"Very satisfied with Wow. Had a major project of painting our old house, including carpentry for a great deal of wood rot, and full replacement of our shutters. We worked with Craig Merrils on securing a quote and scheduling the work. He was wonderful to work with, came in fairly priced, and was super responsive to all our needs. Josue supervised the work onsite. The staff was highly skilled and hard working. They are committed to quality and definitely the best out there in terms of detailed, lasting work. They also use high-grade, low-toxin paint, which was important to us. After the job was complete, Craig and Josue went carefully over the work with us, and addressed any and all touch ups that were needed. They address any questions or issues you have until you are 100% satisfied. Highly recommend."

"While we are generally satisfied with the fresh look of the newly painted surfaces, not much care was taken with the fence staining. The fence is old so we expected some uneven stain, but several interior borders were missed and there are boards with stain runs and drips which looks sloppy. In addition, paint dripped onto our siding when the back shutters were being painted, and wasn't cleaned off. Scraping and painting the iron railing on the front steps takes a lot of work, and we were going to do it ourselves, but were assured by Solution that they would do a thorough job with scraping, priming, and painting. However, within 5 months, the paint was already chipping off, and we're going to have to do it ourselves anyhow. We were less satisfied with the project management and communication from the company regarding the project. We got a quick estimate visit (we accepted the same day and provided paint and stain colors 2 days later) and assurance that we would be contacted with the start date within a few days. I emailed Solution after 3 weeks of no communication from them and was promptly given some date options, leaving me to wonder when we would have eventually been contacted. We scheduled date 2 weeks from then, and the workman showed up on the scheduled start date with no materials because he did not know the paint and stain colors, although we had provided them. When I provided the information again to the office, I was told they didn't work with the particular brand of stain I had chosen; they could have been up front with this and saved me an extra trip to Home Depot. To continue, the workman power washed the fence and then left without doing any prep work. To our minds, he could have started scraping the front railing, or gone and purchased the materials and got started on the priming. It turned into a longer job with less on-site workmen than I was told when asking questions during the estimate. The workmen also asked whether the wood under the deck needed stained, although it was stated on the estimate. We went with Solution Painting in part because of the good reviews that were posted for the company, but I don't think we would use them again."

"Top notch from beginning to end! He came out right away to give the estimate. The estimate was in line with two other estimates I got. He won my business because he had three people, (not just 1 or 2) and promised to be done in 2 days. My basement was painted along with a couple other small paint jobs within the time promise. They cleaned up, rehung the photos, and put the furniture back in even less time than promised. Great job! I highly recommend Chavez."

"Mr. Mendez and his crew did an excellent job with our skylights installation and painting our shutters and also painting our kitchen and family room. He is very responsive and completed the work very efficiently. Will definitely be calling him again for more painting projects. Highly recommend him. UPDATED AS OF 02/27/2022: Mr. Mendez also replaced our stair railing. He built everything from scratch. He also replaced some light fixtures. He does so much more besides painting. We plan on calling him when we renovate our lower family room."

"They do far more than painting! We worked with them for a full basement remodel (adding a bath/shower, laundry and kitchenette). Ray had thoughtful recommendations to make it safe for our aging parent as well. The crew felt like an extension of our family by the end of the project. They worked late into the night at times to meat completion goals."

"This was the first contractor that I found on Angie's List... finding a good painter was part of the reason that I signed up on this site. Needless to say, I ran across Let's Roll Painting on here, contacted them and have been incredibly pleased with the results.
Lester came out and put together a quote for painting a few rooms in our new house. The larger room, a multi-room (kitchen, eat-in area and family room) had higher, vaulted ceilings and a lot of priming that needed to be done (prior to their work, I ripped down half-wall wood paneling, spackled and sanded).
The morning of work, his crew came in and he introduced them to me. They then proceeded to level, sand, prime and paint the multi-room, as well as paint the formal dining room. They finished up in one day (by about 5 PM) and did a fairly good job of cleanup (the bathroom was a little messy from rinsing their brushes, but nothing I couldn't follow behind with a rag).
Prices were competitive and the service was outstanding. I have them coming back next week to provide estimates for a few additional rooms. Would definitely recommend.

"Mitch and the team at That 1 Painter always do such a great job with my clients (I’m a Realtor) between communication, scheduling, prep work and protecting the property, then most importantly, do a really good job on the paint."

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

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.
