"Kevin was fantastic. Getting anything done in NYC is always a hassle, even if you are willing to pay. Not with Kevin. The job was a large one over several floors and I couldn't be happier. Kevin and his assistants were always on time, courteous, detail oriented and clean and neat. He kept me informed of his progress and worked until the project was complete to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Shamrock Painting & Wallpapering and intend to use them for all of my future painting needs."

"I used Matt for a 2nd. time and he did a great job. The living room looks great and the bathroom and closets look brand new. I would definitely use him again if I need another painting project done. I have enclosed pictures of the work he did on my living room and bath room but the inside of my closets were too dark for a picture but they came out great."

Customers say: Quick response

"David and his team went the extra mile to prep and paint the exterior of my house as they have in the past. Meticulous attention to detail and all the vagaries that seasoned houses present are hallmarks of David’s work. This is especially important to me as the color scheme of my house involves five individual colors that need to be seamlessly incorporated. David and his Van Gogh team are definitely the ones to call if you have a vintage home with complex, multicolor gingerbread detail. David is wonderful to work with and his advice about paint color and attention to structural issues come from decades of work in the field."

"Chris from Fourth Wall Painting arrived in a timely fashion for each visit, from the initial estimate inspection to each of the 2 days allotted for the project. Being busy around the holidays, I appreciated that Chris was flexible regarding scheduling, even offering to get the job done as quickly as possible - and on top of being summoned for jury duty as well! He did excellent work repainting my current rental to my exact specifications, and did a thorough job of attending to touch-ups and cleaning up after completion. He even taught me the trick for setting my door latch to automatically lock! I will hire Chris again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend him to anyone with a project they wish to have completed efficiently, on time, and for a fair price."

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