"Absolute Finishing was professional. They removed an old stove top and an oven built into the cupboards and left space for a new range. They were always friendly with explanations and went beyond expectations when unexpected problems with the project came up. I recommend them highly."

"Excellent. Serious pealing required considerable work, often at difficult to reach second story. Job was done well. Akena's charge for all work was exceptionally reasonable. Parenthetically, in addition to painting skill, it should be mentioned that he was professionally knowledgeable, for example, he determined why paint had pealed and suggested how to prevent future erosion. Mr. Akema was found to be a particularly friendly individual with whom we enjoyed doing business. We recommend him and his company without reservations."

"How did it go?  One word 'AWESOME'.  Air ducts were filthy, carpets were stained.  Both look brand new.  Tim was FANTASTIC.  The house smells GREAT.  Carpets look GREAT.  I can't heap enough praise on Tim and this company.  Would I hire again?  IN A HEARTBEAT.  There is a reason why they have so many 'A's.  Friendly, professional, personable.  Can't think of enough good things to say.  BUY NOW.  You won't be disappointed.

"It turned out great. The carpet was good. It was just the third bedroom that I wasn't happy with. Overall, it was good for the price. It was okay. They completed the job in less than an hour. My daughter was there. The third bedroom's carpet was wet but the stains are still there. It was not permanent stain but it looked like the bedroom wasn't even touched."

"The painting was to be completed in July but was delayed until August.  Unfortunately,  I had deck work scheduled for the week they started painting which caused confusion and further delay.  The workers were courteous and cleaned up after themselves.  From what I can determine they did a good job.  They did have to return to repaint the garage doors to match the siding  as the doors were painted the trim color.  I'm not quite sure the paint color matches the siding."

"It went really well. Finding a solid spot to attach grab bars through a fiberglass shower enclosure is tricky because of the gap between the fiberglass and the studs. Chris found a kit from Moen that made the installation look fantastic and super safe. I think he was unfamiliar with this kind of an installation before this project but he did his homework and we ended up with a really nice job. The installation looked very professional and Chris did a great job of clean up afterwards. I would definitely use him again."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Ithaca, NE

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.
