Customers say: Quick response

"I got a response from Brian within about 2 days. He and his counterpart, Larry, came over and evaluated our home's needs. Brian explained the process and gave me an estimate for the work that they felt needed to be done. Brian emailed me the prices and the work that they would do. I felt informed and was treated with complete respect and courtesy (Note: this was important to me because folks in the building field have often been patronizing and rude to me. I have attributed it to my gender after watching them be more appropriate with my husband.) When I was ready they were here within about another 2 days. My house now looks almost new and we are very pleased! I had received estimates from about 4 or 5 other companies, prior to this, and their estimates were 2 to 6 times what Adobe Painting quoted me. This and the fact that the Angie's list rating for Adobe was A+ persuaded me to hire them. I'm glad that I did!"

"Harald is a highly experienced professional painter. He is meticulous in his prep work. He knows paint and is a valuable consult on colors and textures. He asked very little prep of me-- to simply remove wall hangings. He worked two full days and finished the project very efficiently. When he was done, the house looked super clean and tidy. Best of all the paint job was glorious. No brush strokes--it looked perfect. Harald is truly an artisan and a thoughtful kind person."

"I reached to Joseph from Angie's list, and he called me back immediately. He provided a quote for a fence repair and clean up my backyard and front yards. I just moved to Albuquerque two years ago, and I was embarrassed to be that neighbor with the unkempt yard, and the fence was damaged by termites and wind. Well, now I have a beautiful backyard again and with good advice how to keep it that way! Looking forward to working with Joseph on my other home issues. They are so thorough with small touches like blowing out leaves and dirt making the area look pristine. I am so thankful I found a local business with such integrity!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Santa Fe, NM

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.
