"I hired Michael painting thru home advisors He came with excellent ratings. He called me immediately and we set up appointment for an estimate. He explained to me all about his background painting which made me feel comfortable. He came to my house and immediately took off his shoes and had a mask on. (I have slip ons ). He told me his brother and son would do yhe painting. They came and were very professional and personable and did an excellent job. I highly recommend Michael's painting and will use them in the future. Thank u home advisors Charlie and Shirley George"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Utica, NY

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.
