Affordable, Durable Kitchen Cabient Painting

Kitchen Cabinet Painting is one of the most cost-effective approaches to updating the look of your kitchen. Often your current cabinets serve their function perfectly well except they suffer from a dated look. Not only is cabinet replacement expensive, it can also put your kitchen out of commission for weeks or months. Our process combines meticulous preparation with the highest quality coatings and is typically completed in 4-6 days - all with very little disruption to your kitchen and lifesyle.

Summary of the Process

1. Deep clean, degrease and wet sand all cabinet surfaces (doors/drawers/base cabinetry) to promote adhesion.
2. Remove cabinet doors, drawers and all hardware. These are taken off-site for prep and finishing.
3. Apply caulking as necessary to base frame seams and joints to achieve a uniform coated surface.
4. Apply epoxy-based filler (tougher than wood!) to any holes / dents.
5. Spray (off-site) a coat of premium, extreme-bonding primer followed by light sand.
6. Spray (off-site) a coat of industrial wood finish followed by a light sand to promote adhesion between coats.
7. Spray (off-site) a coat of industrial wood finish. In some instances (lighter colors), we may apply a 3rd coat for the extra wood grain hiding.
8. Base cabinet frames are prepped onsite for spray (tape/plastic) and undergo the same process as the doors (all finishes look identical). We do not brush and roll the frames.
9. We only prep / spray what we can finish that day. We remove all plastic/paper at the end of the day so your kitchen is usable during the process.
10. Re-install all drawers, cabinet doors and hardware. In many cases, we can help you upgrade to soft-close hinges at a greatly reduced price.
11. Enjoy the updated look of your cabinets!

What’s an Industrial Wood Finish?

Most cabinet refinishing contractors use a high-quality trim paint. While these are quality products, they are designed for trim / doors / windows - not the demands of a kitchen. No cabinet manufacturer uses trim paint to finish their products. They use a product in the industrial wood finish category - typically a tinted polyurethane with added hardeners designed to withstand abrasion and a variety of chemicals (oils / acids / cleaning products). These products are usually not sold in consumer paint stores and require additional knowledge and training to apply successfully. However, they deliver a beautiful finish and exceptional durability when applied in the manner they were designed.

For most kitchens, the process takes less than a week. We are only onsite typically 2 days. Cabinet doors/drawers are painted at our offsite spray shop. We're looking forward to talking with you about your project.
