"I needed exterior painting done at my house. I received a quote from 5 different companies. The others told me what they wouldn't do and then their high price. Berger's was the most reasonable. Steve was very patient and informative. He walked me through what the paint project entailed. There was stucco work that needed to be done prior to painting which they took care of fabulously. On a daily basis his guys came out every morning on time, cleaned up before leaving, and were very helpful in answering my questions as well as they were progressing through the project. They even did a few extra things that I had not asked them for in regards to painting. The project took one week to complete. Two days later I noticed there were a few spots that needed touch-up. The guys came back out right away to retouch. I am very pleased with the work they did. I would definitely hire them again and would definitely recommend them to others."

"Cesar and the CR Painting crew were very friendly and professional. Cesar provided me with a detailed estimate and always responded promptly whenever I would email or text him. When I decided at the last minute to replace rather than repaint the existing shutters on my house he was very understanding and accommodating. He did a great job painting the new shutters but even went above and beyond by taking the old shutters down and installing the new shutters at no extra cost, even though that work was not included in his original estimate. I would definitely recommend CR Painting and will be using them for all of my future painting projects."

"Immediately I knew Jose’s Painting would be the company to not only bring my home back to life, but would protect it to SUSTAIN the impact of future elements, due to the proposal that was written with extensive care as to HOW they were going to get the house back into shape and WHAT they were going to use. My home has not been painted or stuccoed since the early 80's it needed TLC. This FAMILY OWNED company makes you feel like you are part of the family. Jose aka “Pops” had extensive details of how to make the project come together, while his son Jose had the modern perspective of how to keep the project in current times. The foremen, Elvis explained every detail whenever we had questions or requests. Allen, Gochi, and Ozzy showed up everyday with professionalism and care. The whole team is trustworthy and relatable. I will NOT use any other painting/stucco/interior/exterior specialist for any future project. The care and detail the team provided went above and beyond. WORTH every penny! This one is for the WIN!"

"The painting job went great.  The two painters, Lester and Carlos, showed up promptly at 8am each day and kept me informed regarding the work for the day.  The whole project took 3 days.  My main concern was for my master bedroom, which had some spots and wear and tear on the walls.  Lester addressed the issue with priming the walls and painting.  They helped me move furniture away from the walls and put it back after painting."

"Rodriguez Paint and Finish came in and took a six year old paint job with a bunch of holes from different picture frame changes, peeling paint, incomplete patches, and two different colors as there was a decorative border and turned it into a dream room. I love dark colors and we got a accent wall with a dark color while the other color was a light paint, they complemented each perfectly. He was able to finish the job in a timely manner and provided us the extra paint for later touch ups(we have small children and things happen). I am very happy with the job and look forward to using the company for future projects."

"A few years back Hic Painting Painted all my doors and baseboards inside my house and then this year 2024 they painted my exterior home. Angel was very professional and his crew was great to work with and very hard workers. My house turned out amazing and everyone in the neighborhood is amazed at the transformation of our home! All thanks to Hic Painting. Angel is worth the hire!"

"Oscar and his assistant did stellar work. My kitchen was a mess. It had been previously painted several times without proper sanding and attention to detail by my Landlord. Oscar was so easy going and calm about the whole thing. It took a day less than projected and the clean up and attention to detail was perfect. I would and will hire him again!"

"The work was completed in a professional way. The ceiling looks as good as new! The patching, painting and texturing were completed with all areas sealed off to keep the room clean. The cost was very reasonable and I am very pleased with the job Glamour Home Remodeling did."

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.
