"Narciso was wonderful and stress free to work with from the initial estimate until the final payment. We found him and his employees prompt, professional, and did excellent work. His price was fair and reasonable. They even game on the 4th of July to touch up, and to our surprise, cleaned the front window by the doors. We also hired them to power wash our walk/driveway and clean the gutters.We have had more than a few compliments on our home. Without a doubt, from now on, Paz Painting will be our go-to for any painting, pressure washing, or gutters cleaning needs."

"Over the course of the last year Grady Jones Paint has worked for me on (3) different occasions to repaint our home interior. The scope of work included scraping the popcorn ceilings, flattening them and then repainting them; repainting all of the walls; painting our cabinetry; and, finally, staining the exposed woodwork on our deck. Clee was very responsive and visited the project every time his workers were on site. Tim and Eddie made up the crew who did the work. They were amicable, professional, courteous and did a GREAT job. I plan to use Grady Jones Paint for any future work and recommend them to anyone in need of a paint contractor."

"Henry and Miguel did a great job. Henry was the lead on the project, and he was professional, always on time, quick to answer questions by email and phone, and he and Miguel were efficient and did high-quality work (drywall and painting). Henry is obviously passionate about his work and providing high quality service to his customers. I will definitely hire Henry and his team in the future."

"Excellent services. Immediate, personal and consistent communication through Mariela and Juan. Professional, trustworthy, detail oriented, attentive to any trash generated from project, knowledgeable, experienced and fully equipped. Juan also completed an installation of moulding and was able to match the stain. Juan is top notch. We highly recommend Juan and Andres! They also completed our project in a demanding time frame with ease. Juan came to us as a referral and we, in turn, have no hesitation promoting this Team!"

"We had 30ft ceilings to be painted with some sanding needed. Not a job for any old painter. This took professionals and thatâ s exactly what Santiago is! I will use them again without hesitation for more painting projects. They covered all our wood floors, furniture, mirrors and moved furniture where they needed it to be. Moved furniture back when job was done.Very dependable and great communication. Our job took a week to complete. For our job, I thought the pricing was right for the extensive work involved. Iâ m so happy with this job!!!!!!!!"

"Damian does great work! He came to my home and color matched, then painted my shutters and chimney to the exact color I needed them to be. While he was working Damian was very professional, quiet, and approachable. Before finishing the chimney, he made sure to let me know about some rotting wood on the chimney, quickly quoted the addition and proceeded to improve the look of my chimney. I highly recommend hiring Damian if youâ re looking for someone you can trust while out and about during the day or just chilling at home."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Wake Forest, NC

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.
