"Very prompt, personable, and professional. After he finished, I noticed some small blemishes in the sheetrock taping and the painting. He came back and fixed it all to my satisfaction, no questions asked. Honesty and integrity are in short supply these days, so I was impressed."

"Bart gave us a very reasonable quote, came on time everyday and finished in a timely manner. He was very helpful in choosing paint color and wood and satin for wainscoting (which needed to be built and came out beautifully) the paint and the floors look great and we would recommend him and hope to have him back for future projects."

"Andy came the next day after we called him and gave us a very reasonable estimate for the painting of our kitchen, dining room/living room, as well as making a repair to the ceiling and painting the entire ceiling into the hallway. He and his crew knocked it out in three-and-a-half days. His crew was very neat and always cleaned up. Andy also carted all his garbage at the end of the job. CT Home Improvement are friendly, reliable and trustworthy. I recommend them."

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