Customers say: Quality work

"We had a very pleasant experience with Kevin & Ric from Herington Painting. They were prompt, courteous, and in constant communication with me during the entire time they were on the job. They did a great job staining the exterior of our house and took special care to cover our deck, awning and landscaping to protect them from any paint drips. We are very happy with the quality of their work and would recommend them to anyone in need of painting services."

"Mike did an awesome job painting my living room, ceiling and windows. He was neat and vacuumed up my living room once the project was completed. All my furniture was covered during this project. Mike was easy to work with and was very accommodating. I would highly recommend."

"The Cleanup did a very job of doing the things we asked them to do. They have been very useful. They seem to be friendly and talked in a pleasant manner along with doing the job they were asked to do. My only thought it that they should ask the customer about what kind of paint he/she would like used. I thought since the paint was to go on our stairs, he would automatically add sand to the paint. After telling them, he added some and it has worked out very well. We don't worry about falling as much now. We will use them again for other home service tasks. Ardeth H."

"Mike and his team are exceptional!! We couldnâ t have asked for a better contractor!! Heâ s very reliable, performs quality work at at a very reasonable price. We used him for our basement remodel and are planning on using him on future projects we have planned. Heâ s one of the best contractors we have ever hired. At a time due to the pandemic when finding a good contractor that arrives on schedule and does quality work is difficult he didnâ t disappoint. Our basement looks gorgeous. I highly recommend hiring him. Heâ s does all aspects of a remodeling job, eliminating the need to seek multiple contractors to complete the work."

"I was very happy with the painting of my bedroom. She was on time (so many contractors are not), she was pleasant to deal with, very efficient, and left the area spotless. She finished the job ahead of schedule, which is always a plus. Will certainly spread the word about her and rehire in the future if needed. Thank you."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Rochester, NY

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.
