"The Joses—Junior and Senior—along with the on-site manager, Elvis, took great care of us in painting our nearly 100 year old duplex home. They finished ahead of schedule and did a fantastic job following our more-complicated-than-usual historic painting plan. Our building looks so good that I have been asked by multiple neighbors who did the amazing paint job. I have referred all of them to Jose!"

"I recently hired CertiPro Painters for an exterior painting project, including trim and woodwork, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! Everyone was amazing. John and Ramon were professional, and their bid was comprehensive and competitive. The crew, Alejandro, and his team were absolutely excellent from start to finish. They were courteous and professional and paid incredible attention to detail. The team took great care to prepare the surfaces properly, ensuring a flawless finish that has truly transformed the look of my home. They worked efficiently while maintaining a high standard of quality, and their professionalism was evident in every interaction. I highly recommend CertiPro Painters and Alejandro’s team to anyone seeking top-notch painting services. They exceeded my expectations and impressed me with their craftsmanship and dedication to customer satisfaction. Thank you for a job well done!"
Staining or painting kitchen cabinets can give your kitchen a brand new look without the cost of replacing the cabinets.
Stripes are popular and can be done in many different colors. Pink is just the right color for this little girl's nursery.
Painting the risers, banisters, and handrails on a stairway cn really make the difference in something that is often overlooked.
This modern home looks spectacular with the grey base color and stark white, contrasting the blue tinted windows.
This newer home makes great use of a popular earth tone color scheme, allowing the architectural features to stand on their own.

"I hired Star Painting and Decoration to stain a new fence I had put up on my property. Alvaro and his crew were fantastic! They always showed up on time and did a great job. The fence looks incredible. Will definitely hire again. Thanks Star Painting!"

"We needed ceilings smoothed in our 1950s-era home plus interior rooms and exterior trim painted. Ricardo's was the best of several bids for the project; he came out right away when I called to look at the work to be done and e-mailed a detailed, professional proposal (unlike the verbal or just scribbled total cost we got from 2 others!) He listened carefully to what we wanted and made professional recommendations such as the type of paint to best cover our formerly oil-based painted interior trim. He and his friendly, hard-working crew did a beautiful job and were careful about protecting furniture, not letting our dogs get out and cleaning up after each day's work. The man who smoothed our ceilings is an artist! Despite a rain day followed by Santa Ana winds, they finished 2 days ahead of schedule. Ricardo is a very personable man, easy to communicate with; we enjoyed working with him and his team. Highly recommended!"

"Wilson came out and gave me a quite to repair and paint the exterior of my patio. We agreed on a price and a day to start work. Wilson arrived on time and got right to work. Job was completed in 2 days as promised and everything was left neat and clean. All surfaces to be painted as well as my garage door was power washed. Very happy with the job and I would hire him again. Highly recommended."

"We are very happy with Alec and his team. Their work was completed timely and professionally. We trust the entire team for both their experience and work quality. In our kitchen, Alec even went beyond what was required in the contract by painting a couple of walls adjacent to the repair area so that the new paint matched the rest of the room. For another repair, his carpenter stayed late to ensure that the job was done perfectly. At the end of every workday and after job completion, they cleaned up nicely. We also think Alec 's price is very fair. We highly recommend Alec and his team. As a side note, Alec had designed a beautiful kitchen remodeling plan for me, expertly incorporating all of my wishes and taking into account limitations inherent with my old home. The proposed plan showcased his creativity and experience. Unfortunately, I have to wait for when my travel and work schedule opens up."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Universal City, CA

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.
