"Dan was timely in giving me a quote and then scheduled the work a month or so out to fit my schedule. He and his team did just as they promised. They cleaned the siding and gutters, caulked any cracks, replaced a few cedar boards and then painted it all with a thick coat of Sherwin Williams paint. It looks great and they left no mess. Will use Dan for my future painting."

"Debra, Dave, and Mike did a wonderful job. I cannot thank them enough for the terrific job they did. Not only did they remove the wallpaper in the entry way, hallway, living room, and loft, they also made sure the walls were repaired, smoothed, and ready for painting. The result was absolute perfection. I would highly recommend Two Sisters Painting for wallpaper removal and interior painting projects. In fact, I am working with them to have the same work performed on my master bedroom and bathroom. Thanks again, Debra, Dave and Mike!"

"Mark Mathis, the owner, and his crew run by Bob are "hands down" the best painters on the northside of Indpls. I've had a lot of painting done over the last 20 yrs, and I've never encountered a painting team w/more integrity, comprehensive eye for detail, and a "can do" attitude.
Their price is fair, Mark understood the nature and time frame for our project, and even though he's in the busiest time of the year for him, he was able to fit his crew in to our timeframe.
I will never utilize another painter again, I highly recommend others giving Custom Colors Painting Co., their projects !!

"This is the 3rd time I have hired FISH Painting and always impressed with the results. We had a custom made bench and lockers built into our mudroom. We wanted it painted 2 different colors along with staining the bench. We knew it was a tough project. Dennie and his crew did a great job of making sure they knew the exact specifics of the job, and then did a great job of hitting every detail, while working around our busy schedule to get in and get the work done. Results exceeded our expectations!"

"Rickleff Painting recently painted our kitchen, family room, entryway, stairway and upstairs hall. Also ceilings and trim in all the areas. The painters were very professional and stayed on task. The project took several days and they arrived and departed on time each day. We were so pleased with the results especially with the repaired ceiling tape in family room that had needed fixing for 20 years. Love the refreshed clean look of our home."

"Sky painting did an excellent job. Very professional, very efficient. They finished the project in only three days. The employees were very hard working and polite. The company was flexible with rescheduling (our fault). I would definitely recommend them."

"Mr. Masters was very personable and professional. He did an excellent job on repairing and painting my ceilings in three different rooms. He kept me informed about the project every step of the way. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I will definitely be hiring again."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Indianapolis, IN

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.
