"This was the second project we’ve done with Alan and crew. They painted the exterior of our home two years ago, and now almost the entire interior. Everything about the process was exceptional. Communication about every aspect of the job was great as was the workmanship and the clean-up. Getting nearly the whole interior painted at once is a disruptive process, but I’m not sure it could have gone better. To quote our 7-yr old, “Wow! This looks great…. Bravo!” Thank you Alan and team, great work!"

"Working with Steve was a joy!!!  He is truly a professional and a gem to find.  I would definitely ask him to do future work in our home and recommend his work to family and friends. <br /> I contacted Steve for a painting consultation and he arrived on time to quote the work a few days later.  Steve struck me as a professional, friendly and very skilled painter.  He asked appropriate questions and provided me with a detailed, itemized quote including paint, supplies and labor prior to leaving our home that evening.   <br /> We scheduled the work a few weeks later and Steve came out to the house the week prior to go over last minute details with me including specifics about colors and which hardware would go back on the walls when the painting was finished.  When Steve left I was confident that the work would be done the way we wanted. <br /> Steve performed the job while we were out of town the following week.  He was trust-worthy and cared for our home as we would have.  He even brought in packages the UPS person left on the front steps.  Upon arriving home, nearly half of our house had been re-painted to excellent standards.  He was attuned to details and made sure all the paint lines were precise.  I am a perfectionist and was very happy with the work Steve did for us.  Steve will be our first call for future painting projects! <br /> Thank you Steve! <br />"

"Todd and his crew did an excellent job. Our interior had not been repainted in over 20 years, so there was a great deal of patching and prep needed. We couldn't be happier- they were meticulous, and the house looks new again. We will be using Shelton Painting again in the spring for kitchen cabinet refinishing."

"This is the second interior painting project I have contracted Harald to perform. And just as with the first job he performed a few weeks ago he again completed this new job in an excellent fashion. He was prompt, professional, and friendly and my wife and I are 100% satisfied with his excellent work product. I highly recommend Harald to anyone seeking a reliable and conscientious craftsman for their paining project. I look forward to contracting with Harald in the future for any other painting projects and would not look elsewhere to hire a painter"

"10/10, just fantastic job they have done for my house. Originally we were thinking about replacing whole sidings but the quotes we got from different vendors were just too much. We contacted AA painting, decided to repair some damaged old sidings then paint the whole exterior. Results were stunning , my house looks like a new house, some of my neighbors came to me and praised about the new look of my house now. A crew of 3-4 people worked hard for 5 days straight ( Thanks to great weather ), repaired some damaged sidings and trims, power washed, masking windows and doors, they even covered my RV and veggie garden to protect from sprayed paint. cleaned out all debris after work each day. Price is reasonable, I am glad that I hired AA painting, they are not just a painting company, they can do other repair works too if needed. I highly recommend them for the house repair and painting projects you may have."

"The painter stined my small 2-panel fence beautifully. However, I was initially quoted $100 after sending a picture and inviting them out to view it and the painter showed up, told me it was bigger than he thought, and told me it was going to be $250."

"The entire team from Classic Finishes are respectful, competent, friendly, punctual and extremely skilled at which each of them does. From Evan, the owner, who negotiated with me an excellent rate after I obtained quotes from a total of five companies, to Bob who provided great consultation on the best way to complete the project, to Peter whose carpentry skills are second to none, and to Luis whose painting and popcorn ceiling removal skills are undeniably amazing. I am very pleased and lucky I hired Classic Finishes and I highly recommend!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Stillwater, MN

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.
