"I needed to have the entire interior of a 3 bedroom home painted and had an admittedly small window of time in which to get the work done. RA Painting accomplished the work in a very professional manner. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations. I would hire them again."

"Wow…. What a great experience. We waited all summer for a local painter to show up, but he never did. No Call, No Show… on and on. New Era, Christian and his crew, returned my call on the same day. Came to the site the next day. Sent me a quote the 3rd day. NOTE: there was a key factor to their schedule, so we were very lucky to fall into an open slot. They showed up first thing Monday. They worked Monday-Friday, completed on time, on budget and the quality was over the top. So glad they talked us into using a quality level of paint from Benjamin Moore. I waited about a month to write this, and every time we go out on the huge wrap around deck, look at the lattice or the windows…. We are still extremely happy and thankful we got to meet and work with New Era. We haven’t prioritized our next project yet, but we’ve already gotten on the schedule for 4 months from now. If you have to wait to have Christian’s group do your job… It’s Worth It."

"Wes and the crew at Straight Edge Painting Pros were outstanding. Wes quickly returned my calls, gave a very reasonable quote, and the crew did an outstanding job repairing damaged wood and staining the house. In addition we had new wood garage doors installed after the house was stained and the Straight Edge team came back right after installation to stain these doors as part of the original estimate. We are very satisfied and would strongly recommend Straight Edge Painting Pros to anyone looking for house painters."

"Carolina Painting and Remodeling did an amazing job with my living room. They helped me choose the perfect color, offered great advice, and were able to come on short notice. The team completed the entire painting project in just one day, including replacing the molding and moving all the furniture back into place. Their professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail were outstanding. I’m extremely happy with the results and highly recommend them"

"I started looking for a company to do a popcorn ceiling removal project while I was still in the process of closing on my house. Pedro was super friendly, helpful, and a great communicator which is why I chose P&K. I closed on July 7 and he came out that same day to do a quick tour of the space and make sure they had all the info they needed. Work began on July 9. The job initially took just 3 days, but they had to come back countless times to repair their work. Drywall tape was cracking through in multiple rooms, popcorn was left on the ceilings, paint was messy or just plain missing, etc. Pedro continued to provide excellent customer service and the team continued to come back to repair their work without charging me more. In fact, I had a roof leak that affected the ceiling and they even handled that without charging me more and I do sincerely appreciate that. However, in full honesty I wish I had never hired this company. Their last visit was September 11 & I continue to find more areas where popcorn is still left, the main line in my vaulted ceiling is not straight, my kitchen ceiling has a line running across it along with multiple dents from a putty knife, and drywall tape is cracking through in new places. I've had new painting companies come in to quote a different project this week and every single one of them has commented on the state of my ceilings. If that doesn't sound alarm bells then I don't know what does. TLDR; Great customer service, poor quality for the cost. Not recommended."

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