"We cannot say enough good things about Nick. He replaced all of our exterior trim and it looks incredible. It was a huge project and Nick did not disappoint! Nick and Marshall are both so kind, hard working, detail oriented and a pleasure to work with. They gave us updates every day and were very transparent about their progress along the way. We cannot wait to have NP Carpentry back for a future project!"

"I hired Al to paint my cabinets. Once that was started we agreed to expand the work to touching up and finishing other areas of the house. I am very happy with the quality of the work and will definitely work with Al again on projects in the future."

"Charlie was prompt, professional, courteous and did an amazing job painting a very narrow two-story stairwell. We could never have finished this project on our own. I was given a quote, date and time the project would be completed and it was. Highly recommend handy guy services - we will definitely be working with him again!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Bill is great to work with. He does everything. We actually asked him to give us an estimate on a paint job to do next spring, but while he was here, he pointed out problems with part of our roof, plus trouble with gutters that were funneling water to siding that was rotted. Itâ s all fixed and we are looking forward to working with him in the spring. It was all more expensive that we expected, but I think we got good value for our money."

"I could not have been happier with the service. Miguel was friendly, very competent, accommodating and respectful. Amy was great for scheduling. Miguel was on time and put up a street mailbox to my wife's glee. We will definitely reuse this service for our future needs. My highest recommendation."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Dover, NH

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.
