"Scott painted all the interior walls in our new house, he patched and painted the garage and made it so much nicer, he painted our kitchen cabinets, which turned out beautiful and saved us so much money compared to refacing, and he also painted a tricky accent wall covered with reclaimed wood after patching it, and that changed from a weird problem to an elegant feature of the house. All these projects were expertly done on time while I was away, and his estimates for each were accurate and lower than those of his competitors. When I have other projects I will go straight to him."

"Fernando did a great job removing the wallpaper that we had on just one wall and then painted it eggshell. I would definitely hire Fernando again when we have another project. He was so professional and very nice. If you need any painting or wallpaper removal , Fernando is the best. Here are three photos ..The wallpaper on one wall which he removed and then the final wall was completely finished with eggshell paint with primer. I love it❤️.. He absolutely did a fantastic job!!!"

"Ivan is great to work with. He is personable and asks the right questions to make sure you will get the end product you want. He painted our entire exterior and made sure the trim details were exactly how I wanted. He also did a great job painting our kitchen cabinets. "

"Juan Urbina did a horrid job on my fireplace surround first with inability to paint around the mantel and when that was apparent added inappropriate caulking which made the situation even worse. He kept trying different approaches, none of which worked. He seemed to be in over his head in a simple paint job. Told me that he was not licensed but that he and his cousins all worked under an uncles license! He has been unresponsive, unprofessional as well as inept. Beware that he could make a simple project worse rather than better"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Santa Clara, 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.
