"I am the Construction Project Manager for the Chumash enterprise renovating The Hadsted Motel (Hilton). New Generation Painting did a amazing job on this project. I will use them on every project I have. They all so do many other phases of construction with great precision and quality and stay on schedule."

"Russell from Sunset Painting was so phenomenal to work with. He’s super professional but also easy to talk to and his work ethic is next-level. We hired him to repaint the entire inside of our 1500 sqft home and garage and he did it all in just under two weeks, faster than I was expecting and to a standard that was frankly impressive. He was very transparent about the cost, timeframe, and materials from the start and went out of his way to make sure we were happy with everything. He has a very can-do attitude and was responsive throughout the process when we brought things up. Our space feels so wonderfully new and more ours after he finished with it. We will definitely be hiring him again to do the outside of our house."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in San Luis Obispo, 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.
