"Not everyone has the gift of painting. i am one of those who didn't get it so I have to turn to the professionals when I need something painted. i have used many painters throughout the years, and never found one that did the actual painting without leaving a mess or a not so quality job. Now that Kolors by Kara are a part of my world, i'll never use another painter. Kara was great at helping me decide on the perfect colors for my rooms. They were very professional and respectful of my home. Transitioning colors is hard for me. I'm happy with white but friends maintain I needed some tinge of color. They also painted my sons room which has been red and black for years. Since he's moved out, I am turning this room into a guest room. I wasn't convinced the red and black wouldn't bleed through the calmer more peaceful color I wanted. They ended up doing the job while I was out of town and was excited to return home to a fresh faced interior. Kara and her husband are so friendly, you felt like you were dealing with a long time friend. i will definitely hire her again and recommend her every time someone asks for a painter recommendation."

"I loved working with J&S Painting. They are nice, efficient, communicative, and overall great workers. They made painting the interior of our entire home easy, and even patched holes we had in the drywall, which was huge for us. They did an amazing job with paint work, trim, and ceilings. Thank you all so much!"

"Wow, I’d recommend this company without hesitation. I originally gathered a few paint contractor names from Angie’s List and friends and then got 4 estimates for several jobs around my house. I was impressed by the prompt and courteous response of Robin, Skip’s wife who runs the office. When we met to discuss the job, Skip himself was on time, knowledgeable and thorough (as are his written proposals - you know exactly each step that is taken - a good paint job is about 80% prep work!). His proposal came in a bit above mid-range of the 4; not the most expensive but I’ve learned you get what you pay for in painting. It was a no-brainer to hire him. He kept in good communication about start and end dates and followed through. In just over a day my horrid ceiling (water damage, peeling, buckling) looked brand new. I couldn’t believe it! Every job was done beautifully and I believe they may have left the site cleaner than they found it. It was the best painting experience I’ve had, start to finish."

"Mr. Hammond and his employee were very professional. We had them install siding and windows and then had them do some drywall and trim work. We were on vacation, Mr. Hammond’s work exceeded our expectations, work and cleanup were done when we got home. Would definitely hire him again!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Louisville, KY

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.
