"Not only did the staircases turn out beautifully, but he also perfectly matched the color we wanted. Wilber went out of his way to accommodate our need to access both floors at all times. My wife works from home and needed access to both floors not only for her job, but to take care of our eight week old puppy. We will definitely be hiring Wilber to do some other paint projects in the near future."

"The crew was easy to work with and did a very good job. Weather was a challenge and they worked one Saturday to get the project finished. I think all of the cedar got 2 coats of stain as proposed, and they willingly bought the Olympic stain that I requested. They stated beforehand that they would caulk and finger smooth all windows, doors, and joins. They did this in most of the obvious places on the front of the house, but some of the caulk lines in the back appear to have been applied on top of the existing 8 year old caulk and were obviously not finger-smoothed. They honored their estimate and they were very reasonably priced. I never saw any to them wear a mask or face covering even when standing close to me in a conversation. They certainly didn't need masks when working, but all workers need to wear them when in close contact with a customer. I would hire them again. It was a good experience and I feel like I got what I paid for."

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

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.
