"While house-sitting at a friends house that was just re-painted, I couldn’t help but look at the painting work that had just been done. The level of detail was incredible. The edges were sharp, crisp and straight. I was very impressed. She ended up giving me the number of Bob (The King of the Painters) Lyon. Bob came out and looked over my house. There was a lot of termite damage, the side garage door needed to be replaced and dry rot was prevalent throughout. Fascia, eaves and large beams were in bad shape. All had peeling paint. Bob has an amazing eye for colors. We settled on the color scheme and Bob even picked out the fabric we chose for the awning we had installed out front. After settling on a price (which was VERY reasonable) we set up the date for work to begin. On the day the crew arrived, the project manager (Mike) introduced me to his crew. Dennis Iloff, Jr. Lopez, Alvin Hernandez and last (but certainly not least) Ricardo “Rickey” Duenas. While Mike was tending to other jobs, Ricardo was my point man. He asked all the right questions, always informed me of what the tasks of the day were going to be and answered all my questions with a smile. This crew was thorough and they all seemed to be having fun while working very hard. I couldn’t be happier with the finished product. Bob Lyon is probably the nicest guy you’ll ever meet and his employees show it too. Give them a try. You will NOT be disappointed."

"Francisco and his team have done a marvelous job. The final result went well beyond our expectations! They painted the exterior of our two-story house and made small fixes on the wooden panels and trims. They have also done a few touch ups in the interiors. Their attention to details is exemplary and we really appreciated Francisco flexibility and ability to make adjustments on the fly to accommodate all of our requests. Additionally, his quote was one of the most competitive out of the four estimates we got. I highly recommend hiring Supremacy Painting for any painting job you may need!"

"THE ACTUAL PAINT JOB WAS EXCELLENT. THEY WERE A HARD WORKING CREW AND I BELIEVE THEY TOOK PRIDE IN THEIR WORK. I WOULD HAVE GIVEN A GRADE OF "A" FOR THE JOB EXCEPT THAT THERE WERE SIGNIFCANT SCHEDULING ISSUES DUE TO THE BOSS, AS WELL AS HIS OVERESTMATE OF OVER 2 GALLONS OF PAINT FOR THE JOB, THE PAINT WHICH I HAD TO SUPPLY. THAT MISTAKE COST BE AN ADDITIONAL $60, AND BECAUSE THE PAINT WAS CUSTOM COLOR , IT WAS NOT RETURNABLE. THEN THE ISSUE OF THE BOSS LOSING MY PAYMENT CHECK AND MY HAVING TO SUBMIT A STOP PAYMENT REQUEST TO MY BANK FURTHER DISAPPOINTED ME ABOUT THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE. BUT I WANT TO REPEAT, THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB ON THE ACTUAL PAINTING."

"I was really pleased with how well this project went. The estimate was very competitive. They were able to start the following week, and it took exactly the number of days they projected. The painters were very professional and expert in their craft. The house appearance is outstanding, and many neighbors have complimented the results. I will hire this company again when it comes time to paint the interior of the house in a few years."

"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."

"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."

"Well, what does one say when a diamond is found. As far as painting professional, Joe Asaro is that diamond. Several years ago, Joe painted by our stucco and wood trim on the entire home. The paint has held up incredibly on the stucco walls and wood fascia and I have not even considered touch up painting if it was not for the replacement tile roof installed a short time ago. With the tile installation, the new trim rake tiles where installed exposing more wood than before and therefore, Joe's services were necessary again. As always, Joe met me at my home, walked the site with me and promptly sent to my email his proposal and as prior, the price was very reasonable, especially for the workmanship that Joe provides. Joe is hard working and honest and the quality of work provided is proven by the lasting of time. Thanks again Joe for your professionalism and thoroughness and for consistently offering the a great product and service. Nick"

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.
