"Rob painted the hallway of our 4 storey condo, and also revarnished the much weathered front door. The entire project went so smoothly! Rob worked quickly, and neatly. The hallway looks fantastic. The entire job went so well, I asked him to paint our living room next!"

"Now I know why their company name is what it is. The paint job and customer service was absolutely superb. Rafael was fantastic. Very knowledgeable with great communication and couldn't be more friendly. He kept me informed during the whole process. Robert's quality of work was outstanding. Very meticulous and cleaned everything up when completed. If I could give 10 stars for referral I would. Great work and their pricing was by far the best after receiving multiple quotes. I will be doing more projects with them and I highly recommend anyone looking for paint service to contact them to see for themselves. Thanks again Rafael and Robert!!"

"Elmer was very responsive. He gave me a quote in a timely manner and was even able to start the job a day early. He finished on time and worked CLEAN. I was replacing carpeting after his painting but the old carpet was spotless, not a paint drop on it. The flooring people damaged the freshly painted baseboards and Elmer gave me the courtesy of returning to repaint that area. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Emerson, NJ

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.
