"These guys are great! I have a few cabinet doors that needed to be painted to finish up a kitchen cabinet refacing project we started before we moved into our condo. We reached out to multiple people to get a quote for painting just a few cabinet doors. We were on a budget, and I didn't think we'd be able to get the work done until we could save up more, but these guys are so nice that they offered to work with us on our budget - it truly felt like a Christmas miracle (I may have teared up, it was so kind)! They did a great job painting the cabinets and turned them around in just a couple of days, even though I told them they could take their time. In the future, we hope to repaint all the walls in our home, and I will reach out to Color Cat Painting when the time comes!"

"Five star painting painted my 30year old hard wood cabinets. The workers were very professional and paid attention to every detail. My cabinets look like new. If I could give an A++ rating I would do so. The price was cheaper than refacing or restraining. I could not be happier with their service And quality."

"We were so impressed with everyone who worked on our home interior painting. Mike was very professional and was always available if we had questions. The crew also were very professional, courteous and helpful. They did an amazing job painting with beautiful results! We had absolutely no complaints at all. We will wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone who wants painting done. As soon as spring arrives we plan on asking them to repaint the exterior of our house next. I am sure we will be just as pleased."

They executed the project on time, they followed up on any additional work on time and even helped us look into some issues that were not paint related. The output was great quality and we are happy!"

"Brock was very dependable and worked with us on a small project, painting and caulking exterior of our two story house. He also offered to fix our cobbled together bird screens on our vents and they look great. I appreciate the communication with a contractor, it doesn't always happen and it did with Brock."

"Freddy and crew did an outstanding job repairing and installing new frames on all of my windows and the slider. Due to extensive water damage, new trim materials, flashing and Hardi Plank frames were installed & painted. A large 2x6 along the garage door was replaced, & the frame around the exit garage door was replaced & painted. Some cracks in the siding were also repaired & painted. Freddy was professional, prompt and explained what was needed and why. He"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Tacoma, WA

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.
