"Our experience with Cruz Home painting couldn’t have been better. Jesus Cruz was prompt, and pleasant to work with every step of the way. He provided a detailed job description at the outset, and went out of his way to provide stain samples and advice before starting the work. He is a perfectionist, and paid attention to the smallest details along the way. We will definitely hire him again for our next project."

"We had previously hired Paz Painting to remove popcorn from the ceilings in 2 rooms and hired his crew again to do the same in our dining and living rooms, an entryway and the upstairs stairwell ceiling. They also painted several rooms. They did a great job in both regards and did a nice job of cleaning up when done. Narciso is easy to work with and I would definitely hire his company again."

"We hired Five Star Painting this past summer because they had done such a nice job seven years prior. They were extremely profession, from the initial call, through estimate, during the project, and following up afterwards. I would highly recommend them to family or friends."

"All-Pro Painting was, by far, the best! From the initial meeting with Chad, who explained the entire process and what to expect, to the crew who did the work, it was all amazing. Highly recommend them!"

"The Cortesâ s power-washed our house, stained/sealed our screened in porch and pergola, and also painted our front porch. The work was completed on time and efficiently. The Cortesâ s did an excellent job, offered suggestions that improved the end result. We appreciated their expertise and definitely will reach out to them when we have painting projects in the future."

"Carlos and his team gave an estimate which they stuck to; the scope of work was extensive requiring structural cabinet work, finish carpentry, spackling- painting, caulking throughout the house recaulking all finish moldings and joints; amazingly responsive; all work was completed meticulously and professionally; hard workers. At project completion we walked the house for a final inspection. Everything about the team and their work was professional. Wherever they were working around the house was always protected from debris and dust. When the job was completed we walked the site for a final inspection. I would seriously consider without reservation connecting with Brothers Carpentry and Paint for any repairs or additions to their home."

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