"I was very happy with the work performed by Leal Remodeling, Painting and Handyman Services. Ferney Leal and his crew did extensive prep work: power washing, sanding, caulking, priming, and replaced damaged wood. Finally, they painted all of the wood trim on the exterior of our home and painted the porch. Our house was looking a little worn down, now it looks first rate."

"I highly recommend Emerald Painting. Roland was incredibly responsive and helpful with suggestions. His crew was professional, efficient, and skilled. We love the finished product - new exterior paint on a brick row house, repaired and painted concrete steps and porch, painted steel rail, and stained wooden deck. I will hire Roland and Emerald Painting for all similar future projects."

"Edward and his team did a fantastic job staining our new hybrid deck and painting the front porch! They worked meticulously to tape around all the composite wood before staining the deck. It was a significant amount of work at a very reasonable price. Edward also returned to the house to touch up a few spots after the team was finished. Lastly, he was very flexible with the timing of the project, as we had to push the start date back a bit when something came up. Weâ d highly recommend D. Fuentes Painting for any painting or staining project!"

"Timur was fantastic! He was able to provide a quick, thorough, and reasonable estimate via email of the work we needed done (soundproofing a shared living room wall). He quickly scheduled to have the work completed and then was very responsive as the 3-day project was completed. He and his crew were on-time, reliable, and professional. It could not have been easier working with him! The work was flawless and painless. I cannot recommend him highly enough for any soundproofing, drywall, and painting needs you might have."

"JW was excellent. We had a myriad of projects, including exterior and interior painting, drywall repair, exterior wood replacement and brick repair. They did a great job and paid attention to every detail. We had interior jobs and felt comfortable with the men inside our home. Moreover, they went above and beyond with labeling all of our paint cans (with the rooms in which each color was used) and moving them."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Washington, DC

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.
