"Great company and best people to be around. This was a big project restoring the exterior of an 1838 house. The prep work was fantastic followed by a very profressional brush painted finish. I could not have asked for more. During the project we had cars stopping on the road to look and watch the project. That is when you know your doing some transformational. Great Job!"

"We are extremely pleased with the work Gary has done on our kitchen cabinets. He is highly knowledgeable about the process and answered all of our many questions. He was very punctual, professional and honestly priced. Our cabinets were original to the house (20 years) and were an oak color, needing an upgrade. We asked Gary to paint them white to give the kitchen a more open feel. He allowed us to pick the exact color we wanted and he took care of purchasing the products. We will absolutely be calling Gary for our next painting project! No money was required upfront and he followed through even once completed ensuring we were 100% pleased with the end results."

"We hired Marc and Parlor City Construction to enlarge our living room, by installing a LVL beam in the ceiling, replacing/rerouting electric outlet, reworking our floor to match and drywall and plaster our entire living room ceiling. The job was completed very professionally, on time service and at a reasonable cost. Each and every employee of Parlor City Construction was professional, congenial and trustworthy. We will in the future be hiring Parlor City Construction for further remodeling of our home."

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

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.
