"Cruz Home Painting crew was professional, courteous, friendly and proficient at their craft. Painting was outstanding, cleaned up every nights, stayed until complete. Punctual, asked us to inspect the finished job before asking for payment. Would definitely rehire or recommend to anyone. Could not have wished for a better trades person to take on this project."

"We had previously hired Paz Painting to remove popcorn from the ceilings in 2 rooms and hired his crew again to do the same in our dining and living rooms, an entryway and the upstairs stairwell ceiling. They also painted several rooms. They did a great job in both regards and did a nice job of cleaning up when done. Narciso is easy to work with and I would definitely hire his company again."

"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."

"Henry and Miguel did a great job. Henry was the lead on the project, and he was professional, always on time, quick to answer questions by email and phone, and he and Miguel were efficient and did high-quality work (drywall and painting). Henry is obviously passionate about his work and providing high quality service to his customers. I will definitely hire Henry and his team in the future."

"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!!!!!!!!"

"This is our second time using Mr. Ramirez’s company for deck staining and we had great experiences both times. We had our house and deck pressure washed, and deck sanded and stained. Excellent work, great communication throughout the project, and finished in just a few days. Highly recommend."

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.
