"Alencar and his team did an amazing job with painting the exterior of our home. They went above and beyond to make our house look beautiful. They did a lot of small, extra things at no additional cost and were on top of any requests we made. The carpentry and painting team were extremely respectful, attentive and diligent in their work and the job was completed within the expected timeline. The price we agreed upon in the contract is what it all ended up costing. Highly recommend Alencar and his team! Great job at a great price."

"Leone and his team knocked our project out of the park. From the beginning Leone was quick with communication and on painting day, his team was punctual, neat and professional. We're very happy with the result which dramatically improved the exterior of our home. I'd highly recommend using Reliant Painting company for your next painting project."

"Work was performed exactly as discussed and agreed to (match existing paint colors) at estimated cost. Start was delayed at our request due to high heat and humidity, with no complaints. Work was further delayed through no fault of Arch Painting due to continuous wet weather. Once a good weather window finally occurred, the work was performed quickly with no impact on us. We were totally satisfied with the quality of the work and the finished product."

"Oscar was professional, trust worthy and did a great job painting the interior of my home which included repairing the ceiling and walls, painting them and our trims. He was experienced and is perfectionist with his work. My house looks fresh and new. I would hire him for another painting project and recommend him to others."

"It went great. I have been looking for a trustworthy, local handyman based in central MA, as I have several projects I'd like to complete in the next couple of years. I started with the relatively simple job of installing an interior handrail in my stairway, and I found Nick's name on this list. During Nick's initial visit, we also discussed larger projects I'd like to have done in the near future. He had great ideas, understood what I was looking for, and sent me detailed estimates for the work I'd like to have done. His estimates were more than fair based on others I've seen (or, more often, those who don't bother to respond because they don't want to bother with small jobs like mine). Nick called today because he and his assistant had a gap in their schedule and I took them up on their offer to come three days before our scheduled appointment. They installed the railing in about an hour and it looks great. I look forward to working with Nick and his crew for future projects - no need to look further!"

"Wow! This company was amazing. I got so lucky finding them. Cleuber came right out to quote the work, and it was a very reasonable price compared to some others. I worried that his reasonable price might mean that he would not do great work. but I was wrong. Not only did he and his crew do a truly outstanding job of scraping, sanding, priming, and painting the exterior of my cape, but he went above and beyond. He repaired some trim that needed replacing. He replaced some water damaged floor boards on my porch. He painted my bulkhead. He painted my front door railing. Cleuber and his crew worked 12-13 hour days the entire week in very hot conditions. Every time I spoke with him, he was smiling and eager to show me the progress, and get my feedback. He is an experienced painter, a small business owner who is focused on doing an excellent job, and he is great guy with a great attitude. Do yourself a favor and hire him. I still can't believe how lucky I got. I have already hired him to do some interior painting."

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