"Timely quote given. Project scheduled a few weeks later. Unfortunately will require some touch up painting but they left matching paint thankfully, otherwise would have been higher rating."

"We cannot say enough good things about Nick. He replaced all of our exterior trim and it looks incredible. It was a huge project and Nick did not disappoint! Nick and Marshall are both so kind, hard working, detail oriented and a pleasure to work with. They gave us updates every day and were very transparent about their progress along the way. We cannot wait to have NP Carpentry back for a future project!"

"Wellington helped bring a new life to our main bedroom. The 4 decade old window trim looks fresh from the factory and his attention to detail is peerless. Best of all, he did it all in one day! Thanks again"

Mitchel Britos and crew were extremely knowledgeable precise and very professional. Outstanding job. Will definately hire for future projects."

Customers say: Quality work

"We hired Bill to paint our house, but we got much more than just a paint job. We had done very little work on the exterior of our house and outbuilding in the 20 years we have lived here, and there was a lot to fix: rot, pests, and more. Bill not only paints, but does roofing, gutters, replaces windows and doors, and does electrical work. He is not only competent but caring. His cleanup job went far beyond our expectations. We would hire him again in a flash, and probably will!."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Portsmouth, NH

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.
