"Work was performed exactly as discussed and agreed to (match existing paint colors) at estimated cost. Start was delayed at our request due to high heat and humidity, with no complaints. Work was further delayed through no fault of Arch Painting due to continuous wet weather. Once a good weather window finally occurred, the work was performed quickly with no impact on us. We were totally satisfied with the quality of the work and the finished product."

"Nick does a wonderful job! We had him repair all our wood rot around our home, install a new clamshell bulkhead, change out an exterior door and now he is tiling our kitchen back splash and doing some painting! When our new front door arrives he will also be repairing that wood rot area and putting the new door in. He is friendly and always in contact so you know exactly when he will arrive and where he has left off at the end of the day! He is professional and trustworthy. My husband and I recommend Nick and will definitely hire him again for any further projects we have!"

Customers say: Quality work

"My wife and I chose BG Construction to stain the exterior of our cabin and also the interior of our covered deck, to include railings and all landscaping ties. We knew there would be extensive scraping and caulking and we also feared there would be unforeseen problems that would require carpentry and other construction. WE received a complete walk around and possible problems were pointed out to us. An accurate estimate was given, barring of course, unforeseen work. Bill Gray and his associates, Bobbie and Frank, were nothing short of fantastic! They are courteous, extremely friendly, and about the hardest workers we have seen in a long time. They became part of our family during their time here. If you are looking for a full service outfit that are capable of not only painting but fixing things too, you can't do better. Bill and his crew are craftsmen. Choosing BG Construction was one of the best investments we have made concerning our home. Eric/Patt"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Portsmouth, NH

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.
