Incredibly detailed interior and exterior painting for a competitive price. Palafox Drywall & Painting was founded in 1998 by Ruben Palafox and since then we have seen prodigious growth in overall customer satisfaction. We are driven by each positive experience and will do what many will not to ensure satisfaction.

"Joel and his team did a great job painting the entire interior of our home, including the ceiling along with some drywall repairs. Detail-oriented with good communication throughout the process. Fair pricing and adherence to a standard weekday work schedule made planning easy. Focus on quality over speed with a small team meant a few more days but ended with a great paint job that we were very happy with."

"Ramon Reyes (R & R Painting) painted our house in October 2025 and did a fantastic job. We could not believe the meticulous prep work the crew did before they started painting. The crew pressure washed the entire house and repaired all the cracks and damage to the stucco. All our patios, sidewalks, driveway and plants were covered in plastic sheeting. We have never seen a painting company that took the time to make sure paint didn’t get on anything. We were also impressed with his crew of four. They were friendly, courteous and did a fantastic job. It took about four and a half days to complete the job. The crew showed up on time and never missed a day. We also thought the price Ramon quoted was fair and far below what we expected. He really does give you a fair price. So, we recommend R & R Painting very highly and we cannot say enough about the quality of work. When we decide to paint the interior of the house, we will hire R and R 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.
