"Work was performed exactly as discussed and agreed to (match existing paint colors) at estimated cost. Start was delayed at our request due to high heat and humidity, with no complaints. Work was further delayed through no fault of Arch Painting due to continuous wet weather. Once a good weather window finally occurred, the work was performed quickly with no impact on us. We were totally satisfied with the quality of the work and the finished product."

"Osvaldo and his crew did a wonderful job on repainting/staining my deck! He was timely, very accommodating, reasonable, and very professional. When he came for an estimate on the deck showed us what additional things he could do with some issues with the deck. I definitely appreciated that and ultimately why I chose his services. He communicated when he would be there, issues with our old paint and our chosen paint, and he showed us his test paint areas from the old deck paint and how it contrasted with the new paints. He was very reasonable and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend his services and would approach him for interior work as well!"

"We hired Straight Line Epoxy & Painting to strip wallpaper and paint the interior of our home. One Word: OUTSTANDING The 5-star rating is well deserved. Quality of work was amazing-from the largest walls to the smallest trim spot, Mitchel and his team are outstanding painters, knowledgeable, courteous, great communicators, and are a pleasure to work with. The team truly went "above and beyond" on this job, including working late into the night/early morning to finish early for us. Mitchel is extremely knowledgeable, informative, and refreshingly enthusiastic! We will be hiring Straight Line Epoxy & Painting when it is time to paint the exterior!"

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.
