"Brannick Painting just finished a complete exterior repaint of our house in El Cerrito, including staining our deck. Patrick and his team were wonderful to work with. Patrick helped us with color selection, painting large sheets of posterboard with several colors we considered, so we could hold them up to the house in different lighting to see how they would look when finished. we have heard from others that they had small swatches painted on their house and Patrick’s approach is so much more helpful. Patrick is also extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of preparation and painting. We have an old stucco house that needed a lot of detailed preparation. His crew is very experienced, and they did an excellent job repairing and preparing all of the cracks and blemishes on our house. We are very happy with the final product. We highly recommend using Brannick Painting."

"I’ve discovered my go-to painting company! Renee was a pleasure to work with and kept all his promises. His communication skills were top-notch. The painters who actually did the work were fantastic. They were meticulous, attentive, and incredibly respectful. And to top it off, they were either punctual or arrived early every single day, which is a rare feat for contractors in the Bay Area. We’ll definitely be using Kannel’s Painting Service again."

"I was VERY pleased with the CertaPro Painters (Berkeley) team - from Kevin (the sales guy who came out to scope the work and provide a quote), to Deon (Production Manager), Hieme (foreman), and the guys who did the prep, painting, and carpentry work that was required. They were easy to work with and professional, and the quality of work was really good. I particularly appreciated how flexible and open they were to my requests as the project progressed - no attitude or unnecessary complexity. I would work with them again and recommend them."

"Indigo Painting did an excellent job painting our home in San Francisco. We've had our home painted several times, but Indigo by far did the best job ever. They thoroughly cleaned, scraped, patched and prepped the house for painting. Then they gave us a really beautiful, detail oriented paint job. They also kept us informed of any damage they found. Omar and his team are incredibly accommodating and pleasant to work with. Finally, their pricing is very reasonable especially for the excellent quality of work that they do."

Before pictures
(Before Pic)Home was pressure washed with a 3000 psi machine to remove as much dirt and grime from the exterior house wall surfaces before painting. We sanded all the bad areas and spot primed them before painting. Used caulking to seal any open grooves and open wood joints as needed.
(Before l) This photo shows the condition of the cabinet before it was refinished. You can see the stain is faded and clear coat is chipping away from water damage and moisture in the air.
Exterior Repaint
Prepped the door for painting. Sanded it then primed it. Removed the door handle and carefully covered the hinges before spray painting the door.

"We had a small window of time between when the previous owners were moving out and we were moving it to have some work done and Michael was able to make that happen for us! The garage of our new house needed the walls and ceiling repainted before we could have the new flooring put in. Michael was quick to respond, efficient in the process, came out to consult and color match first, and was able to do the job in record time. It made SUCH a difference to the space. He patched a repaired a few spots on the walls, removed hanging hardware and prepped/taped off anything that needed it. All super professionally done. There was one area that started cracking while it drying and Michael was quick to respond and come fix, no questions asked. I would hire Michael again without hesitation (and plan to when we decided to paint some rooms!)."

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.
