"I had a great experience working with Luis from Oros Lucas Painting. He responded promptly, showed up on time and was very straightforward with his bid. I was extremely impressed on the amount of help he had onsite. His crew took very careful care of my surround items. I am thrilled with the outcome of my freshly painted kitchen and bathroom cabinets. He exceed expectations getting the job done before my timeline as well. 10/10 I would recommend Oros Lucas Painting and look forward to working together on another project soon."

"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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"

"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."

"Craig and his staff were professional, on-time and completed the job on schedule as discussed. My home was hydro sprayed, masked off, scrapped, primed and painted. When the job was complete Craig and his staff cleaned up the project. This company has a contractors license that can be verified on the State Contractors License Board site, not all painters on Angie's list have a contractors license, buyer beware. I would hire this company 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.
