"The painters were very conscientious and did a good job of covering all areas even when it was difficult. There were very few areas where I asked them to do more work. The end of day cleanup could have been better. Cesar was easy to work with when weather and cold temperatures challenged doing the work. The project was done well and for the cost quoted. I would recommend Cesar's painting for exterior painting."

"Platinum Painting was amazing! I needed cabinets painted in my kitchen and they were from the 2000 era (milky white/pink wash). Platinum Painting stripped, stained and finished the cabinets beautifully so they now match our hardwood floors."

"JTP did a great job!! They were polite, friendly, worked efficiently and neatly. They brought all of the supplies needed and cleaned up after first day so they were ready to start when they got there the next day. Put the room back together when job was finished. Looked so great! Job was completed as promised and price was fair. I would recommend them to friends and use them again if needed another area painted."

"Mark and his team were wonderful to work with, timely and responsive. A year after they finished my house painting and deck staining, some stain had worn off my steps. Despite being past the standard Warenttee, Mark arranged to have the area touched up and even bought me the stain!"

Customers say: Quick response

"I hired Jose & team to paint the inside of my 5700 sq ft home. They painted the ceilings and walls of every room. Our walls were dark, and everything took at least 2 coats and sometimes 4 coats. They covered every bit of a room and nothing was damaged. We had been quoted 2 weeks and the entire house was done in 6 days leaving plenty of time to tidy up before a holiday. You could tell the crew has worked together for a long time, people were always moving and doing different things and the next thing I knew a room was done. Our entrance way was 25ft high by 20ft wide by 100+ ft long and ceilings to walls were all done without any scaffolding. They did this area in 3 days, 1 to tape off & 2 to paint. If there was any uncertainty, Jose was right there asking a question and offering suggestions. Working my entire career in large Corp jobs my expectations of how people work, and tackle things is high. Jose & crew are very buttoned up and have me thinking about my exterior paint needs."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Mckinney, TX

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.
