"This company has painted our house twice and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Joon and his crew are punctual, courteous and hardworking. They do an excellent job and clean up afterward so that you hardly know that they were there. Their prices are also very reasonable."

"Dave came in and did a fabulous job and the bedroom was more work than anticipated from my perspective once I cleaned it out. He was professional and experienced and the price was reasonable and mid range given the quotes I received. I will reach out to them for additional projects again. Highly recommend."

Painting questions, answered by experts

There is no one correct order for painting a room, as it largely depends on personal preference and skill level. However, for non-professional painters, we recommend the following order: ceiling, walls, doors, windows, trim. This is because painting trim, windows, and doors can be more time-consuming and meticulous, and it's best to save them for last when you’ve already gained some confidence from painting the larger surfaces.

The type of paint and finish you choose impacts the overall cost of your painting project. Some of the most common types of paint include:

  • Primer: $10–$20 per gallon

  • Flat or matte finish: $10–$70 per gallon

  • Eggshell or satin finish: $12–$72 per gallon

  • Semi-gloss finish: $14–$74 per gallon

  • High-gloss finish: $16–$76 per gallon

You should let your initial paint job dry at least 12 hours before opening the door. Check your work after 12 hours have passed to confirm there are no uneven patches, or signs of the old paint showing though—if you see any, we recommend applying a second coat of paint and waiting an additional 12 hours for it to dry. 

Yes, with some primers, you can prime and paint on the same day. It depends on how long your primer takes to fully dry. Some can dry within an hour while others may take a fully 24 hours.

With so many color choices for cabinets, you have many different ways to bring personality to your kitchen (or any other room where you are updating your cabinets). The color you choose to paint your cabinets should reflect your personal style but can also match existing wall colors or appliances. Some colors to choose from include:

  • White

  • Navy

  • Grey

  • Green

  • Taupe
