"listened to questions and ideas that i had, offered info on colors and took into consideration what effect i was trying to achieve and gave advice that was very helpful (i found choosing paint colors overwhelming - they were significant in narrowing down colors to achieve what i wanted, not just what they thought). they didn't make me feel rushed or pressured for decisions needed. they accommodated me in last minute changes for paint color, even in the morning before they were coming over to paint. i especially appreciated having the cracks, nail pops and other minor holes plastered and sanded prior to painting. that was a plus (as opposed to just painting over those types of imperfections). willingness to move furniture before and afterwards was an important thing to me. personable and professional (almost rare to have with any businesses now a days). overall not only good workers who took their time, but also did beautiful job. want to mention that not only did they take care of painting (ceiling, walls, doors, crown molding) but they put up 2 ceiling medallions (they had to take down 1 ceiling chandelier for one of the medallions and put up a new light fixture/chandelier for the 2nd medallion). look forward to having them do more painting and other jobs in the near future. found them comfortable to work with"

"We are extremely pleased by the professional construction work that Jim Mangino of American Builders and Constructors, LLC has made to our house. He has performed some impressive work to our old house in some difficult remodeling situations. He was willing to communicate with us in a helpful, professional manner, he cares about superior and excellent craftsmanship, and the finished result shows it. His work was completed to our satisfaction, and he was concerned about satisfying our remodeling objectives. Jim is a skillful carpenter who is reliable and competent. His handy work and offered suggestions were necessary by accommodating us so that the construction work is finished as requested. We highly recommend Jim for various indoor and outdoor construction and repairs. We look forward to continuing his assistance for additional remodeling projects."

"Work went smoothly and professionally. I appreciated the drywall work so much that when I found out they did painting I hired them for that too. Multiple years of experience was a plus."

"The first time it was $21,000, then we had them do some additional...they gave us an estimate, I think of around $6000 and honestly we haven't paid them because they haven't finished. They seemed very professional. I thought they would do an excellent job. They could match our color scheme. This is in a company that is warranted, life time paint, never have to paint again and if we do, we'll come out time and time again to do it. So the idea was great and we had been having to paint the brand new home every year. We were tired of that and they seemed like they could do a great job and the product seemed very good. We had them paint it the first time and we had room additions added and they painted that. It seemed very good and very professional. They painted some things that they shouldn't have like the windows, so it is hard to close them. Overall they did a decent job but then the last time they came out to do some repair work, they actually did some construction in addition to the painting and then they didn't match the paint colors correctly. They didn't finish the repair work, where they thought they might have finished it, it wasn't as it was before architecturally, aesthetically pleasing anymore. I had a punch out list and I said, this is all the punch out list that needs to be addressed. They said something about, okay they'll take care of it but they never scheduled a time or place to review the punch out list or to schedule to get them fixed. We have been calling and they've not been returning our calls. We thought they were out of business actually. Then last year all of our windows sills rotted and again, with the paint that wouldn't have happened. We replaced all of our windows. The window company actually reached out to Hoosier Permanent Coatings  and they are still in business as you probably found them in your system. They said well because we didn't pay them that last amount our, warranty is null and void. So we've been trying to call them, we leave messages and they don't call us back. If we talked to them maybe this thing can be settled."

"We had used Legacy previously for windows and we called them about our kitchen project. Mark came back out and we discussed the goals we wanted and what our budget was.I showed Mark online the things we liked and he came back with a proposal that was workable. Legacy is not a huge company and we always spoke with Mark when we had questions. That was nice. The project was involved. In addition to the kitchen needing a new floor, fixtures, counter tops and cabinets, we cut a hole in the side of the house and put a large window there. More light in the kitchen is fantastic! The project took more than 2 months from start to finish. It was a little longer than we anticipated but we understood. Legacy has talented carpenters but not a lot of them. Mark and Robert both told us it would be nice and that can take a little time. They were right. The attention to detail was awesome. And as the project unfolded we did make small changes on the fly. Those were a difference maker. we love our new kitchen and we look forward to getting our master bath done next by Legacy. If you're considering a project, call these guys, nice people, easy to work with and the results have been great."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Portland, IN

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.
