"They did everything right. Attention to detail., keeping the job site clean, careful taping and prep. They painted our newly installed shaker style garage doors. They even painted the surrounding molding, which was not part of the bid. I would not hesitate to hire them again for any painting project."

"We contracted King of the Painters to paint the exterior of our home in Clairemont after reading customer reviews about their services. We met with the companies owners who were very helpful in helping us select a new house paint color scheme. The workers were on time and cleaned up the work site each afternoon. We had a few issues with the job and called them to report the issues and they were very quick to come out to correct the discrepancies. We would recommend using them to anyone."

"Jorge is a perfectionist! Painted our entire home interior and twice stained our exterior deck. Super attention to detail and pointing out things I didnâ t even ask for. Kept exactly to his estimate. Knowledgeable about products and options. Pleasant to have in our home. Even cleaned our chandelier for us! I have already recommended Jorge Bello to friends, and will use his services again for sure."

"Francisco and his team are true CRAFTSMEN. Everything they did was professional and beyond our expectations. My parents and close friends had their homes prepped & painted by Supremacy Painting prior to us hiring them and all of them were blown away at the level of detail, knowledge and care all of the guys had. They did some extra work on the house aide from painting (doors, coverings, new light fixture, gutters, stucco, etc, etc). They worked with us on pricing and arrived every single day right on time, straight to work and cleaned up daily. Francisco gave us some great advice and design ideas that REALLY helped transform our home. All our neighbors love the final product and a few are already planning to use Supremacy for their homes. We're beyond thrilled with everything they did for us and will absolutely be hiring them again for additional projects. THANK YOU!"

"Saul and his team did an excellent job pressure washing, stucco patching and masking to being kind enough to re-paint the accent color because I didn't like the contrast of the color I picked. They sanded our roll up garage doors and after painting they looked like new! They were very thorough and cleaned up everything when they left. Unlike some reviews I have read of other painting companies they did not leave paint all over our concrete or grass. Each night they stored all their gear and supplies neatly. They only use top quality products and take real pride in their work. Would totally hire them again!"

"I recently hired Rex Painting Inc. for a paint job, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was professional, on time, and paid great attention to detail. They did a fantastic job prepping, painting, and cleaning up afterward—everything looks clean and flawless."

"I was really pleased with how well this project went. The estimate was very competitive. They were able to start the following week, and it took exactly the number of days they projected. The painters were very professional and expert in their craft. The house appearance is outstanding, and many neighbors have complimented the results. I will hire this company again when it comes time to paint the interior of the house in a few years."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in La Jolla, CA

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.
