"Excellent Work and Outstanding Service! I found Jose Rosales Painting through Angi’s List and couldn’t be happier with the results. Jose provided a fair quote for painting our studio/garage and made the process effortless—I simply selected the paint color, and he handled the rest. The transformation was completed in just one day. The lead painter, also named Jose, was detail-oriented, meticulous, and courteous throughout the project. His professionalism and positive attitude made it clear he takes pride in his work. Our studio now looks sparkling clean and beautiful. I highly recommend Jose Rosales Painting and will definitely hire them for future projects. Thank you!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"

"I cannot say enough good things about Paul and his painting crew. From start to finish, they were professional, punctual, and incredibly detail-oriented. They showed up on time every single day, worked hard, and treated our home with real respect. Their prep work was thorough — they protected floors, furniture, and landscaping carefully, which told me right away they take pride in what they do. The lines are crisp, the coverage is even, and the finished product looks absolutely beautiful. You can tell they don’t cut corners. They do it the right way. Claire communicated clearly throughout the project, answered all of my questions, and made sure I was happy before wrapping up. They cleaned up completely at the end of each day, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. It’s hard to find crews who still believe in quality craftsmanship and honest work, but this team delivers. Benjamin and Tino, I would hire them again without hesitation and highly recommend them. Top notch!"

"I initially hired Perez Painting to paint my foyer. Jorge and Oscar took the job seriously and did a great job even though it was a small job. At the conclusion, I asked for a quote to paint the exterior of my house and detached garage. The price was so reasonable I hired them on the spot. They started right away and worked steadily till they finished. They did a great job. I will definitely use them for any other painting I need done."

"Espinosa Painting did a fantastic job! We would recommend them to anyone looking to have their home painted! The owner Omar came to look at the job on Sunday, even though it was a Super Bowl! And gave us a quote for the job that night. Their estimate was more than fair and they started on the job a few days later. They sent three workers, one was Omar son who was so knowledgeable and professional. I can’t say enough good things about this company, was so happy that you recommended them!"

"I strongly recommend avoiding Budget Painting (Todd and his sons). The work was careless and the finish quality is unacceptable. There are clear uneven lines, paint bleed on ceilings/trim, and visible sloppiness throughout multiple areas. I provided the paint and the areas were ready, so this should have been straightforward. Instead, the workmanship and attention to detail were poor and the final result did not meet basic expectations for a paid paint job. It?s obvious the job was rushed to move on to the next project. This created more work for me after paying for a service that should have been done correctly the first time. If you want clean, professional painting results, do not hire this company. And honestly, Angi/Angie?s List should be more careful about who they recommend or allow on their platform, because this experience was a waste of time and money."

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