"What can I say? Saul and his crew are Just great people through and through! They did a fantastic job at painting the exterior of my two story house. They were responsive and professional. They were also fairly priced, considering the size of the job, which included patching, etc. I was particularly happy about their willingness to accommodate last minute small changes and requests. I highly recommend and will use for our interior painting in the near future."

"Brett is not only an excellent painter, but also a really great guy. From our initial quote, during the project, through to payment - Brett was always looking out for our best interest. His experience is obvious, his transperancy and responsiveness appreciated and his customer service is hands down the best. Both him and Bill were just the friendliest and it’s just incredible how much they’re able to do in a day’s time. They were early in arriving every day, gave a daily update, promptly contacted me if there were any issues or decisions I need to make a call on, and left our place super clean and secure every evening. To say I’m happy with the result is a complete understatement. I’m already picking out paint colors for the next project so I can get back in line for Brett to come out again."

"Atiba and Ati at Finish Coat paint are by far the best contractors we have ever worked with. We have had some nightmare experiences with contractors, so we were hesitant to even do another job but we really needed our interior painted. They responded quickly when first contacted. They are professional. The communication is beyond excellent. We hired them to paint 3 bedrooms and retexture and finish a ceiling. They're work was so great, we expanded the job to include our downstairs. Our house looks beautiful, we couldn't be happier with their work. They did an amazing job and we will definitely be using them again for any future painting projects."

Before pictures
(Before Pic)Home was pressure washed with a 3000 psi machine to remove as much dirt and grime from the exterior house wall surfaces before painting. We sanded all the bad areas and spot primed them before painting. Used caulking to seal any open grooves and open wood joints as needed.
(Before l) This photo shows the condition of the cabinet before it was refinished. You can see the stain is faded and clear coat is chipping away from water damage and moisture in the air.
Exterior Repaint
Prepped the door for painting. Sanded it then primed it. Removed the door handle and carefully covered the hinges before spray painting the door.

"Brannick Painting just finished a complete exterior repaint of our house in El Cerrito, including staining our deck. Patrick and his team were wonderful to work with. Patrick helped us with color selection, painting large sheets of posterboard with several colors we considered, so we could hold them up to the house in different lighting to see how they would look when finished. we have heard from others that they had small swatches painted on their house and Patrick’s approach is so much more helpful. Patrick is also extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of preparation and painting. We have an old stucco house that needed a lot of detailed preparation. His crew is very experienced, and they did an excellent job repairing and preparing all of the cracks and blemishes on our house. We are very happy with the final product. We highly recommend using Brannick Painting."

"I’ve discovered my go-to painting company! Renee was a pleasure to work with and kept all his promises. His communication skills were top-notch. The painters who actually did the work were fantastic. They were meticulous, attentive, and incredibly respectful. And to top it off, they were either punctual or arrived early every single day, which is a rare feat for contractors in the Bay Area. We’ll definitely be using Kannel’s Painting Service again."

"Mr Lopez at AOL painting is awesome. He is very professional from start to finish. He keeps his work are clean and picked up. I had a family emergency and gave them free access to my house without worrying about anything. Completely satisfied with the out come of the repairs and painting. If I need a painter again he would be the only one I call. I had 4 quotes and AOL was among the lowest charging as well."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Walnut Creek, 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.
