. I shared with him the details of my project. He has a lot of experience in the resurfacing business, and he pointed out a couple of things that I hadn't thought about. I wanted to resurface my tub due to a chip in the porcelain and the increasing difficulty I was having with the cleaning the tub. Clint let me know this was common with cast iron tubs as old as mine (28 years old in fact), and that this would get worse over time. He recommended an inexpensive option to fix the chip, and let me know how his process worked. My wife didn't want something that stunk up the condo. Clint assured me that they vent to an outside window and use a scent that smells great. The drying time is just 4 hours and uses environmentally safe materials that really don't add much to the cost, but protect the homeowner and Clint's crew. There was NO pressure to book a job, just a genuine desire to help and make sure all my questions were answered. Clint was also happy to share his pricing with me and explained that he offers the best price he can while maintaining a profit margin that allows him to stay in business and treat his customers and employees well. I did the temporary patch for $5 Clint recommended, and I'm going to have him come back in the spring or summer to re-glaze the tub. I'm a business owner, and I respect his desire for excellence in product and service. I also greatly appreciated his openness and honesty. I will be hiring him for this Spring or Summer. If you have need of a re-glazing project I can't think of a better choice than Clint and CDH. I'll update my review after I have my project finished."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Dayton, IN

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.
