"I can't say enough about how great our experience with Target Painting was. They were professional, courteous and on time. They did an excellent job painting the exterior of our house with attention to detail. Once completed, they did a walk through around the house with us to make sure nothing was missed and that we were totally satisfied. They really cared about the work and made sure we were happy with the job. We would highly recommend Target for any painting projects. We will definitely use them again for any interior painting we may need done."

"This is the third time I hired Erivan to paint. Exterior or interior—he is exceptional. Working with just one other person, Erivan always arrives on time, cleans up the space at the end of the day, and does outstanding work. Communication is easy, and I am never disappointed with the results. Highly recommend."

"The quality and professionalism was top notch. They prepped and painted my new four season room that had a lot of wood detail. Peter sent three painters to ensure the job got completed in one day. I'm planning my next home improvement project with Peter and his team."

"Work was performed exactly as discussed and agreed to (match existing paint colors) at estimated cost. Start was delayed at our request due to high heat and humidity, with no complaints. Work was further delayed through no fault of Arch Painting due to continuous wet weather. Once a good weather window finally occurred, the work was performed quickly with no impact on us. We were totally satisfied with the quality of the work and the finished product."

"Fernando and his team did an awesome job from start to finish. He was communicative throughout the project and really went above and beyond! I was so impressed I already referred him to my brother to have his house painted. Professional work by a really dedicated team. Thanks!"

"They were very professional. They showed up when they said they would. The front and back stairs look fantastic. They even painted the sides of the back exterior stairs which wasn’t included in estimate. Would definitely use them again!"

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