"I am thrilled to have found Marcelo with American Painting Company. I was in desperate need of a painter to paint my rental condo in order to get it ready for my new tenants. Marcelo responded to my request immediately and was able to start the very next week. I worked side by side with Marcelo while he painted and I worked on the repairs. He is very pleasant, attentive to detail and did a fabulous job. I highly recommend American Painting and will definitely be using Marcelo for my other properties."

"*** BEWARE*** We had a very disappointing experience with Craftsman Home Builders. Their salesman used high-pressure tactics, even coming back to our home after we had already said no, and kept lowering the price until we felt pressured and overwhelmed. price was still much higher then the company we decided to go with . We decided to cancel the roofing contract on July 30th, which was well within the cancellation period. However, as of today, the company has not returned our deposit and has given us no communication about when we will receive it. This is not how a professional company should treat customers. We are still waiting for our money to be returned."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Poway, 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.
