"Matt prepped, skimmed, primed, painted - advised on type of paint to buy, showed up right on time, keep me informed throughout and offered solutions. Reasonably priced. Work looks great and I will be hiring him for my next painting project."

"Chris from Fourth Wall Painting arrived in a timely fashion for each visit, from the initial estimate inspection to each of the 2 days allotted for the project. Being busy around the holidays, I appreciated that Chris was flexible regarding scheduling, even offering to get the job done as quickly as possible - and on top of being summoned for jury duty as well! He did excellent work repainting my current rental to my exact specifications, and did a thorough job of attending to touch-ups and cleaning up after completion. He even taught me the trick for setting my door latch to automatically lock! I will hire Chris again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend him to anyone with a project they wish to have completed efficiently, on time, and for a fair price."

"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."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t be happier with the work Manuel did on our house. He covered everything the renovation required- tile work, plastering, plumbing, electric, carpentry. The tile work is absolutely flawless, the baseboards were installed with great attention to detail, and the plastering on the ceilings came out smooth and professional. Everything was done with care, precision, and a clear pride in craftsmanship. He was reliable, punctual, and kept the work area clean throughout the project. Communication was excellent, and he made sure everything was done exactly the way we wanted. The house looks completely transformed, and the quality of work exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy handyman. We will definitely be using him again for future projects!"

"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.
