"We were very pleased with the paint project for our home! The owner Julio promised we would be satisfied with the work and he didn't disappoint!! The painters were very professional and clean making sure everything was thoroughly taped/ covered to keep any paint from dripping onto our new floors. The paint job was absolutely beautiful!! We will definitely recommend "Beyond Quality Painting" to all of our family and friends!!"

"Brannick Painting just finished a complete exterior repaint of our house in El Cerrito, including staining our deck. Patrick and his team were wonderful to work with. Patrick helped us with color selection, painting large sheets of posterboard with several colors we considered, so we could hold them up to the house in different lighting to see how they would look when finished. we have heard from others that they had small swatches painted on their house and Patrick’s approach is so much more helpful. Patrick is also extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of preparation and painting. We have an old stucco house that needed a lot of detailed preparation. His crew is very experienced, and they did an excellent job repairing and preparing all of the cracks and blemishes on our house. We are very happy with the final product. We highly recommend using Brannick Painting."

"I was asking for quotes on interior painting for my 2300 sq ft. home I received a phone call from GLZ PAINTERS (Adam) the owner, Adam gave me such a great price that I asked him about painting the outside of my home as it was pink yes I said pink Adam needed to come by for that estimate and trust me he was able to do both interior/exterior that fit my budget and promised to have it completed in 4/ 5 days without me having to move furniture or moving heavy items only needed to move my delicate items . Adam and his team arrived as scheduled day and times and worked in exstreamly hot temperatures outdoors (103°) it took 2 days to complete outdoor doors and 3 days to complete interior the job was done so professionally that no over spray indoors or outdoors. I highly recommend GLZ PAINTERS. I have received so many compliments on my new house color I'm truly happy and grateful. If you are looking for professional workmanship please reach out to GLZ PAINTERS I'm sure you'll be just as happy as I am. I wish I could attach photos"

"I was VERY pleased with the CertaPro Painters (Berkeley) team - from Kevin (the sales guy who came out to scope the work and provide a quote), to Deon (Production Manager), Hieme (foreman), and the guys who did the prep, painting, and carpentry work that was required. They were easy to work with and professional, and the quality of work was really good. I particularly appreciated how flexible and open they were to my requests as the project progressed - no attitude or unnecessary complexity. I would work with them again and recommend them."

"Flex Painting went above and beyond on our rental home’s exterior painting project. They initially provided a fair and reasonable estimate, but as the project progressed, they identified dry rot, a broken window and sash, rotting stairs, and other structural issues. Instead of just painting over the problems, they handled the necessary repairs, replaced gutters, and even added gutter screens and downspouts—all while maintaining fluid communication with regular updates and photos. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality work were outstanding. We truly appreciate their honesty, expertise, and willingness to go the extra mile. Highly recommend Flex Painting for anyone looking for a reliable and skilled team!"
Before pictures
(Before Pic)Home was pressure washed with a 3000 psi machine to remove as much dirt and grime from the exterior house wall surfaces before painting. We sanded all the bad areas and spot primed them before painting. Used caulking to seal any open grooves and open wood joints as needed.
(Before l) This photo shows the condition of the cabinet before it was refinished. You can see the stain is faded and clear coat is chipping away from water damage and moisture in the air.
Exterior Repaint
Prepped the door for painting. Sanded it then primed it. Removed the door handle and carefully covered the hinges before spray painting the door.

"We'd strongly recommend Walt for any painting project. Our front door was peeling and the underlying wood was deteriorating. Walt arrived promptly when scheduled, gave us several repair options, including the option to buy a replacement door rather than use his services to repair the existing one. In the end we chose a refinishing option that was less expensive than the original quote. The result is beautiful. Walt's experience, professionalism, attention to detail and obvious concern that we get a good result made this project a pleasure. We will use Walt for future painting and refinishing projects."

"I saw their deal on this site and called Bill to get more information. He quickly assessed my project and scheduled my paint job for less than a week later. Bill and his team arrived today and did a great job. They prepped very neatly and carefully and did a great job cleaning up after a job well done. The job took less time than expected so Bill even sanded and primed a piece of furniture I wanted to paint. Very happy with the whole experience."

"I would give Javier a 10 star rating out of 5 possible. First we hired him to paint the exterior of the house we were selling, this involved some repair of facia etc . Then we hired him to do the interior of the house we bought. Again excellent work. What sets him apart is his professionalism, always on time, work ethic, goes above and beyond, and his pleasant personality . Oh, and he does excellent work."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Diablo, 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.
