"The painter was so good he used free hand to paint between the ceiling and wall. No need for taping. It was a three day project and he cleaned up his work space each day even though no one was living in the house at that time. Without hesitation I would use this company again."

"David and Christian were very professional and helped us get our ceiling painted without issue! They said it would be a two day project and ended up being just complete in one! Thankful for their services and Annapolis Painting for the great service."

"Spiro's Painting did a lovely job, and the porch now looks pristine and clean. Moreover, we no longer have to worry about the exposed wood on the posts and soffits as a result of peeling paint. There were a few hiccups with scheduling, but the team was efficient, tidy, and true to their word about the length of the job. I would definitely add our voice to so many others in recommending Spiro's Painting, and we'll certainly reach out to them in the future if we have other painting projects."

"First off! I was so worried about finding a good painting company that would also not rip me off. from the first call to the end of my project the gentleman was so wonderful and so friendly. They were there when they said that they would be. It is so hard to find good honest people and he really is great! I knew I could trust him and his team with my home. I love my home but it needed to be painted inside and I knew I wanted someone to do it right but also care about the house and the owner. I felt so comfortable around this team. they not only painted great they cleaned up the mess! I cant praise this company enough !!!! I absolutely LOVE them. If I need anymore services I will be sure to hire them again and I will also share this company with friends and family. Thank you J & H painting for bringing my home back to life again! I love you guys!!! this was the first time that I had my entire house painted professionally and I am so pleased with the work. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! :)"

"Mike came out to do the estimate was very courteous and straightforward. Andrew (GM) and Crystal sent Dustin to my house day 1 to review the job and assess the rotted wood situation for all windows. Dustin, a truly gifted carpenter with your best interest in mind, spent an hour reviewing his plan of action and gathering information about where to get materials and which materials to get. He reviewed everything with me, and by noon of day 1 there was new material on site and Dustin was working hard with a smile on his face the entire time. Day 2 the general manager Andrew worked to move things along by having the painters arrive on the heels of Dustin finishing up his work. Several windows had brick moulding and sills replaced right as painters were ready to get to them. All 37 window trims were undoubtedly professionally painted to the new color. I asked for a add-on during day 2 (some trim work on the roofline) that they handled quite well despite the height. This is a well trained, passionate group of painters and a carpenter who can work magic who knocked it out of the park. A small discrepancy in the final bill was worked out within 8 hours of completion as well with no trouble. I would highly recommend."

"Sheldon and Sons did an amazing job on my kitchen. I chose to not only paint the kitchen walls but paint the original kitchen cabinets instead of getting brand new cabinets. I’m glad I did because the way the cabinets were painted made my kitchen look brand new with only half the cost. The crew was incredibly friendly and professional. I felt very comfortable with them working in my home. Everything was done in a timely manner with both quality and efficiency. I am very happy with the work and will definitely be using them again."

"I had a great experience with Miguel Team LLC. for my deck staining project. The team was professional, punctual, and very detail-oriented. They took the time to properly prepare the deck and ensured the stain was applied evenly, which made a huge difference in the final result. My deck now looks refreshed and beautifully finished. They also kept the work area clean and communicated clearly throughout the process. I truly appreciate the quality of their work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality deck staining services."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Ellicott City, MD

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.
