"Our three-story Victorian needed exterior painting and repair work (siding, trim, porch), and as with many Victorians, had a lot of detail work. The team from North Shore did a fantastic job - they were thorough, fast for such a large project, and respectful of our property. The team's attention to detail was extraordinary - before the last day of work, we did a walk around to make note of the handful of items that we saw that we wanted to make sure got done. Without us even needing to mention those to the team, they addressed every single one as part of their final touch up process. This level of attention to detail is not something we have had from all contractors we have worked with. We would absolutely use North Shore again for future projects. Pricing was fair, but not cheap - that said, you get what you pay for and the quality speaks for itself."

"Timely quote given. Project scheduled a few weeks later. Unfortunately will require some touch up painting but they left matching paint thankfully, otherwise would have been higher rating."

"Great service and great communication from DL Painting. They run a very smooth operation with a very trustworthy crew, they stayed painting in my house while I was at work with no issues and treated everything with respect. I had a small issue on the project that they worked quickly to fix and resolve. I would highly recommend this team for your next project."

"Rafael and his crew did a great job. They worked long days to get the job done quickly and they did a great job painting the entire interior of my home, plus they painted and stained my stairs. Rafael kept me posted throughout the process and he was knowledge and helpful with questions. I highly recommend."

"My experience with Miguel and ML painting was great! I hired MLPainting to paint the exterior of my home in Cambridge last summer and Miguel and his crew did an excellent job! They worked very hard, didnâ  t rush through the job, and always paid attention to detail. They also cleaned up very well at the end of the day which I really appreciated. I can highly recommend ML Painting to anyone who needs either interior or exterior painting. In fact, I hope to use ML Painting again this summer."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Somerville, MA

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.
