"Our experience with Cruz Home painting couldn’t have been better. Jesus Cruz was prompt, and pleasant to work with every step of the way. He provided a detailed job description at the outset, and went out of his way to provide stain samples and advice before starting the work. He is a perfectionist, and paid attention to the smallest details along the way. We will definitely hire him again for our next project."

"Paz Painting is simply the best. They were recommended by our realtor who has very high standards. We had 4 different projects with different timelines and some delays that could not be helped. Paz was flexible, communicative, very fair pricing, excellent quality of service. We'll have them working on projects in our new home as soon as we can. I wouldn't go with anyone else. I also like support smaller, locally owned businesses."

"Over the course of the last year Grady Jones Paint has worked for me on (3) different occasions to repaint our home interior. The scope of work included scraping the popcorn ceilings, flattening them and then repainting them; repainting all of the walls; painting our cabinetry; and, finally, staining the exposed woodwork on our deck. Clee was very responsive and visited the project every time his workers were on site. Tim and Eddie made up the crew who did the work. They were amicable, professional, courteous and did a GREAT job. I plan to use Grady Jones Paint for any future work and recommend them to anyone in need of a paint contractor."

"Henry and Miguel did a great job. Henry was the lead on the project, and he was professional, always on time, quick to answer questions by email and phone, and he and Miguel were efficient and did high-quality work (drywall and painting). Henry is obviously passionate about his work and providing high quality service to his customers. I will definitely hire Henry and his team in the future."

"Javier was extremely responsive. He contacted me within one business day, and we met to discuss my painting projects. I could tell right away that he was an experienced painter. He completed the jobs within 2 days—deck restoration, painting exterior shutters and the main entry door. I’m pleased with Javier’s work, although I’ll need to have him do touch-up on the deck steps. His prices were very competitive and I plan to hire him again soon."

Small jobs welcome

"Many painters are not eager to take on a small job. Ryan took a look at a dining room ceiling that had water stains from a plumbing leak. The ceiling needed repair and the molding required sanding and painting , due to water damage. Ryan was wonderful. He arrived on time, ready to work. He was polite and pleasant. He ran into an unusual situation, called and called me to point it out,, then went about fixing the issue, that must have been there since the house was built, 20 years ago. I cannot say enough good things about Ryan and his work! My next painting project, I will hire Ryan as my painter! ! I paid for a quality job and I certainly got a high quality result! He is the neatest painter I have worked with in 40 years! Thank you, Ryan!!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Raleigh, NC

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.
