"Shamrock Painting and Wallpaper did a fantastic job! I needed my apartment walls repainted so I called Shamrock Painting & Wallpapering. They were easy to communicate with, arrived on time and completed the job to my satisfaction and on time. They did an excellent job painting my entire apartment and patching some electrical outlet holes I needed moved. I called them again for another painting project I had, and they were prompt to reply and give me a quote."

"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."

"Freddy and his team are terrific. Very professional, trustworthy, and competent. They have a positive attitude and did a great job painting our entire apartment. They took care of moving and covering our furniture, then moved everything back into place. I highly recommend this team. I will gladly recommend them to friends and family, and would use them again for sure."

"The team did drywall repair, painting, coordinated plumbing work, replaced cabinetry and installed thermostats. All work was performed on schedule and on budget. When issues arose (as happens with every project), they communicated with us and brought solutions to the table rather than excuses. They are great to work with and their work is fantastic and priced fair. Hire them, you will not be sorry."

"All of the work was done professionally and with great attention to detail. The owner “Dominick” was present each day and discussed any questions or concerns regarding this project. His two assistants were also very thorough. At the end of each day, the work area was swept and vacuumed. I was 100% satisfied. I would definitely use the services of this company again."

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.
