"We had a plumbing repair that left our walls damaged and in need of refinishing and a full repaint — right before Easter. Julio came out the same day, gave us a clear quote, and his crew got to work immediately. They even sourced the paint themselves, which saved us time we didn’t have. The quality of the work was excellent. Walls look flawless, and they left the space completely clean. Throughout the project, Julio was responsive and easy to communicate with — no chasing him down for updates. For a job this urgent, with guests arriving days later, having someone this reliable and professional was a genuine relief. Highly recommend without hesitation. We’ll be calling him again soon — our home’s exterior is next on the list."

"I loved working with Manny, the owner, and Adrian, his top notch lead painter. These two guys along with all of the other workers with Manny's company did fantastic work. I repainted both the outside and the inside of my house - basically a total refresh.. They really know their business and they did their work efficiently, promptly and with a great attitude and a 'we can do anything for you' spirit. I even had Adrian renovate my old storage shed. It used to be dirty and full of bugs and spiders. When Detail-Pro Painting was finished the shed looked so nice my wife claimed it for her study and prayer room. We placed new drywall on the ceiling and walls, installed baseboard and new luxury vinyl laminate flooring and then painted the interior a Kelly Moore Acoustic White. It now looks like a bran new studio apartment. Oh, and we even repainted the outside and places a bran new Owens-Corning asphalt-comp' shingle roof on top. It's literally beautiful and it's cute as anything. It looks like a little seaside cottage. I'd definitely hire Detail-Pro Painting again and I've already recommended them to my neighbors."

"Alex is a professional painter. He arrived on time, gave us an estimate. He also was able to install insulation in several walls, installing sheet rock, texturing the surfaces then painting. The project was just completed and it really looks great. I will definitely call Alex again the next time we need additional painting work done."

"Ivan is great to work with. He is personable and asks the right questions to make sure you will get the end product you want. He painted our entire exterior and made sure the trim details were exactly how I wanted. He also did a great job painting our kitchen cabinets. "

"We recently hired Urbinas to paint our front door and wouldn't recommend them. Ulysses came out to paint the door only to tell us that he wasn't able to paint a door that wasn't hung in the doorway and asked us to get our contractor to hang the door and install the hardware before painting. After having the door installed Ulysses and his father painted the door but forgot to paint the top and bottom of the door which voided our warranty with the door company. The door company came out and asked if we had hired someone who was licensed and bonded because the work didn't reflect someone who follows the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America standards. When we asked for a refund Ulysses blamed us saying we should have told him to paint the top and bottom and we are now left with a door that is now out of warranty and have to pay for another licensed and bonded painter to fix the mistake."

"Great communication, very nice contract, professional, lays out what he will do. We have a flat roofed home, and we wanted the Fascia/eaves painted. They did what they said they'd do. Nice people. Has 3-year warranty. Other people were really slow getting back to us even after inspecting. One party said our job was too small. Brambilas was just right. Inspected, quote, agreed, arrived, done in 2 days. "

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Portola Valley, 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.
