"Eric Painted all of the interior of my tri level home. He was kind, professional, and very detail oriented. He went above and beyond, making sure that every wall and ceiling were meticulously coated. This was not an easy task since my walls were going from being green and red to all white! This is the best paint job my home has ever had! I will definitely use his services again in the future and refer him to everyone I know. Thanks again, Eric!"

"One of the initial reasons I chose Dominguez Painting over other offers was the prompt communication from the office administrator (Lisa). She was a pleasure to work with and kept me well informed throughout the entire project. Work began in just a few weeks and only took a couple of days. Before the job began, Jose met with me (around my busy schedule) to talk about the job and I was emailed an estimate a few days later. I have aluminum siding and had his crew pressure wash, patch some defects, and paint the entire exterior of our home. (1500 sqft colonial) The work was extremely well done. Jose and everyone in his crew were very courteous, even to neighbors who asked questions about them spraying. (No problems with spray-over). Since Jose couldn’t be there on the last day, his crew leader actually waited 30 minutes for me to get home so he could walk through the entire job with me to make sure I was satisfied. Later on Jose walked through with me again. Every person with this company is a pleasure to work with. I will hire them in the future if I have another painting project and would (and have) recommended this company to others."

"The job required two days to complete. The first day was to remove several rotten fence posts and install new ones. The new posts were anchored in concrete which had to set. The second day the posts were screwed to the existing fence."

"I was referred to Careyâ  s Painting by Angiâ  s List for an entire home paint job. It was easy to set up an appointment and Kevin came out the same day to provide an estimate. I had a pretty good idea of what color I wanted but Kevin made some really great and thoughtful suggestions for alternative colors to compliment our home. He was the first person do that and I appreciated his willingness to do so. He also took the time to advise me of which paints, of the few that I selected, would be harder to touch-up. As a courtesy, on day one he brought in samples of my final two selections and placed them on the wall for comparison. We had a pretty tight timeline to complete the project and Kevin advised that they could complete the job before Thanksgiving and he delivered on that promise. Within 14 hours in two days his crew had completely painted our home, including doors, walls, and trim. The crew was incredibly respectful of our space, asked great questions, and went out of their way to ensure that everything was perfect. I would definitely recommend Careyâ  s Painting for your future projects"

"Carlos and the crew he had were incredibly professional and talented with their craft. We had some brand-new blinds put up throughout our two-story house in no time at all. They had installed two new storm-doors on our patio after the last two started sagging and falling apart due to a lack of cross-bracing as they described. Would definitely be keeping in contact for future projects."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Norfolk, 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.
