"Sergio & his crew of ARTWRK Painting LLC did an outstanding job painting the entire 1st floor of our rancher followed by staining our entire beadboard wall & trim, finished basement. I highly recommend them for interior work!"

"Did a great job. The painters were very professional and kept the property clean during painting. Re-stained my front door and painted shutters and other outdoor areas. Really freshened up my property at a pretty good price. Would recommend!"

"I would give Ochoas Constructions LLC 100 stars if I could! Jhonny contacted me very quickly after my inquiry, came to my house to provide a free estimate the next day, gave a fair quote, and started the project the following week. He's a great communicator and super friendly! You know how sometimes you just get a good vibe about someone right away? That's Jhonny. I hired him to paint a room but he does literally everything and I look forward to contacting him for future projects of all sorts!"

"I called them to give me an estimate they set up a time to come out and were here right on time. I showed them what I needed done and they explained the process of how they were going to power washer the exterior siding first and then let it dry out for a day and come put finish on day after it dried. The day of paint they showed up on time to paint and they completed the project on time just like they promised and it turned out beautiful could not have asked for a better job if u are looking for a painter who shows up on time and does beautiful work and a great price look no further give these guys a call."

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

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.
