"I couldn’t be happier with the job Adam and his team at G.Z.L Painting did on our fence! They stained it beautifully, and the chocolate color looks amazing. The whole process was smooth and quick, and the team was incredibly professional. If you’re looking for top-notch work with a hassle-free experience, I highly recommend G.Z.L Painting. Thanks again, Adam!"

"We have hired Manny and his crew a few times now (and referred them to our friends as well) as we've updated the look in rooms/our house over the past two years. Manny came referred to us by a friend and he has been beyond amazing to work with. His pricing is fair. He is incredibly detailed in his work. Quick in his communication and scheduling. He and his crews have ALWAYS shown up ontime (or even early and wait) to each appointment. Whether it's Manny himself, or one of his great crew members, they take tremendous care of your house as they are there working. Tarps down to cover everything, cleanup once done. Friendly and polite....just an all around well run company. Manny takes a lot of pride in his work and it shows. would 100% recommend for any job small or large, inside or outside your home."

"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."

"Fernando and his team were easy to work with and did excellent work. He even noticed areas that needed repairs that we had not seen. Professional and high quality work. We are already planning on having them return for our next paint job."

"I had inquired about living room/hallway and kitchen painting and Fernando was super quick and detailed when providing an estimate. The job was also completed within a pretty tight time frame but with amazing results! I now recommend this business to anyone who needs a small or big job done at home!"

"They were very professional & courteous. They did a very clean job & they got the house done in a very timely efficient manner. They cleaned up after themselves & were very kind. The overall price was very reasonable. I was satisfied with the work that they performed."

"Hector and his crew are excellent! They work with my schedule and they work fast while doing an excellent quality job. They turned my garage into a palace compared to how it was when I started. They reinforced the garage structure and put up drywall on the walls and created a new ceiling with new storage area above. Then the taped, textured and painted. My garage is now the nicest room in the house. Thanks Hector! - Paul V. - San Jose, CA."

"Great! Darwin and his crew painted almost the whole interior of our house and stained the floors we had sanded, to get it ready for sale. It was done quickly and well. No missed spots, drips, etc. They cleaned up too and covered or masked areas not to be painted. Our schedule changed a lot and they were flexible, holding off when we needed them to, for other contractors to work, but when called in again came right away and did their work. Darwin kept in touch daily and often texted me photos so I could see the progress, Our buyers wanted input on the color and gloss of the floor stain and he worked with them to get it the way they wanted but stay in our budget . Afterward he came back and did some minor fixes the other contractor never got to and hauled away way the trash the other contractor left behind. We were up against closing date and I really appreciated his attitude. He told me he would do whatever needed to help us get the house ready for the buyers. Great communication, professional work and super helpful! I would definitely hire him again."

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