"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. "

"Project went really well! Fidel was very knowledgeable about painting; his crew was timely, efficient, worked diligently, performed great work, and finished in timeframe requested; which I was in a rush to get the condo ready to sell and his crew was able to start the next day. I would highly recommend them and would use them in the future."

"This project went very well. The TrueColor Painting crew was swift, thorough, professional, friendly, and clean. Their price was good and included the minor fixes our house needed at this time. I have already been recommending TrueColor to the many neighbors who appreciate the way our house looks today."

"Good. Painters were professional, they were very flexible with our schedule as well as our painting requests. They moved an old TV set our of the room into the garage as well. They moved all the furniture. We did have to remind them to do several small task such as caulking and there were some nail holes that were missed. All in all. Good. ."

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.
