"I needed painting done by Mon. Called Sat evening and Jessie came out to give us an estimate. We gave him the go ahead and he was there Sun morning. We are selling our home and realtor planned photos for Tues. Needed this done to fix another painter's bad job in closet and pantry. Jessie & Rachel got it done and it looks great! Will hire them again for future projects! Very professional, cleaned up when finished, arrived on time!"

"John was fantastic. I requested a speciality Scandinavian look, and he met the chanllenge. He was more than willing to go thru mulitple steps in order to a achieve the look I was after and the results were everything I had hoped for. The floors are holding up great as well. Would highly recommend."

"Outstanding final product and customer service. I would hire again without hesitation. Their dedication and professionalism are unmatched. They completed a project I started a couple of years ago. Best choice I could have made. They're on time, flexible, and eager to make your home look new again. I was amazed at the transition from the contractors eggshell (from 2005) to the modern grays. Thank you and I appreciate all you've done!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in State College, PA

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.
