"Julio gave me a very fair quote for a redo on my garage. He was present at the beginning and end of each day. David put up new cabinets and moved others. Added built in in shelving. Everything very professional and just as needed. Rafael came on the second day and painted walls and cabinets. A beautiful job. The 2-day job was completed on time and I love it. I warmly recommend Julio and his team. Everyone easy to work with, pleasant, and efficient. "

"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 was very accommodating and easy to work with, as a family of four were living in the house as its interior was painted. He and his crew did an excellent job and handled everything smoothly and professionally. They are very punctual as well. I cannot say enough good things about FST painting, and would gladly hire them again."

"Luis did a fantastic job. I needed a custom built in bookcase painted. When he came for the initial consultation he walked me through his process, showed me exactly what he was going to do and actually cleaned up and improved some of the details that the carpenters were not attentive to. He also painted 4 cabinet doors for other parts of my home as well. Great to work with!"

"Alex is a professional painter. He arrived on time, gave us an estimate. He also was able to install insulation in several walls, installing sheet rock, texturing the surfaces then painting. The project was just completed and it really looks great. I will definitely call Alex again the next time we need additional painting work done."

"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. "

"Wonderful! From the estimate of our job, paint choices, to the completion of our work. Communication was clear, job completed in a timely manner, the crew was exceptional, polite, courteous and good work ethic. (We lived in our home while the job was being completed and the crew respected us and our home.) The pricing was very competitive and we would use Diaz Professional Painting for all future painting needs. We highly recommend Felipe and his crew!"

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