"Bravo Ric! We hired Ric and Naomi to paint our soffit and fix barge-board trim, which is an easy enough job for the average painter, but our issues were 30’ to 50’ straight up! Ric had zero issues navigating our lofty heights and all nook and crannies to complete this deft-defying difficult project. The quality of his painting was meticulous, accurate and clean. A true artisan at work. No hesitation here on hiring Ric again for future painting projects. On time, prompt service and on budget. Two thumbs up!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Portland, OR

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.
