"Our three-story Victorian needed exterior painting and repair work (siding, trim, porch), and as with many Victorians, had a lot of detail work. The team from North Shore did a fantastic job - they were thorough, fast for such a large project, and respectful of our property. The team's attention to detail was extraordinary - before the last day of work, we did a walk around to make note of the handful of items that we saw that we wanted to make sure got done. Without us even needing to mention those to the team, they addressed every single one as part of their final touch up process. This level of attention to detail is not something we have had from all contractors we have worked with. We would absolutely use North Shore again for future projects. Pricing was fair, but not cheap - that said, you get what you pay for and the quality speaks for itself."

"Fernando and his team did an awesome job from start to finish. He was communicative throughout the project and really went above and beyond! I was so impressed I already referred him to my brother to have his house painted. Professional work by a really dedicated team. Thanks!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"We couldn’t be happier with the interior painting that Steve and his crew did in our home—it’s truly outstanding. The job was completed quickly, efficiently, and with exceptional attention to detail. Steve’s communication throughout the project went above and beyond. He kept us updated every step of the way, shared progress photos, and made sure he fully understood our vision for each room. Our house is older and full of charm, which also means it comes with unique challenges—like intricate trim and fine details. The crew handled it all with absolute precision. Their craftsmanship really brought out the character of our home. If we ever need more painting done, there’s no question—we’ll be calling Bay State Painting and Power Washing again. Highly recommended!"

"Work was performed exactly as discussed and agreed to (match existing paint colors) at estimated cost. Start was delayed at our request due to high heat and humidity, with no complaints. Work was further delayed through no fault of Arch Painting due to continuous wet weather. Once a good weather window finally occurred, the work was performed quickly with no impact on us. We were totally satisfied with the quality of the work and the finished product."

"Marcio of Master Plastering did an excellent job creating a Family Restroom out of an unused space in our 250 year old church. When an issue came up with our old building, he was very good at problem solving. He has access to an electrician, which aided our project greatly. They performed the highest quality work in every aspect of the project. Communication was above excellent. Our project turned out beyond our expectations. They also did painting and plastering in our sanctuary, which was also top notch. We are all very grateful for Marcio."

"These guys were great! They painted my deck and two bathrooms for a fair and reasonable price. They were highly professional, punctual, efficient and kind. They answered all my questions with honesty, patience and kindness. After they finished painting, they cleaned up after themselves so well. You couldnâ t even tell that someone had just finished painting. They were so neat and clean. I will definitely hire them again. These guys were simply the best. Excellent!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Essex, MA

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.
