"Timely quote given. Project scheduled a few weeks later. Unfortunately will require some touch up painting but they left matching paint thankfully, otherwise would have been higher rating."

"5 star rating 7/8/2025 I had an exterior painting job for trim on an old house. I interviewed a few people but Jeff stood out by asking all the right questions and making intelligent suggestions as we went over the project details. I could tell he understood I was interested in a quality job. We kept in contact between the initial free consultation and the date he had scheduled with us. He even did some requested investigation on paints before the job even started. When the time came to do the job he showed up and went to work. I noticed he was always thinking and asking questions when he identified something that he thought I might want him to do. The job was completed with very high quality work and cleanliness. He went out of his way to work with our schedule. He was not the least expensive but I believe he was a good value. I am in the process of trying to identify more complex jobs that I could have him do to take advantage of his wide range of skills."

Customers say: Quality work

"Eli came out and re graded a whole residential yard for me along with taking out and reinstalling a rock bed on the side of my house. He did a great job and I highly recommend Precision Works for anything excavating related! Eli is a super nice guy, very professional, and is very fair with his pricing! He was very honest with the whole job from start to finish!! If you don't hire this company, you will be letting yourself down!"

"Matt is very easy to communicate with, prompt work speed and does a solid job. He recently replaced a door and window that was almost replacing the entire wall actually in two days flat. It feels at least 10 degrees warmer now he's fixed all the rot and got placed in better insulated windows. Would and will re-hire for some other projects soon."

"Corey is a top-notch small business owner who strives to meet AND exceed his client's expectations!! I'm SO happy with his work ethic and integrity that he and I have already discussed him coming out every spring to do maintenance to keep our back looking ship-shape and beautiful. He was super responsive and kept me up to date on all scheduled work. His employees were equally of high quality and integrity! He was trustworthy as well as very enthusiastic and made sure to meet my needs. He's a standout small business who I highly recommend. Thank you, Corey, for such piece of mind and a fantastic job well done!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Hillsborough, NH

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.
