"THP gave me a quick, accurate estimate. They power-washed the entire house, then did prep, and painted my trim... In 1 day! My house has 2 trim colors, a different garage door color, and I asked them to add painting some pillars. They gave me a good price, and their final total was less than the original quote plus a small tip. I noticed one area that was very badly cracking and pealing and did not look very good after they moved on. I mentioned it, and they went back, re-sanded, and repainted to my satisfaction. They were very pleasant to work with and worked around a lot of our "planters and stuff". Thank you guys! Charles Taylor, Reunion, Commerce City, CO 80022"

"Mark did a great job repairing a ceiling in our downstairs bathroom. He matched the texture and even painted the ceiling using our paint to match the previous ceiling. The damage to our ceiling occured from a broken plumbing pipe (that was fixed by plumber). The ceiling looks like it did before and I would recommend this company for your future projects! Mark is also very kind, respectful and professional!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Lakewood, CO

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.
