Whether it's troubleshooting complex issues or providing routine maintenance, we approach each task with precision and professionalism. Our goal is to build lasting relationships with clients based on trust, reliability, and exceptional service delivery. 15 Years Experience

"I first hired SD painting on the recommendation of my trusted plumber to fix and paint a crumbling ceiling after a water leak. They repaired and repainted the entire room, and I was very impressed with their prep work, attention to detail, cleaning after each day work, and beautiful results. I later hired them to paint over 20 wood windows and doors - again great prep and results. I was so pleased I hired them to paint my son's older house in Mira Mesa - not only did they have 6 colors to deal with, but they noticed and fixed a sagging ceiling and went into the attic and fixed it without charging extra! Since then they have also painted my daughter's café in Carlsbad, including a 1980's acoustic tile ceiling dark blue, installed wainscotting and painted all the interior walls. Samuel is a pleasure to deal with, extremely detail-oriented and a real pro. Yet his rates are very reasonable especially given the quality of his work. The best I have found in 40 years of owning homes!"

"I recently hired this company to resurface our concrete, remove the old cracks, add new concrete where needed, and finish everything with paint and sealant. They did an amazing job!

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