"Very happy with the results from Wilbur Gonzalez and his crew. His estimate was spot on, he worked with my schedule and did a great job. He plastered, painted and restored a room that had been severely neglected for many years. I would highly recommend him and his team."

"We hired Tim and his crew for the first time back in May of 2008. They did a fantastic job! So, when it came time to “freshen-up” and do some minor/major repairs to our beloved home, the first name that came to mind was Tim and his crew. We have hired them once again this November 2025, and could not be happier. Our home once again has that splendor of a “new” home look! Thank you Tim! "

"Once again outstanding service. I hired Power House Painting last year to clean my home and this year they did not let me down. The tech (Amiri Catton) was on time and did a fantastic job on my once dirty home. Thank You."

"Ben provided high quality service for a fair price. The interior painting was fantastic and he went the extra mile for trim and door finishing. For pressure washing, Ben was able to clean out the gutters and make the exterior spotless afterwards. Ben was also able to repair our back door trim and repaint it on a short notice. I highly recommend Ben for any home project you need help with."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Chesapeake, VA

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.
