"Jeff and his entire team (Logan, Troy, Chris, Craig, & Darrel) did a great job power washing the exterior of the house, replacing rotten wood and painting our deck and siding. They were very friendly, easy to work with, and delivered a high quality finished result. we are very pleased with their service and would recommend them to others."

"Dan and his crew did a great job. Very friendly and courteous. Some parts of the deck repair were more difficult than expected. Dan showed great ingenuity and flexibility in solving the problems. He maintained good communications with us throughout the project and answered all of our questions promptly. I recommend him highly. We will use him for future construction projects."

"We needed interior painting, wall repairs, stove hood refurbishing, steel doors repair, andv staining. These painters had square feet of walls, ceilings, stairs, and trim. They submitted a detailed estimate for every room. They listed all supplies they would need. They started on the exact day they estimated. Shane and Makenzie also offered paint samples for suggestions and gave us honest recommendations when we wanted their advice. The lines where a wall meets the ceiling is crisp and clean. It is true, Painted by Shane can paint! They spent as much effort covering items as painting. Our home was spotless. Painted by Shane is very fairly priced and their work is a source of pride to them. They were very quick to communicate. It has been enjoyable to work with and meet them. We will use them again and again."

"Excellent. He was very conscientious. Pleasant to work with. He did some minor sheet rock repairs as well as a small amount of exterior painting. I asked him to come back for some additional items and everything went very well. Great pricing."

"I recently hired Action Painting to complete an interior painting project in my home and install a new garage door, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to quality were evident. The team arrived on time, maintained a clean and organized workspace, and took great care to protect my furniture and floors. They were also incredibly communicative, keeping me updated on progress and ensuring I was happy with each stage of the projects. What stood out most was their commitment to customer satisfaction. They welcomed my input and made adjustments as needed without hesitation. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and stress-free. If you’re looking for skilled, reliable painters and installers who take pride in their work, I highly recommend Action Painting. Their craftsmanship and service are truly top-notch."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Oakland City, IN

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.
