Customers say: Quality work

"When you hire someone to work on your home, you need them to have two critical qualities: 1 - They must be highly skilled at their craft. 2 - They must be someone you can trust—around your family, your property, and your time. Saul and his crew check both boxes without question. His work is excellent—detailed, precise, and clearly done by someone who takes pride in their craft. He doesn't cut corners, he doesn’t rush jobs, and he never sacrifices quality. On top of that, Saul is reliable, communicative, and true to his word. His pricing is fair, his timeline was accurate, and he kept every promise he made. He showed up on time, worked hard every day, and made sure everything was done right. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your home with care and deliver outstanding results, Saul is exactly who you want."

"I am thrilled to have found Marcelo with American Painting Company. I was in desperate need of a painter to paint my rental condo in order to get it ready for my new tenants. Marcelo responded to my request immediately and was able to start the very next week. I worked side by side with Marcelo while he painted and I worked on the repairs. He is very pleasant, attentive to detail and did a fabulous job. I highly recommend American Painting and will definitely be using Marcelo for my other properties."

"We hired Wesley, WG Painting, to paint our kitchen cabinets and walls. Wesley was very professional. He arrived on time daily, was meticulous with the details, and cared that we were happy with the results. Our kitchen has been transformed, and is beautiful. We have recommended him to friends, and recommend him to anyone seeking a professional, detail oriented painting contractor."

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