"We recently hired Four Seasons Painting to paint our 2 story commercial building because we saw the quality of their work on our neighbor's building. It was a wonderful experience. Prior to that, we have not had very good experience with painters. Jorge was such a delight to work with. He was attentive, thorough, gave good advice and suggestions on the type of paint. He was flexible, easy going and very easy to work with. His team led by Cesar was professional, punctual and kept the work area clean. The painting was done on time and they even helped us clean our upper floor windows. The building looks great and we have received many compliments on the paint job. We will definitely hire them again for our future paint jobs. Thank You, Jorge."

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