"Scott painted all the interior walls in our new house, he patched and painted the garage and made it so much nicer, he painted our kitchen cabinets, which turned out beautiful and saved us so much money compared to refacing, and he also painted a tricky accent wall covered with reclaimed wood after patching it, and that changed from a weird problem to an elegant feature of the house. All these projects were expertly done on time while I was away, and his estimates for each were accurate and lower than those of his competitors. When I have other projects I will go straight to him."

"We hired Luis to paint our bathroom vanity cabinet and we’re genuinely impressed. He was extremely neat and took the time to properly prep everything before starting. Even though we supplied the paint, he advised us on the right type to get for the best results. Luis and his apprentice cleared the space, made room for drying, and carefully removed all doors and drawers before spray painting and double coating them. He reinstalled everything perfectly. The lighter color covered the dark cherry beautifully and the finish is smooth and even. The job took a day and a half instead of one day, but we appreciated that he didn’t rush. He also cleaned up thoroughly afterward. Solid, careful, high quality work. We’d hire Luis again without hesitation."

"Alex is a professional painter. He arrived on time, gave us an estimate. He also was able to install insulation in several walls, installing sheet rock, texturing the surfaces then painting. The project was just completed and it really looks great. I will definitely call Alex again the next time we need additional painting work done."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Los Altos, 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.
