"Don and his crew were thorough, efficient and professional -- and they gave the interior of our 100+ year old house a much needed face lift! Layers of wallpaper had to be stripped and dry wall needed to be replaced in spots. Don was very responsive and easy to work. He kept us updated when problem areas were discovered. We highly recommend Painting by Don!"

"Pro wash Property cleaning services called me within 10 minutes of me posting on Angie’s list. Joe was at my home the next day at the time he said he would. Joe was ready to clean my gutters at that time. I couldn’t believe how reasonable his price was. My gutters had frozen debris in the bottom of them. A power was needed and did the job. Joe cleaned both of my decks what a great bonus. We were so happy with how professional he was that we now are having him come back to install gutter guards and do some painting inside the house. Thanks Joe"

"Larry and his team did a good job painting the EXTERIOR (didn’t see that option in the dropdown) of our home. His team were professional and efficient. They painted our home with Sherwin Williams Emerald paint which sealed the home in an almost rubber-like coating which is perfect. It resists dirt and bugs and sealed the home beautifully. The issue we had was where they painted Trex board on the top rail of the deck wall and it started peeling off within a couple months. It took Larry several months to make that right by sanding and re-painting (which is why I gave the previous rating), but he did stand behind his work and eventually made it right. I highly recommend the Emerald paint and can honestly say Larry’s team does professional work. My issue was with the months it took to make the rail issue right. To be fair, it was his first time using that particular paint and I was happy that he eventually made it right by doing the repairs himself."

"I had a nice experience working with Painting by Don. He came out and gave us a straightforward and reasonable estimate for painting, and had a crew out in a very timely manner to begin work. Had the job completed professionally in the time frame he quoted. Crew was professional and polite. "

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Traverse City, MI

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.
