"Fantastic. The were at my house on time every day. The project looks amazing. The walls had old rice paper wall paper under the paper they removed. The rice paper was painted over many time. They skim coated all the wall in the house until they were completely smooth, prepped them and painted them. The rooms look totally different. I would recommend them highly to anyone."

"The work was good, thorough, looks good on the work, but paints started chipping off on the chimney about a year and a half ago and a little over a year ago in 2019, the blue paint on the French door was bubbling up."

"It all went amazingly. First, Francisco got back to me very quickly and came to give a bid very quickly. His price was very competitive and of the several bids we got he was the only one who was able and willing to do everything we needed without hemming and hawing about it. (Patching holes and doing some repair on a doorframe that rotted.) That was all included in the price. His guys were great. Basically once I said yes and paid the deposit, I didn’t have to do or think about anything. Even when the weather was a bit crazy Francisco was very communicative about when they’d be back, and they were. I didn’t remember if we had discussed a few windows, and some areas that needed extra attention after the project was done. They were dealt with asap, at no extra charge. He gave me tips on keeping it nice, and gave some extra paint for when the kids (and probably me) inevitably mess up the brand new paint. I also like that he and his wife both have small businesses in philly. I would highly recommend New Era Pro for exterior painting projects. I would use them again for sure, but because of the quality products and quality of work, hopefully I won’t have to!"

"We have double ornate wood doors that were really damaged over 25+ years. I was worried that the finish was so worn away that the doors would swell and we would have difficulty using them. I called Boss Citca and received a prompt reply and estimate. We are completely thrilled with the work that was done! Angel and Marie took off the finish down to the raw wood (a huge job), removed all of the brass hardware, then restained and polyurethaned them. The stain we chose with Angel’s help is beautiful; the match is perfect. The doors now look brand new! I cannot say enough good things about the high level of expertise and the dedicated work effort involved. This was a seamless, successful job! I would like to stress that Boss Circa is such an absolute pleasure to deal with. They are professional and extremely skilled. I looked through some photos of prior work and I will definitely call Boss Circa back for any and all home projects; they do all kinds of construction, kitchen rehabs, etc"

"Fabiano and his team were great. They were very understanding about our anxious rescue dog and let us Introduce them to our dog before they began work. They were always on time or early and finished the project sooner than anticipated. There were a couple things we wanted fixed or adjusted when they finished and Fabiano fixed them no problem. The finished molding looks stunning. would definitely hire again!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Philadelphia, PA

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.
