"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."

"Oscar Vico Painting proved to be as outstanding, in every way, as his reviews and reputation posted on line would indicate. His job for me included walls (some with wallpaper stripping and skim coating required) originally stained doors, both paneled and louvered (with frames, molding and baseboards), and a papered stairwell with a high half-wall, the final motivation that led me to a Pro. I will be forever grateful that Pro was Oscar Vico. Skilled and adept with the actual prep and painting, his efficient organizing and planning for every step was equally impressive. He always knew how to end the day at a logical break point, as he cruised to the finish line. His array of tools (including a kind of telescoping ladder that made short work of my stairway ceiling) was dazzling. Ive done plenty of indoor and outdoor painting in my life, proud of my own skills and knowledge, but not close to Oscars level. His choice for paint and stain aligns perfectly with what I know to be the best in those categories; just one of the many reasons I will be using Oscar to repaint and stain my homes exterior, just as soon as his busy schedule allows. Thank you Oscar Vico!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Princeton, MA

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.
