"I have never been happier with a painter and I have hired several. After going onto Angi's list, I received a prompt reply from Ruben of Ruben Roman Painting. He came out soon after and emailed a competitive quote. Once started, Ruben kept me informed during each step of the process. Ruben completed the job in a timely manner, but was also a perfectionist. He took extreme pride in his work. He moved furniture, taped and covered parts of the deck, removed old stain down to the bare wood using a chemical cleaner, power washed, sanded and applied the new stain. My deck never looked better! I am that thrilled and highly recommend Ruben for any painting job."

"Omar did a phenomenal job painting my apartment. He is so friendly and easy going. He was easy to work with and I would *highly* recommend him to any of my family or friends. If you are looking for someone to do an excellent job at a very reasonable price, definitely consider hiring Omar. I have already asked him for a quote for another job! Thanks Omar!"

"I had a great experience with platinum painting. They were prompt. Gave me a fair estimate. Did great work. Completed the job on time. As an older couple we are very picky about who we will let into our home: we felt very comfortable with the platinum painters working in our home."

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Mill Valley, CA

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.
