"Very satisfied with Jose’s painting and I’d hire them again for sure. Work was quality, thorough, efficient, etc. Same crew from start to finish - they did good work and were courteous, kept me informed, and kept to the schedule. I interviewed 3 others before starting, and they seemed to be the most capable. I’m glad I chose them. Jose was easy to work with and he and his crew inspired confidence throughout the whole process."

"Cesar was very good at communicating and was helpful every step of the way. He takes pride in his work and aims to please. I am very happy with the end result. He painted my home exterior last year, and now I had my interior done as well. I have recommended him to friends, and he was recommended to me by several friends. That says a lot!"

"Excellent group of painters! I appreciated that Juan came on time, gave me an estimate and provided a date and an approximate finished time. Let me tell you, these guys held up to their work and their word! They showed up everyday on time with the crew ready to work. They did an amazing job and were so meticulous with the corners, lines, and baseboards. I canâ t say enough good things about them! They were all so friendly and honest, I would recommend them 1000%! If youâ re looking for great reasonably priced painters that get the job done, this is your place!"

"Excellence from the first meeting to the last follow up. The entire team exceeded our expectations, and the work was absolutely professionally planned and executed. They took care of our large 2 unit / 3 story condo building on a challenging sight (we are on a hill). The estimated cost was very reasonable and our change orders were also very competetively priced. Absolutely recommend Certa pro.!"

"Angel did excellent work. There was a great deal of preparation needed for the job and he did everything necessary to insure the outcome was perfect. My job took over four days and Angel was prompt, focused and always a pleasure to communicate with. Also, his price was especially reasonable. I will use Angel Hic for any future painting project I have. He has my highest recommendation."

"I have worked with several painters in the past and hands down I had the best experience with iHue. They are highly detailed in their work and extremely professional. They always finished exactly when they said they would. And their prices are very fair for the amount of work they did for me."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Malibu, 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.
