"My 89 year old dad hired John and his sons to paint his house in La Vernia and they did a great job. John met me out their so that we could discuss what needed to be done and he made a few suggestions on how to save my dad some money. He started the project when he said he would and showed up every day until he finished. He even met me out there the following day, to do a walk around to make sure I was also happy with the work. I never felt like John or his sons were going to take advantage of my dad. Thanks John. The next time I get my house painted I will contact John Normile."

"JTP did a great job!! They were polite, friendly, worked efficiently and neatly. They brought all of the supplies needed and cleaned up after first day so they were ready to start when they got there the next day. Put the room back together when job was finished. Looked so great! Job was completed as promised and price was fair. I would recommend them to friends and use them again if needed another area painted."

"Harrison and his crew exceeded my expectations! They extensively prepped our house including covering all surfaces that should not be painted, and caulking all the seams before painting. I was nervous about getting the exterior of our home painted, but was so pleased with the final result! Harrison made sure the job was completed smoothly and quickly. Thanks for a job well done!"

"I put in a request for a painter to paint my garage door, Jeff Hawkin with Texas Painting Company texted within minutes. He quoted a reasonable price, said he could do it the next day, and did just that. The work was great! I like a company who communicates quickly, efficiently, and completes the job quickly! My kind of project!"

"Amanda was great! Had a major crack in the kitchen window from either hail or a rock that spread really quickly. She replaced it, and you can’t tell anything ever happened! Very precise and takes her time which I appreciate."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in San Marcos, TX

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.
