"The team of Bergers Painting including Bob, the owner and team of Marcelo, Martin and Jesus, the painters, was fantastic. Bob came out right away to give us an estimate and the timing was perfect because one of his jobs got pushed out a week or so due to other contractors so we were able to start the following week. Although the price seemed a little high ... the quality of the work was completely worth it. The prepping prior to painting was unbelievably good and the actual painting process was great. Everything was masked, taped and/or covered and no overspray occurred. The team was punctual, courteous and cleaned up every day prior to leaving. They replaced outdoor light fixtures and even attached a weathervane atop the cupola and the painting included painting stucco, cement siding, all doors, all window frames and sills, shutters, roof cupola, French door paneled sliding doors, gutters, eaves, fascias, 2 gates, garage door and all trim. The price included all paint and materials to complete the job perfectly. We can’t say enough good things about Bergers Painting and will use again when the time comes. We highly recommend this company and are so happy we found them on Angies List!!"

"Gustavo knows how to stain wood to perfection, and he s a very precise painter. He stained our 10x10, second story deck and a wood gate. I was worried stain might get splashed on the house, window, etc., but he taped, used drop cloths, and painted very neatly. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He took a day to clean and prep the deck, then waited a day to let it dry. Then he did the staining in one day. He arrived when he said he would, cleaned up the site afterward, and was very courteous. It was a pleasure to deal with such a professional. We will keep him in mind for any future painting/staining projects."

"We found Saul from Ortiz Quality Painting because we loved our neighbors recently painted home and he came highly recommended. Saul and his team arrived on site, on time every day. Saul kept me up to date on a daily basis about their progress. The job was finished as promised and on budget. We really enjoyed working with Saul and his team. They are hard working, professional and it was nice to have the owner on site all day. We would definitely hire them for future jobs."

"The Joses—Junior and Senior—along with the on-site manager, Elvis, took great care of us in painting our nearly 100 year old duplex home. They finished ahead of schedule and did a fantastic job following our more-complicated-than-usual historic painting plan. Our building looks so good that I have been asked by multiple neighbors who did the amazing paint job. I have referred all of them to Jose!"

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.
