Paint Your Kitchen Cabinets!

As you watch HGTV, read home improvement magazines, see YouTube videos or see the next-door neighbor painting their cabinets- you wonder.. what if. 

You have heard that the kitchen is the most important room for the resale of a home and for improving its value. The most affordable way to improve your kitchen and increase the value of your home is to paint cabinets. 

With the skyrocketing cost of construction and materials, we can help you get the Kitchen you want that can fit your budget.

Important questions to consider with painting your cabinets:

  • Do you like the kitchen layout you have now?
  • Do you like the cabinet door style as well?
  • Will you be adding or changing Handles?
  • Do you want to have soft close hinges?
  • Are you wanting to get new counters?
  • Will you be getting new or different Backsplash or tile?
  • Is the flooring being changed?
  • Do you want the grain filled in your oak cabinet doors?

 

These are questions we ask during the paint estimate process. These questions affect the timing of when we can do the work (painting is last). These updates to your kitchen also affect the cost to paint your cabinets. For example if we are changing out your old handles for new handles- the time it takes to fill in the old holes adds to the time it takes to paint your cabinets.

Our Cabinet Painting Process

Here is a quick breakdown of how we paint cabinets.

  • We will cover and mask all non painted surfaces
  • All hardware will be marked and removed.
  • We mark it so it goes back right where we found it.
  • Each door and drawer will get labeled so the also go back to where they came from
  • Using a cleaner and degreaser all surfaces get cleaned and scuff sanded
  • With a clean rag we wipe all surfaces clean
  • Every surface to be painted will be sprayed using Stix bonding primer
  • If you choose to fill gaps in the cabinets, we fill those gaps with caulk
  • There are places that may need to get filled from nails, or nicks which we also fill and repair
  • If needed we will use a shellac primer to block stubborn stains etc from bleeding through
  • Using 320 grit sandpaper we will sand the painted surfaces between each coat
  • 2 coats of primer
  • 2 coats of paint
