"Rob painted the hallway of our 4 storey condo, and also revarnished the much weathered front door. The entire project went so smoothly! Rob worked quickly, and neatly. The hallway looks fantastic. The entire job went so well, I asked him to paint our living room next!"

"In all our years of painting / staining, we have always had issues with the work that was done. NOT THIS TIME!!! Rich from R A P KNOWS his stuff and does an EXCELLENT job! The staff he brought along with him were extremely polite! Everyone cleaned up after themselves. They all were extremely meticulous in the work that they did! My husband and I hold the bar very high for our expectations on work performed, and Rich and his staff beat the bar! We could NOT be happier! Price was reasonable and we will DEFINITELY be hiring Rich again! A true pleasure to work with! No more anxiety in hiring a painter! Feels great to find the diamond in the rough!! Thanks again Rich! Speak with you in the Fall! Enjoy your summer!"

"Contracted Eric to paint my kitchen cabinets he did a wonderful job however one of the doors had to be replaced, I ordered a new door then messaged Eric to come complete the project. He has not responded. I paid in full however Eric wanted an additional $350 to come back to paint and install cabinet door which I agreed to . I have sent emails but get no response. Lesson learned do mot pay in full until project is completed."

"I have never utilized a painter like Marlene! She and her partner did an absolutely perfect job. Ha, we are not related but I am proud to have worked with her. She handled every room with perfection. Everything carefully covered with no paint spatter. Prior to departing every evening, she walked around the house and checked all her work. One night she packed up her truck, returned to do an inspection snd found one place where the paint was slightly missing. She WENT BACK TO HER TRUCK, brought back her supplies and repaired the one bad spot and reloaded her truck. How many painters would fo that? I highly recommend her. You can not go wrong hiring here."

"Kris Winiarski Painting will be our choice for any future work we need done. We set up a time for Kris to come look at what we needed (pool deck cleaning and staining and painting of two interior rooms) and he was right on time both for the review and his submission of an estimate. Kris's estimate was right in line with other estimates received but what sealed the deal was his knowledge of what needed to be done, how to do it and the materials to use. Kris was on time each day, neat and exhibited a great work ethic. Would we hire KW Painting again? - We where very pleased with all the work Kris did therefore the answer is YES without a doubt. 5 STAR professional."

"My parents and I live in a old brick apartment building in Hoboken that is from the 1880s. The bathroom in our apartment had not been updated since the 1940s. We needed help ASAP. We checked out Cesar s page and wanted to hire him immediately. The reviews speak for themselves. When he came into our apartment to give us a quote we knew that this was contractor we needed to get the job done. Cesar is affordable, friendly, and very accommodating to any issues or concerns you have before starting the project. Two massive issues with our project were that my dad has spinal & walking issues, so we needed the floors clear of all tools and materials at the end of the each day so that father could walk efficiently through the apartment. The other big issue was that we only have 1 bathroom, so Cesar agreed to work with us on pulling the toilet off and on as every day finished so that we did not have to leave our building to use the toilet. Him and his crew are the best and take pride in their work so that owner is happy with the final result. We brought the bathroom down to the bare bones and rebuilt it back up. I worked with him every step of the way to make sure that he needed all materials to get the job done in the time we needed. This project was an intense remodel with some of the hardest demo and substrate materials that an old bathroom can have. He didn t think anything of it. He has veteran experience in the field and this remodel only took 3 weeks. We are very impressed with Cesar s craftsmanship and professionalism and we will be hiring him again for any future interior projects."

"I came to the link to share it with a friend who is looking for a contractor because I wanted to recommend her to Joseph and Sons and realized I have not written my review yet. I know is a late review though the feeling is the same :) I met with Angelo in the winter of 2019 - a tree had fallen over our roof, we had damage in different areas of the house including the deck. I will make it efficient for you guys; 1. They worked around my budget and went above and beyond 2. They cleaned up after themselves every time 3. Staff was extremely respectful. No music, or Loud conversations and absolutely nice. We enjoyed getting coffee for them and sweets for late afternoon snacks. 4. They will get the job done the way you have imagined it, not the way they think is best. 5. Angelo understands your needs and will help you get as much load off your shoulders as possible. 6. Clean finishes. Sharp paint skills. Detailed focused. 7. Angelo understands how the HOI works, and all the possible ways things could end up working out, so we were always prepared and the job came to finish under the full given budget by the HOI co. 7. I hired him for a few other things at home. 8. They did; new roof, full master bath reno, master wall, second bath ceiling, guest room wall+ceiling, kids room wall + ceiling, second-floor whole-way ceiling, kitchen ceiling, deck reno + pain, AC repairs, paint outside and inside, gutters. They are truly awesome, it was a blessing from heaven having them to help us deal with so much stuff. If I have more projects to do at home I will be calling Angelo again."

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