"The quality of the work was outstanding. The wallpapering was very difficult because the building had settled so the walls were uneven. Nevertheless, Michael matched the extremely detailed wallpaper patterns. Michael was reliable, good-natured and worked late to ensure the project was completed so other construction could be performed according to timelines. His prices were very competitive, about half of what other highly rated professionals on Angie's List quoted. He also introduced me to an excellent contractor as well as a decorative painter. I highly recommend him."

"My wife and I had high expectations for this project and we are very pleased with the results. We interviewed three contractors and found Matt to be very knowledgeable about our painting project. His Angie’s List reviews were stellar giving us the confidence to retain his services. He arrived in a timely manner each day. Matt and his partner worked quietly, neatly and clearly took pride in their work. The paint lines contrasting the different paint tones of the trims, door and window surrounds are crisp and ruler straight. He finished our project in two days which was his estimate. I found him personable and easy to work with. His price was very competitive. If your looking for a painter, Matt is your guy. We plan to retain him for future painting projects."

"The team did a great job on some very old plaster walls. They were professional, quiet and kept to their word on schedule. The plaster repairs and painting were great - we will be using them again and I would recommend them to others as well."

"Very nice friendly people, who do high quality professional work. Honest and honorable, when they saw I didn't have the tiles I needed (which I thought I could provide before they started work), they gave me a significant break on the original(already extremely reasonable)quote; and still prepared the wall to make future tile installation easy. When the saw a very small area near the area worked on that they thought might need a small patch, (without my asking) they asked me if I'd like them to give it patch it as part of the other work. The worker did a great job within the time they quoted. They found a pipe from upstairs had a small leak, affecting discoloration of the wall they were to paint. Rather than leave their work to be ruined by the ongoing leak, they volunteered (after showing me) to paint up to a point,and make arrangements to come back after I can get management to fix the leak from upstairs. They're honest, hardworking and honorable workers;a pleasure to work with."

"I hired Loja Renovations to assembly a number of furniture I bought online that was very difficult to put together. They came and quickly assembled them with ease. They're very skilled and efficient. Apart from the reasonable cost, I was particularly impressed with their professionalism, their show of care for the customer and their respectful attitude. I definitely plan to use them again."

"Mr. Thomas Norfleet and his crew were very professional, and careful with furniture and other items such as wall paintings and plants. His team cleaned all areas of any paint drips, and removed all that should he discarded. I'm very satisfied with the paint job that was completed in a short period of time. ..one day.

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Manhattan, NY

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.
