"Adam from G.Z.L. Painting was the only contact who identified himself by name (great when receiving multiple texts from various contacts). Adam's pricing was competitive and he did not give the impression that the job was too small for consideration. He was polite, friendly, professional, and did an amazing job! We needed an area painted that included split stairs with high ceilings, AND a window area. We are very pleased with his work, and have asked him to do another job. My husband and I would highly recommend Adam to others."

"We had our baby’s nursery painted ahead of our new arrival. Re-painted the whole room plus did an accent wall. Perry and his son were very attentive to detail. Perry was also very knowledgeable and answered all our questions from the get go. He recommended the right paint and color for the job! We’re very pleased with the service and love the way our baby’s room came out!"

"Golden Star Painting was a great hire. Shortly after putting the job (to re-paint a room with 3 colors, and install high-detail crown molding) out for contractors, the company contacted me, discussed the details and provided a very competitive quote. They were on time to the job site each day, took care to keep my entryway/work areas clean while there, and quickly addressed a couple of complications that came up to make sure the project looked how I envisioned it. If you’re looking for a reliable company with great prices who do high quality work, I’d recommend picking Golden Star Painting for your project."

"I am absolutely delighted with the professionalism and skill of this company. From the initial phone contact to the final walkthrough, RFP was very communicative. The quote was thorough in detail, so I knew exactly what to expect. We talked about color choices and he obtained a color sample. Antonio’s crew showed up daily, worked diligently, and completed the work very efficiently. Each member had their tasks and worked well together. Antonio checked in on site daily to survey the ongoing work. I absolutely will hire them again for my next project. Five Stars!!!"

"Herb was very fast and the overall painting quality of the walls is good and even.

But he didn't remove the outlet and light switch plates, didn't tape off the baseboards, or remove a cable line running along the wall. So now the cable is painted to the wall. This is frustrating, if I need to move that cable, I'm going to have to peel it out of the paint and it'll leave a noticeable weird mark along the wall."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Modesto, CA

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.
