"I needed my wood carriage type garage door and 30 feet of cedar fence refinished and stained after 9 years of wear. I also needed the wood trim around the house repainted. It was hard for me to find a painter who would take on this relatively small job. Previous businesses I contacted even through Angies List either weren't interested in the size of the job or wanted to paint the garage door rather than stain it. Detail Pro Painting understood what I wanted and made it happen. Their attention to detail for both the prep work as well as the actual staining were quite superb. They power washed, bleached, sanded where needed and masked off the adjoining areas very meticulously. There was no "overspray" or bleed when they were done. I am really very happy with the job they did. Manny the owner communicated well and understood what I desired. I believe that this company takes pride in their quality and does not charge extra for it!"

"Adam from G.Z.L. Painting was the only contact who identified himself by name (great when receiving multiple texts from various contacts). Adam's pricing was competitive and he did not give the impression that the job was too small for consideration. He was polite, friendly, professional, and did an amazing job! We needed an area painted that included split stairs with high ceilings, AND a window area. We are very pleased with his work, and have asked him to do another job. My husband and I would highly recommend Adam to others."

"I had inquired about living room/hallway and kitchen painting and Fernando was super quick and detailed when providing an estimate. The job was also completed within a pretty tight time frame but with amazing results! I now recommend this business to anyone who needs a small or big job done at home!"

"The price was reasonable, and the job they did on the outside of our house + a large pergola was fantastic. Three full days to prep for the painting [the house is a large two story house] including powerwashing, filling in all the lines and cracks in the stucco et al. I was here to watch it all and I was VERY impressed. The crew that was here worked very well together and were always cognizant of taking care of the shrubbery. Lots of windows and trim, which were beautifully done. Great communication with us throughout the project. I would hire them again."

"I had the pleasure of working with Fernando and his team at The Precise Touch Painting, and I can t recommend them enough! They recently painted my kitchen cabinets, and the level of craftsmanship was outstanding. Fernando and his crew are incredibly meticulous, detail-oriented, and truly care about the quality of their work. They paid attention to every little detail and made sure everything was done to perfection. It s rare to find professionals who take this much pride in their craft! They went above and beyond in so many aspects of the job from preparation to clean-up, everything was handled with care and professionalism. I'll absolutely be using them for any future painting projects. If you're looking for top-quality work and a team you can trust, don t hesitate to hire The Precise Touch Painting. Highly recommend!"

"Great! Darwin and his crew painted almost the whole interior of our house and stained the floors we had sanded, to get it ready for sale. It was done quickly and well. No missed spots, drips, etc. They cleaned up too and covered or masked areas not to be painted. Our schedule changed a lot and they were flexible, holding off when we needed them to, for other contractors to work, but when called in again came right away and did their work. Darwin kept in touch daily and often texted me photos so I could see the progress, Our buyers wanted input on the color and gloss of the floor stain and he worked with them to get it the way they wanted but stay in our budget . Afterward he came back and did some minor fixes the other contractor never got to and hauled away way the trash the other contractor left behind. We were up against closing date and I really appreciated his attitude. He told me he would do whatever needed to help us get the house ready for the buyers. Great communication, professional work and super helpful! I would definitely hire him again."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in San Jose, 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.
