"Jamie Dorsey has painted the exterior of our home and our cabin, as well as the interior of our home, repairing and repainting after our ceiling sustained water damage. Jamie is honest, fair, and an extremely skilled painter. We give his work an unqualified grade of A Plus. Jamie cleans up the work site impeccably when his work is done."
Before
The paint was in pretty rough shape.
The polyurethane has darkened over the years. You can see where pictures were hung.
Quite a bit of scraping on the lower portions of the porch trim.
Fence is in good shape, but heavily greyed by the sun

"an exceptional paining result by a responsive and professional crew! We've used Shelton Painting several times before for both exterior and interior work and asked them to paint 3 large rooms in readiness of a real estate listing. The work was scheduled with limited wait and was completed without delay. The Shelton team was amazing from initial estimating through to project walkthrough. We were especially pleased with the thoroughness of their work the and cleanliness of the worksite. No hesitation in recommending Shelton."

"Jose is a great guy who did my kitchen cabinets. He is very kind, professional, and helpful. The cabinets turned out beautiful, and I’m very happy with the overall result. After the job was completed, I noticed a few minor issues with the paint. I reached out to him, and he responded quickly and came back to fix everything without any problem. That really showed how much he cares about his work and his customers. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and commitment to quality. I would definitely recommend Jose to anyone looking for painting services, and I’m happy to work with him again for future projects"

"Have used AA Painting in the past and was pleased. This past summer I had my ceiling sprayed and was happy with the how it looked immediately. 6 months later I began to see some cracking in the paint, but was not completely concerned. A couple weeks later it began to start peeling off like a river birch. At this time I called and left Don a voicemail, and sent an email. Waited a week to follow up again, still nothing. After multiple emails and voicemails with photos of the issues, I have not received a response. I was not even that mad as things happen, but to disappear when your work is being questioned has me really disappointed. When speaking with other painters they have told me this issue was due to too much paint too fast (coats not completely curing)."

"Solid work. I would, and probably will, hire GTO Painting again soon for another project. Friendly and easy to work with. Showed up on time and worked every business day with a crew of 3-4 until the job was done. It took a bit longer than I think everyone expected, given it was a big and messy job, but Juan made sure that the job was done well and honored our contract, despite probably having earned less per hour than he had expected/hoped."

"The people at Classic Finishes were professional and flexible. I had a short time frame to get my new home painted after the closing, but before moving in, and the were able to accommodate that. They were friendly and helpful, and their work was not only quick, but more importantly, it was very well done! I couldnâ t be happier!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Howard Lake, MN

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.
