"Sergio and team painted my entire inside of the home (4,300sf). The project included all trim, walls, ceilings, doors. Throughout the project, they were professional, friendly, and punctual to the estimated timetable. The final product was superb. Upon initial completion, they performed a thorough examination of the entire home looking for touch up spots to meet their perfectionist-like standards. I would highly recommend Sergio for any painting job you may have. I will definitely book again for future projects."

"The University Painters team was so enjoyable to work with. They were prompt, professional, and did an excellent job from set-up to clean up. We will definitely be using them for all our painting needs moving forward. This time we used them for a kitchen project: walls, trim and cabinet sanding and painting. We couldn't be more pleased!"

"I would give Ochoas Constructions LLC 100 stars if I could! Jhonny contacted me very quickly after my inquiry, came to my house to provide a free estimate the next day, gave a fair quote, and started the project the following week. He's a great communicator and super friendly! You know how sometimes you just get a good vibe about someone right away? That's Jhonny. I hired him to paint a room but he does literally everything and I look forward to contacting him for future projects of all sorts!"

"Ken Maugans was very professional and explained how the damaged garage ceiling drywall would be repaired. In addition, he painted the entire garage and discussed various options that were available. The entire project was completed as scheduled with very little inconvenience to me. I am very happy with the final product and would recommend Ken to anyone needing painting and drywall projects."

"There is not really a good category to chose from, but we hired Ochoa construction to spruce up the exterior of our home. They power washed our fence and siding and repaired the trim of our home and painted it. They also repaired a door and painted it and painted the garage door. Excellent service and at a great price. Would definitely hire them again"

"DnB was good with a complicated job here of using 5 different paint colors and 2 different stain colors all in close quarters, along with three or four areas of drywall that were a mess from prior contractor. Also they met their timing commitment to the very day that they promised arrival (two months prior)."

"OK in general. The work was delayed a lot by the weather. The rotten top two 2x4 beams (10 feet long) were removed and replaced and primer placed on the bare wood during the first visit. That part of the job was excellent. When it came time to paint the new wood, the worked thought he was to do the carpentry work first. He noted it was done and offered to paint the entire trellis. He used a roller then a brush, but it was blue on blue, and I couldn't tell if anything was not painted. However it was clear he did not cover the white primer on the new wood well at all. There were multiple white areas showing. This could not be seen at eye level, but was glaringly obvious as you went up the stairs to our front porch, and was easily seen from the porch. I reported this to the manager, and she sent out a professional to finish the job correctly."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Harrisburg, PA

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.
