"We purchased a home and needed a large amount painting to be done. Bobby was professional through the entire process. He was there when he said he would be, paid attention to detail and left everything clean. He did a great job and was fairly priced. I would highly recommend him and definitely use him for all of our painting needs."

"I recently hired Sunlight Contracting to refresh the interior of my home, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and professional. John & Lou were punctual, courteous, and respectful of my space, ensuring everything was covered and protected before they began. The quality of the paintwork is outstanding—each wall, ceiling, and trim was finished with clean lines and smooth, even coverage. I was impressed with how efficiently they worked, completing the job quickly, and they left the place spotless afterward! I’m thrilled with how bright and inviting my rooms look now. I highly recommend Sunlight Contracting for anyone in need of top-quality interior painting services. I would definitely be call them again for future projects!"

"I had a small problem with one area of my ceiling that Franklin Painting had done in the past. I had difficulty getting in touch with them as they had changed their phone number and email address. When I did have contact with them Hernan came out and saw the problem. He made an appointment with me and his brother Hugo came out to repair the problem. Was done efficiently, neatly and professionally. Thank you. I would use them again as they do excellent work and live up to their guarantee."

"Five Star Painting provided terrific customer service and was extremely great to work with. Due to many unfortunate circumstances, we needed this job to be started and completed in a time-sensitive fashion (started within 7 days). Multiple companies scoffed at our time frame, saying that they could not start and finish a project so quickly. Finally, I found Five Star Painting. Bob at Five Star Painting informed me that he would be able to make an exception due to our situation, despite the current typical start time of 14 days. He made the necessary accommodations and completed the work quickly and at the time that we agreed. The only downside was that the initial paint job was not as clean as I had hoped, with some paint splatters (spots) on the door and window frames and moldings. I called Bob to express my dismay, and he quickly rectified the situation in a timely fashion. He drove to our home and made sure that all the blemishes were corrected and the paint job was truly pristine! It's easy to see that Bob runs a business where customer satisfaction is the top priority. I contacted him whenever I needed; never did I spend hours or days waiting for a reply. Communication was rapid and painless. He followed through on every agreement and commitment he made. Although the work was not perfect initially, he was quick to make amends and see that we were 100% satisfied. I recommend Five Star Painting to all my friends and family looking for professional painters who care about providing high-quality service and truly care about their customers."

"Very prompt response to my request for an estimate. Was able to accommodate my small window for project completion. Arrived on time, completed prep and expeditiously completed the project despite having to tolerate my overly generously heated apartment. The quality of the work and clean up was good. Having, over 50 years, supervised a maintenance crew and painting projects both work and personal, I’ve never experienced an absolutely perfect paint job. Would I hire Julio again, absolutely."

"We were extremely happy with the plaster work did for us. Greivin first visited to check the job and provided a very reasonable estimate the next day. We scheduled the work for a week later. Greivin and his assistant showed up on time. They were very professional and friendly. The work area was cleaned to our satisfaction, and the ceilings were left ready for painting as agreed. We highly recommend JNA Contractors LLC for any plaster/drywall work."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Highland Park, 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.
