REDO Properties is the finest family owned residential and commercial painting company in Maine. We only use professional grade products and specialize in delivering superior finishes. We are the only REDO you'll ever need.

"We are thrilled with Redo Properties. We had to upgrade most of the interior of our house. Floors, windows and of course paint. We are so glad that we hired Redo Properties and Tux recommended that we include the ceilings. We did not originally think they needed to be done. The brightness the freshly painted ceilings brought to our entire interior was transformative. It made the ceilings feel much taller without the yellow halos that were showing before. He also was meticulous with the trim work and while the floors are great the new paint is what makes the renovations really stand out."

I have been painting on both paper and siding since I was child. I was decidedly better at one than the other, though I'm not going to say which. Since then, I have kept up with both skills for the majority of my life. Professionally, I have painted houses, both interior and exterior since I was a teenager and have recently decided run my own jobs. If hired, I will do my best in whatever painting capacity you need.

"Excellent and conscientious work. Meticulous and caring. Hire this fellow for any/all painting needs."

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

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.
