"Kerry and his team were nothing short of AMAZING! Kerry was very communicative and made sure we were in the loop throughout every step in the process. Kerry and his team painted our trim, shutters, garage door and applied a distressed limewash to our brick exterior. The house turned out beautifully! We are now the envy of the whole street! We HIGHLY recommend Kerry and will be hiring him again for our future projects."

"Cliff was able to remodel our front sitting room into a whiskey room. The project included custom bar, shelving, lighting, window treatments as well as focal wall. The shelving was a beautiful combination of stain and torched wood. Cliff was able to adapt to the changing vision as the project was evolving to surpass the original vision. Highly recommend!"

"My wife and I have a background in construction. We have never worked with a group of people that were responsive and had a greater attention to detail. Samantha was the project manager and Johnny and Marcus were the hands-on supervisors daily. Quality workmanship and client satisfaction was their primary concern."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Wilmington, 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.
