"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 used them for ceiling repair and for ceiling and wall painting. They were responsive and gave a good quote. They offered me choices ("Do all this or just that?") and worked with me on timing. They arrived when they said they would, and got the job done efficiently. It looks great, I'm so very pleased! They cleaned up after themselves when they were done. I'd use Franklin again and comfortably recommend him to my friends."

"I could not be happier with EJ painting, they did a fantastic job on our bathroom ceiling, super professional, and straight-forward scheduling. I'm now thinking of more projects to work with them on in the future."

"My parents and I live in a old brick apartment building in Hoboken that is from the 1880s. The bathroom in our apartment had not been updated since the 1940s. We needed help ASAP. We checked out Cesar s page and wanted to hire him immediately. The reviews speak for themselves. When he came into our apartment to give us a quote we knew that this was contractor we needed to get the job done. Cesar is affordable, friendly, and very accommodating to any issues or concerns you have before starting the project. Two massive issues with our project were that my dad has spinal & walking issues, so we needed the floors clear of all tools and materials at the end of the each day so that father could walk efficiently through the apartment. The other big issue was that we only have 1 bathroom, so Cesar agreed to work with us on pulling the toilet off and on as every day finished so that we did not have to leave our building to use the toilet. Him and his crew are the best and take pride in their work so that owner is happy with the final result. We brought the bathroom down to the bare bones and rebuilt it back up. I worked with him every step of the way to make sure that he needed all materials to get the job done in the time we needed. This project was an intense remodel with some of the hardest demo and substrate materials that an old bathroom can have. He didn t think anything of it. He has veteran experience in the field and this remodel only took 3 weeks. We are very impressed with Cesar s craftsmanship and professionalism and we will be hiring him again for any future interior projects."

"I hired Big Star to power wash and stain my deck. Tony responded quickly to my request, came by to give an estimate that same evening and completed the job within 4 days just as I asked. Tony is friendly, professional and even repaired my fence gate and cleaned the pathways leading to the deck (no charge). The total cost was $200 cheaper than the next closest estimate I got. The results look awesome 👏!!!"

"Tito & Son Construction did an outstanding job painting my apartment. I was hesitant at first but after making contact with them I have nothing but great things to say about them. They took their time to prepare the apartment first before painting. They made sure my carpet didn t get any paint stains by covering the floors, etc. I had so many questions regarding the paint quality and type to use on my apartment walls. They were there in every step of the way to make my decisions a lot easier. I highly recommend them, five stars all across the board. Highly professional and best customer service. Thank you Tito & Son Construction!"

"Darek and his workers are AMAZING. They consistently showed up on time and worked with us to get the job done on time. When it became obvious that our original plan for the room (replace drywall, sand, and paint) would not address all the structural issues uncovered during the demo phase, they were more than willing and able to work with us on a solution that didn't break the bank (rebuild broken staircase, rebuild pantry, replace wood and tile flooring). The finished project far exceeds our expectations."

"I have had a lot of experience with contractors in the past for work in my house. I must say this was my best experience. The workers were on time each day as is Very important with my work schedule. Protective of non work areas , to and from the bathroom project. They completed the project on time. The work was exceptional. The (owner) contractor was in contact with me during the whole project in person and on the phone anytime I needed."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Hillside, 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.
