"My wife and I had high expectations for this project and we are very pleased with the results. We interviewed three contractors and found Matt to be very knowledgeable about our painting project. His Angie’s List reviews were stellar giving us the confidence to retain his services. He arrived in a timely manner each day. Matt and his partner worked quietly, neatly and clearly took pride in their work. The paint lines contrasting the different paint tones of the trims, door and window surrounds are crisp and ruler straight. He finished our project in two days which was his estimate. I found him personable and easy to work with. His price was very competitive. If your looking for a painter, Matt is your guy. We plan to retain him for future painting projects."

"Richard called to show interest in the job to paint my two iron railings on my brick staircase leading to my front porch. We discussed the job what it entailed. He described in detail what he would do to complete the job. He would sand the old paint off, remove all loose paint chips until the railings were smooth to accept the new coats of paint. He recommended Direct to Metal (DTM) paint advising it was much better than rust oleum paint. I did my research and read the same thing so we went with the DTM paint and I’m glad we did. Richard put three coats of paint, was meticulous in his process, very neat and carefully planned. He was extremely professional, polite and friendly to deal with. The job exceeded my expectations. I will use Richard and Best for Less the next time a pint project comes up."

"I hired Loja Renovations to assembly a number of furniture I bought online that was very difficult to put together. They came and quickly assembled them with ease. They're very skilled and efficient. Apart from the reasonable cost, I was particularly impressed with their professionalism, their show of care for the customer and their respectful attitude. I definitely plan to use them again."

"5 stars only because I could not select a higher number. Professional, Courteous, reasonable, fast and efficient are all words that I can use to describe this Company. Mack and all of his crew did the type of work they would do if this were their home. Not only were they a joy to work with but they also took time to take care of the small details that most contractors do not do. They do not just do the job, they do it right. Mack offered many suggestions to us that would make the projects much better and he did them with little or no extra charges. He just wants to do things the best possible way. On our last project they installed my greenhouse and parts were missing from the container when it arrived and they insisted on coming back when the parts arrive to complete the job even though I did not expect them to. I am already planning my next projects for them to come do. They always communicated with me about the times they would be working and they were always on time. They always cleaned up when they were done and they came to ask me if they had any questions or concerns"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Forest Hills, NY

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.
