"We hired Cruz Home Painting to prep and repaint the entrance porch to our home, which includes fluted wood columns, stucco columns, wood panelling and bead board, all of it more than 100 years old. In other words, there were lots of surfaces, and there was lots of old paint, some of which was not stable. Jesus Cruz and his crew arrived when they said they would, worked full, consecutive days, and finished ahead of when we needed the project completed. I was particularly pleased with their great prep work. They also repaired stucco. They covered up everything for within 15 feet of the work area during the day, and they took it up and vacuumed at the end of every day. A great paint job, and every step of the way was neat and clean. I would hire them again with confidence."

"Narciso and his team repainted our guest bedroom, guest bathroom and did touch-ups around our house to perfection. It started out with very dark paint, and the switch to light colors required 4 coats! And they did a beautiful job. Within 24 hours of calling, Narciso came to our house. The next day, he emailed us a quote. We signed the contract and his team started painting the next morning. The cost was very reasonable, particularly in comparison to another highly rated company’s quote. We will be using them again for future jobs."

"Over the course of the last year Grady Jones Paint has worked for me on (3) different occasions to repaint our home interior. The scope of work included scraping the popcorn ceilings, flattening them and then repainting them; repainting all of the walls; painting our cabinetry; and, finally, staining the exposed woodwork on our deck. Clee was very responsive and visited the project every time his workers were on site. Tim and Eddie made up the crew who did the work. They were amicable, professional, courteous and did a GREAT job. I plan to use Grady Jones Paint for any future work and recommend them to anyone in need of a paint contractor."

"Carlos and his team gave an estimate which they stuck to; the scope of work was extensive requiring structural cabinet work, finish carpentry, spackling- painting, caulking throughout the house recaulking all finish moldings and joints; amazingly responsive; all work was completed meticulously and professionally; hard workers. At project completion we walked the house for a final inspection. Everything about the team and their work was professional. Wherever they were working around the house was always protected from debris and dust. When the job was completed we walked the site for a final inspection. I would seriously consider without reservation connecting with Brothers Carpentry and Paint for any repairs or additions to their home."

"We had 30ft ceilings to be painted with some sanding needed. Not a job for any old painter. This took professionals and thatâ s exactly what Santiago is! I will use them again without hesitation for more painting projects. They covered all our wood floors, furniture, mirrors and moved furniture where they needed it to be. Moved furniture back when job was done.Very dependable and great communication. Our job took a week to complete. For our job, I thought the pricing was right for the extensive work involved. Iâ m so happy with this job!!!!!!!!"

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

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.
