"Excellent customer service & a company you can trust! Paul provided a detailed description on what the project entails & who the team lead would be. John gave a good advice on the choice of paint colors. Hesus & Jose did a great job painting the house during the hot days in July. I am very happy overall & will definitely recommend."

"Excellent Work and Outstanding Service! I found Jose Rosales Painting through Angi’s List and couldn’t be happier with the results. Jose provided a fair quote for painting our studio/garage and made the process effortless—I simply selected the paint color, and he handled the rest. The transformation was completed in just one day. The lead painter, also named Jose, was detail-oriented, meticulous, and courteous throughout the project. His professionalism and positive attitude made it clear he takes pride in his work. Our studio now looks sparkling clean and beautiful. I highly recommend Jose Rosales Painting and will definitely hire them for future projects. Thank you!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"

"We hired Rivera twice - first time was for painting nearly the entire interior of our house 4500+ sq ft (included walls, doors, trim, and ceilings which the previous owner had painted a very yellowish off white). Riveraâ s crew did an excellent job on that sizable job, so I hired them about a year later to paint the exterior of our home to update the brown to a lighter, more modern color. Both jobs were done within a reasonable budget, and timing was fine and as promised - the interior took a little extra time only because they ended up spending extra time to sand the doors (of previous dark brown oil paint that was being repainted bright white) so the new paint would adhere properly - the doors look fantastic and glossy.. I have recommended Tony to others several times, and I will hire them again when I have any future painting jobs."

"He was a lifesaver, I couldn't have done this without him. He was polite and did things beyond just painting, like if I had a problem with a plant needing to be trimmed to get to the wall he would do that. He hauled another tree away and replaced a side door as well."

"Glenn did a great job of painting several rooms in our house, much of which was covered with old wallpaper, so it wasn't easy. He is an excellent, experienced, efficient painter and has a good personality. His price was reasonable and much lower than other bids. We will be recommending him to our friends who require painting."

"Smooth as can be. Ramon and team arrived early AM, as scheduled, and went right to work. Project involved concrete prep, several coats of stain and then sealer. It all happened over 2 days and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I am considering doing my back patio, and will definitely use Ramon Reyes Painting again."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Palm Desert, 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.
