"I am very pleased we found Marioni painting. The price was competitive, they were very flexible with scheduling, and showed up on time. They painted a small bedroom, closet doors, trim and ceilings in ½ day. They had clean lines & were tidy workers not a single paint drip on my floors."

"Eric and his team were punctual, the showed up early, and gave an extremely reasonable estimate for the cost and timeframe to complete the job. They finished early and cleaned up the rooms to look better then when they started. The crew was friendly and informative throughout the entire project. Eric gave great insight into the process and gave tricks and tips moving forward. I will 100% be referring any individuals looking for a painter or handyman in the area. I canâ t say enough good things about the team and Eric himself. Truly a wonderful experience for me and my family. Most importantly the rooms look great and all patches were corrected to ensure a professional look. Cant wait to finally have people over to show off our new painted rooms."

"Very, very satisfied with this company. I hired Affordable Weaver Painting late last fall for the exterior painting of our large carriage house. Unfortunately, with all the non-stop rain and the onset of cold weather, the project got delayed until the spring. Despite these conditions out of his control, Wayne (owner of the company) honored the estimate that was provided in the fall and sent a crew out to tackle our project early this spring. The crew did an excellent job. They were attentive to detail and worked efficiently. We had a "surprise" squirrel next up in the fascia boards causing considerable damage. No worries: the guys removed the nests and repaired the board. We are very pleased with the work and would hire them again."

"Veyta installed six pairs of new shutters, and painted all the trim on the front of my house. They came when promised, were very professional, and completed the job timely and with high quality. The also were extremely neat and cleaned up completely when finished.. They are master painters and didnâ t leave any drips, brush or roller marks,, or unevenly painted surfaces. Their price was competitive and fair. I will definitely hire them again."

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

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.
