"Cornelio did a great job painting my tiny home. He painted my bathroom and walk-in closet, stained the loft stairs and kitchen shelves, installed crown molding, and painted the window trim and front door. I plan to hire him again to paint my sliding barn door. He was very professional, bilingual (Spanish/English), and easy to communicate with. I really appreciated his patience and guidance when choosing low-toxicity paints, since I have a sensitive sense of smell and limited space. His recommendations were thoughtful and health-conscious, and the results were exactly what I hoped for. Highly recommend!"

"Rene was very good about communicating and engaging in a dialogue about the scope of the work, how long it would take, the price (his bid was the lowest). His worker showed up on time, brought all the necessary equipment. Rene came at the end to check out the work and take his equipment back. Highly recommended. "

"Best Painter I have ever hired. I contacted Walt in early July. After meeting him, I had a good feeling about him. But I didn't want the job to be done until I was on break from work in October. He was no pressure, when ever I wanted it. Explained that I wanted to brighten up the room, the color I had was dark. He made some good suggestions that I went with. I was not disappointed. Great Customer service. Took pride in prepping the walls and baseboard. He was a clean painter very organized with a plan. He knew I would need a second coat on the walls, and he was 100% right. The work was done in 2 days. With his experience he made it look simple. I have several more paint jobs, and I will be hiring Walt. Thank you Walt."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Oakland, CA

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.
