"I was in a pinch and needed my bedroom painted. Also painted my mother’s house before she moved. BTP came out and gave a very competitive quote both times. Exceeded my expectations. Thanks for making it easy."

"We had had Powerhouse do some exterior painting for us last summer and they did an awesome job. Very conscientious, and thorough. We then talked to Brian about possibly replacing a couple of our windows—one in front and one at the back. We have an older home and like the stained interior, and even though wood windows aren’t recommended, we chose to do that since we didn’t want to replace ALL of the windows at one time. I did a lot of research and worked with Tommy Underwood, who again, did a very thorough job ordering the window and keeping me in the loop. He listened to what I had said, and ordered the window for us. Since the original windows are 30 years old, you can’t get ‘exactly’ the same kind, but they did a superb job of finding a very similar replacement window. The installation was fairly easy, but finding the closest stain color was not. It took a lot of trial and error, but they stuck with it and did an excellent job. We are so pleased because there will be more window replacement in our future and we’ve found a company. (Powerhouse) and a product that works well for us. Thank you to Brian, Tommy, and Wes for their hard work. We are very pleased with the result."

"Kevin Carey and his crew with Careyâ s Painting just finished painting the interior of our home (3,000 sq ft) earlier today and we couldnâ t be happier with their work! They did an excellent job and really exceeded our expectations! They were very courteous and professional and I was especially impressed with how well they worked together. I appreciate how careful they were in moving their ladders and other project materials throughout our home. Kevin Carey went above and beyond in meeting our expectations and his price for the job was the very fair and reasonable. We highly recommend Careyâ s Painting and will be telling our friends and family about their quality work! Thanks, Home Advisor!"

"They are nice and pleasant but the estimate given to us by Top Notch General Contracting was too much and it was not itemized. We would recommend that if you were to request a quote from them to push for a quote that has everything itemized. The pricing was too much for us."

"Carlos and the crew he had were incredibly professional and talented with their craft. We had some brand-new blinds put up throughout our two-story house in no time at all. They had installed two new storm-doors on our patio after the last two started sagging and falling apart due to a lack of cross-bracing as they described. Would definitely be keeping in contact for future projects."

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