"We contracted King of the Painters to paint the exterior of our home in Clairemont after reading customer reviews about their services. We met with the companies owners who were very helpful in helping us select a new house paint color scheme. The workers were on time and cleaned up the work site each afternoon. We had a few issues with the job and called them to report the issues and they were very quick to come out to correct the discrepancies. We would recommend using them to anyone."

"Saul and his team did an excellent job pressure washing, stucco patching and masking to being kind enough to re-paint the accent color because I didn't like the contrast of the color I picked. They sanded our roll up garage doors and after painting they looked like new! They were very thorough and cleaned up everything when they left. Unlike some reviews I have read of other painting companies they did not leave paint all over our concrete or grass. Each night they stored all their gear and supplies neatly. They only use top quality products and take real pride in their work. Would totally hire them again!"

"Alex and his crew from Lions Painting, Inc. are fabulous! I can't say enough about the great work they do. In today’s world it is hard to find many workers with Alex’s work ethic, integrity, and pride of craftmanship. Alex possesses all three, and he is humble and very reasonably priced to boot! He is an incredibly hard worker, willingly goes the extra mile, and is very professional. His work is impeccable and he takes great pride in all he does. We initially hired him to paint the exterior siding of our condo complex, and we have since hired him to do the stucco patching and painting as well. Several homeowners hired him as well and rave about the great job he did with the interior painting of their units. I highly recommend Lions Painting, Inc. !! You won't be disappointed."

"After some negotiating I contracted to have some interior paint work done. The work was done any agreed-upon time and within the agreed-upon budget. Above and beyond the ease of communication, the work was excellent. I will definitely hire this team for future interior and exterior projects."

"I recently hired Rex Painting Inc. for a paint job, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was professional, on time, and paid great attention to detail. They did a fantastic job prepping, painting, and cleaning up afterward—everything looks clean and flawless."

"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."

"The company was responsive and always on time. I changed my mind at the last minute to go from staining to painting and Jordan and Angel were very accommodating. I love the way it looks. I would recommend this company and will use them again when needed."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Santee, 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.
