"I had a small job of painting a front door under a tight timeline. The team called me coordinated a visit to quote me accurately and completed the job the same day. Because of the cold weather there was an area of the door that need some another coat, the team came back out took additional measures to make sure the weather wouldn’t affect the job and it came out perfect. Very responsive and customer focused. Thank you"

"I needed to make sure my apartment was in tip top shape before moving out to get my security deposit back. Nonetheless David did a fantastic job painting in an efficient and clean manner. He gave me no issues at all and was very helpful in helping me color match the previous paint on the wall. I would recommend David to anyone in need of some work around the house. He does not disappoint!!"

"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)."

"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"

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.
