"Started and finished the job quickly and when I was told. Overall, things look good. However, on close inspection, the detail work was very poor. I found paint drips on blinds, counter tops, and wood trim. Also found a white paint boot print on my front porch that I was not able to completely get up. Cutting in around natural wood molding was not crisp (free handed and not very straight). Did not remove many outlet or switch covers and just trimmed around them. Foster claimed they could not take them off without breaking them. However, I took them off with no problem. Many of the covers were painted on. They did not trim around them well. I did not have time to let them fix everything,"

"Now living in my Golden Years, I have had many opportunities to experience contractors of all sorts working on and in my home. Without hesitation, I would consider David Stanley Residential & Commercial Painters among the (if not THE) best I have ever dealt with. I needed exterior painting and minor repairs and this is one of the many companies I researched. I was reluctant to use them at first since their ratings were not as favorable as many others. Nevertheless, when I saw the work they had done in the neighborhood (including work done for my next-door neighbor), I was impressed. Before, during, and after the project, this companyâ s performance ticked off every single box for things I look for in a contractor: excellent communication, reasonable cost, high- quality materials, meticulous workmanship, attention to detail, excellent cleanup, and professional & friendly employees. The most impressive quality to me, however, as compared to similar contractors Iâ ve used over the years, was their work ethic. It was the first contractor I can ever recall who put in a full dayâ s work every day of the week. Others Iâ ve used would start mid-morning and finish for the day in mid-afternoon and frequently did not work Fridays. David Stanley and his crew literally worked from daylight to dark every day until the project was done. I like that. At the projectâ s end, I told Mr. Stanley how pleased I was but also how reluctant I had been based on his lukewarm reviews. He told me he had many very well-satisfied customers, but few took the time to write reviews. I agree and it is unfortunate that many people have no problem making the effort to complain, but choose too often not to report their good and successful experiences. This review is intended to give credit where credit is due."

"I met a really nice group of people when I spoke with CJâ s Home Repair about replacing a broken attic staircase. Mr CJ was easy to speak with about this repair, he explained everything simply for me to understand. Marie and Trent performed a small miracle taking down the old one and replacing with a metal one. Marie in the office was always friendly when I called with questions or concerns. I would give each one of these people at least 5 stars for their dedication to my job. Everything turned out very professionally done at a great price and guaranteed workmanship"

"They were very responsive to phone calls and messages, always gave me a comprehensive and professional estimate (unlike others who think it is sufficient to scrawl a number on the back of a business card), always showed up when they said they would, were flexible and easy to work with, gave good advice and took pride in their work."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Livingston, LA

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.
