INSTALLING WALLPAPER AND PAINTING YOUR HOME IS OUR PASSION. As an owner/operator with a small crew I have Over 30 years in the trade has which gives me the unique ability to enhance the Beauty of your home with expertise! Using the right materials and equipment for the job sets us up for success. We offer interior and exterior painting. Large and small jobs are welcome! Wallpaper installation and removal is our thing! We can paint one room for you or enamel a kitchen or paint a ceiling. Let us know what you need and I bet we can do it!

"It's not possible for me to say enough positive things about David DuBose/Cutting Edge Inc. Unfortunately, we had gone through 2 different, high scoring, wallpaper companies and Thumbtack - for 2 different jobs neither of which were satisfactory, the second job in particular which included a small bathroom, walk in closet was done so poorly (dozens of poor seams, bubbles, tears, overlaps) that it had to be completely redone. David responded to us within less than a day, came to our house, evaluated what needed to be done, and was not only very informative, and let us know that we had to start from scratch and why. The wallpaper needed to be removed, the walls prepped, and the paper was rehung, not only in that room, but in a stairwell. Considering what he had to deal with, he gave us an incredibly fair quote, which we immediately agreed to, and for his crew to come in and do the work. He got us scheduled within 10 days and the crew was nothing less than courteous, professional, and excellent at their jobs. They walked us through the whole process after completing the job, the wallpaper looked absolutely flawless and they cleaned up so well, you couldn't tell that they had been there. You may pay $100 or $200 more than other quotes that you may get, but just remember: you get what you pay for... and we learned that hard lesson twice before we found David DuBose/Cutting Edge Inc., if you want to get a job done right, stress free, and by someone that will back up their work 100% if there's something you do not like, look no further than David DuBose/Cutting Edge Inc. and we'll have them back when we're ready to do our kitchen."

With over 30 years experience painting homes, I have a wide array of skills and knowledge to apply to your projects. I do all the work myself so you only get the highest quality. By staying small I'm able to keep overhead costs down which keeps your costs affordable. And its all delivered in a meticulous, friendly, professional manner.

"Jamie was great to work with! Right from the start he gave clear and detailed estimates. His prices were very reasonable. So much so that I kept adding additional rooms to the project because I was so impressed with his work. He was extremely flexible with scheduling and working with me on the timing of each room in order to give me time to move furniture around to accommodate the painting. He took care of repairing and sanding walls to ensure smooth coats. Lines were crisp and he always cleaned up after each days' work. He was clear with his communications and communicated options when they presented themselves throughout the project. Can't recommend him strongly enough. I'm done trying to do painting on my own ever again. Jamie's my guy! "

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Minneapolis, MN

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.
