"Wonderful…I would definitely use his services again. He took extra care to cover all items. He was even helpful in the decision of the paint color for the bedroom. He had all the equipment needed for the jobs. The job took a few days and he made sure to clean up everyday. Glad I chose this company, he did a tremendous job. I am loving the new colors."

"DeLuca's Painting is simply amazing. I called Gary and he came right by for a quote, didn't hesitate. He looked around the house and gave me a great price for the work that needed to be done. He had a guy there the next morning and finished the job in no time at all! Extremely professional, punctual, and just great to work with. After a little miscommunication on my part (I forgot to tell him about one small side of the dormer) he was extremely respectful and came back the next morning and finished it within 20 min. I would highly recommend DeLuca's Painting to anyone that is looking. Gary is amazing and the work he does is beautiful, I'll be using him again in the future!"

"Got estimates from 5 companies - large and small -- to paint (dark stained) 10 cabinet doors and 7 drawers (to off-white). Estimates ranged approx $4200 down to $750. All were going to use the same store and type of paint (Emerald urethane). All but one would separate doors/hinges and use brush or spray on-site, one would remove all and paint in their shop. I couldn't imagine the results would be 4 times better if I went with the high end quotes. Went with Wing at approx $750 (not incl tax) to do job. Zach quoted and thought it would be a 2-3 day job to remove doors/hinges and spray onsite. Three weeks later I got 4 day notice they could start work. A 3 person crew showed up on time and got right to work. Professional, friendly, efficient. They decided to use brush only. I "thought" spray method would provide a better looking finish but "no", the brush method was very good (light stipple effect). One prime coat and one finish coat were accomplished on day 1. Returning on time for day 2, they finished another coat and cleanup in approx 4 hours. Overall: Very satisfied and would hire again."

"They did a great job painting our house in a very timely manner. We needed it done quickly because we are selling our home and they were able to fit us in within a week or so of the estimate. They were very courteous and kept us informed about the progress of the job especially when the weather prohibited work on the project. They also did a very good cleanup afterwards and managed to even get the paint chips out the garden beds. I would definitely recommend them because if the fair pricing, good communication, and quality work."

"Very pleased with the repairs and painting of my deck. Looks like new again. Two young men worked non- stop out in the boiling sun and were very meticulous about finishing the project correctly. They replaced rotten boards, sanded and scraped the entire deck and gave the deck two coats of paint. I will definitely be using them for future projects."

He completed a large-scale renovation in my living room and dining rooms, tearing down old plaster walls and ceiling, installing new drywall, canned lighting, new flooring, and trim. He kept me informed throughout the project. I highly recommend Nickel City Repair and look forward to having Roger back for the next project."

"Again Sabino proved to be a professional, honest person. Since he already did work for me, I felt comfortable just speaking to him on the phone and working out the project details. He did the work when he said he would, left me the bill, I checked around, work was satisfactory, and I mailed him a check. I feel confident that my next job will be handled in the same manner. Thanks, Sabino!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Lancaster, NY

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.
