"They painted the ceiling and walls in open kitchen and den with two coats of paint. These rooms have stain wood trim. Very nice painting without getting paint on trim. They covered all furniture, appliances,counters, doors, windows, and floors to protect from any paint splatter. Professional workers and job. Would definitely hire again."

"After initially interviewing Caridi Painting and Finishing, I felt that the two partners were very knowledgeable and experienced in painting a 6' fence of which 60' was installed 3 1/2 months ago and another 40' that was installed 6 years ago. The HOA that I belong to, requires a specific "paint" which really turned out to be a stain, that had to be used. Even before I informed Caridi partners what was required they indicated that a stain would be best, that it would require 2 coats, and a couple of specific items, such as what would be sprayed and what would be painted with a brush. Due to the "good" weather (no painting/staining within 2/3 days of rain), they showed up on time, immediately put cardboard under the fence where there was grass, taped what was metal (the latch) and proceeded to "paint." Overall, the job was done professionally and I would rate Caridi a 10 (on a scale of 10)."

"Our experience with Professionals Painting actually exceeded the fantastic reviews I'd read about them prior to hiring them!! While that sounds unbelievable, it's absolutely true! From our first visit from Jose when he came to our home to provide an estimate, until the day his team completed the work, Professionals Painting was everything you'd ever want from a contractor doing work on your home -- they were always prompt (arrived exactly when they said they would); their quality of work was absolutely top-notch (best paint job we've had in 40 years of home-ownership); their pricing was excellent (lowest bid of 4 different contractors selected from our review of Angie's List providers in our area); they were completely trustworthy (we ended up giving Jose the code to our smart locks -- they came and went as needed...never felt even slightly compelled to be there with them); they were consummate professionals; and most importantly, they were wonderful people (those you'd love to have as your in-laws or nextdoor neighbors). We actually added some additional tasks (more than outlined in the original bid) after Jose & his team started their work. While this was unexpected, Jose was happy to help out and provided very fair pricing for the additional work. When the entire job was completed, we actually ended up paying Jose additional money -- a bonus -- because of the tremendous work they'd done and because Jose had to juggle his schedule around to accommodate our additional requests. As some other Angie's List reviewers have noted, Jose's team doesn't necessarily speak fluent English. They're all obviously very intelligent, but some hurdles were sometimes necessary to overcome the communication barrier. But Jose is very fluent, so there were never any real issues. Bottom line, I would absolutely hire Professionals Painting again, and would give my highest recommendation and endorsement to family, friends and fellow Angie's List subscribers. Jose, Geraldo, and the rest of his team are fantastic!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Startex, SC

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.
