"We have a HUGE backyard fence that needed staining. They were very professional, prompt, and got the job done quick. There was a small portion of our fence that got missed (a section on the top of cross board), and when I told them about it, they came right out to fix it, no questions asked. We were very happy with their service!"

"Domestic Aesthetics did an amazing job pressure washing my home. This is truly one of the best companies you could choose. They offer free quotes to assess the work needed, and their pricing is very reasonable—they even work with you on matching prices. They arrived early in the morning, got straight to work, and by the time I returned home, my property looked completely transformed—like it had a fresh coat of paint. The windows were crystal clear, and the walls and roof looked incredible. For the quality of work and the price, I couldn’t be more satisfied. They are fast, cost-efficient, and very professional. I would 100% highly recommend them to anyone looking for pressure washing services. "

"The Calix team was fantastic. Their services are prompt, thorough, and flexible as our interests changed. We painted the entire exterior of our home, which is a major change that we were nervous about. Lesther checked in with every step to make sure we were satisfied with the work and worked with us as we oscillated on the final choice for the trim and doors. We unexpectedly needed some repairs to the wood under our gutters and he helped us to get that repaired as well. Despite of some rain and us choosing the last colors at the 11th hour, they finished the work in four days. Lesther ensures his work is high quality and his customers are satisfied, in addition to just being a nice guy to work with. You can tell he is passionate and meticulous about his work."

"Andrew Zuill completed many large and small projects for us requiring skills in carpentry. tiling, drywall painting, and cabinetry. He is a highly skilled and professional craftsman who strives to satisfy his clients. My only disappointment is he moved away. Please see the picture of the kitchen he remodeled for us."

"Sergiy and his crew are great! I am remodeling my kitchen and they completed a handful of projects for me. They care about their work quality and are very professional. Sergiy was transparent with what work was being done and the associated costs. I would highly recommend Sergiy and his team!"

"Very quick with coming out and getting us on there schedule.. communication was terrible after that when I was told they would be at my house to pressure wash at a specific time and I had to call hours later to find out where they were. Same thing happened the following day when they did not finish the 1st day. Also broke a blade on our outside patio but they did fix it(weeks later and they did not call before hand) also did not use any type of bleach or cleaner to pressure wash the house.. in which I had to go back over certain spots because water was not enough.

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