"We solicited bids from three vendors. All viewed the project before bidding. One never sent a bid. Custom Painting gave us a good bid, and the third vendor bid almost double Custom Painting's bid. The project lasted two days. Custom Painting's people arrived on time each day. They did a great job all around. The carefully covered everything. The ceiling repairs were perfect. We are pleased with the paint job. I would, without hesitation, use this firm for future projects."

"If your looking for a great painter in Houston, that won't break your bank then look no further. Guillermo & his team (which is also his mom & dad) are the one's. My family & I most say that we're absolutely blown away how professional, neat & fast they worked. They bought everything they needed. They painted the inside of our whole house with a few accent walls. They cleaned up after themselves each day when they were finished. In the living room we did panels with a design in the middle. Then in my granddaughters room we did pink & white stripes on one wall. Then my room we did a green accent wall. We would have to rate there services a 10/10 because they went above our expectations. They worked with us & gave there honest opinion. We will be using them again on other projects in the near future. Thanks again guy's for your awesome work, keep up the great work!!!"

"The job and work went well. Project was largely in support of master bathroom remodeling. Lopez Painting removed wall paper, repaired woodwork and dry wall from moving electrical outlets and installing canless lights, painted master bath, closet, toilet room, large custom vanity and cabinets. Also, painted general common areas upstairs and down and repaired drywall as needed. Finally, removed wall paper and painted a upstairs bathroom. Lopez painting show up on time, and work long days. Worked well with my general contractor teams during various phases of my masterbath room remodel."

"Raul and his workmen did a fantastic job installing the crown molding in my home. He matched the original molding as close as possible considering my home is 10 years old. He understood what effect I was looking for. The seams and painting of the trim are flawless. The house was always clean when I came home from work. Raul communicated with me daily on the project's progress. I am very pleased with his work and would hire him again."

"It went very well. The crew was on time every day, they were polite and they cleaned-up before they left. They were very dilligent, professional and careful. They interacted well with us and responded well to all of our requests. There were no problems of any sort. The General Manager, Alfredo Flores, was a pleasure to work with. At the time of the original estimate, he showed up on time as promised, was very careful and through in his analysis of what needed to be done and provided a detailed estimate at the end of the same day he visited. His estimate was in line with others we had solicited so based on our interactions with him and the reviews we had seen on Angie's list plus his very high rating by the Better Business Bureau, we decided to sign the contract with him. We will definitely work with CertaPro Painters of Central Houston (Alberto Flores) again when we need painting and will recommend them to friends and family."

"Flooring Nation did a phenomenal job painting the interior and exterior of my home. They also repaired damage on my interior walls and on the exterior of my home. My experience far exceeded my expectations, and I feel like I have a brand new home. Plus, the staff is so professional and accommodating. I highly recommend them and plan to have them work on future home projects I have planned."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Houston, TX

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.
