Carlos Recinos runs a painting company out of Apex, and his crews work across Raleigh, Durham, Cary and the towns around them. They paint the inside and outside of homes and businesses, and they take on the repair work that comes first, from drywall patching and light carpentry to wallpaper and popcorn ceiling removal.
Preparation gets its own time on every job. Floors and furniture are covered before any brush comes out, and crews clean up at the end of each day instead of leaving it for the last one. When the work is done, homeowners walk it with the crew, and small touch-ups are handled on the spot.
There is more to the trade than walls and trim. The team refinishes kitchen cabinets, stains decks, fences and porches, washes exteriors before painting, and coats garage floors. Color questions get worked through before anyone commits, and every project opens with a Free Quote.
Recinos Painting has been at this work for more than a decade and is a BBB Accredited Business holding an A+ rating.

Everything gets covered before painting starts, and the room is put back in order daily. Ronald Castiglia counted a crew of four who spent the first hour and a half on prep and "Covered all floors, furniture, light switches etc". Brittany Meadows Louden said furniture was moved or covered properly and that "They took care of our house as they worked" through the whole project.

John and Judi Harper described the crew "removing wallpaper, painting and removing popcorn ceiling in our bathroom and bedroom" in one visit. Lisa Wilcox said the team "removed the popcorn ceiling from our master bathroom and bedroom in two days" and cleaned up everything once the work was finished.

Start dates and finish dates hold, and crews show up when they say they will. Charles Crampton wrote that "The team arrived on time every day" and stayed professional throughout. Stephen Blasdell had repairs and popcorn removal done and noted the crew "Worked on the weekend to complete the job". Several other projects wrapped a day or more ahead of the date given.

Cabinets are sanded and refinished in place instead of being replaced. Kanoko Maeda said the crew "sanded and re-painted my original kitchen cabinets, which were in rough shape" across a few days and left them looking new. George Blanco was "extremly pleased with the results of my painted cabinets" and singled out the attention to detail the crew brought to the work.

Maryellen Furman described the crew "re-building our front porch steps, posts and railings with staining and painting afterward". Michael Potter simply "Had them come and stain my fence" and reported the crew arrived on time, kept the site clean and answered his feedback quickly.

The work is done by the company crew, with the owner setting the standard. Edward Roche Jr wrote that "The owner Carlos has high expectations of his crew and will only hire the best" after several projects at his home.

Surface repairs happen first, covering nail holes, drywall damage, trim and rotted or loose woodwork. Casey Patterson said the crew "filled all nail holes and did minor drywall, crown molding, and baseboard repairs" before starting to paint. Julianne Turak described the same group as "skilled carpenters as well as painters", which is how repair and finish work stay with one crew.
