Understanding the professional cabinet painting process can help you appreciate the craftsmanship behind a quality finish. We break down our step-by-step approach to transforming your cabinets.

Initial Consultation and Planning

Every successful project begins with thorough planning. During our initial consultation, we discuss your vision, color preferences, and timeline. We'll assess your cabinets' condition and provide recommendations tailored to your specific needs.

Preparation

Proper preparation is the foundation of any successful cabinet painting project. This includes:

• Removing all cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware
• Thorough cleaning to remove grease and grime
• Careful sanding to create a receptive surface for primer
• Meticulous masking to protect surrounding areas

Priming

We use high-quality, adhesion-promoting primers specifically designed for cabinetry. This crucial step ensures proper paint adhesion and helps prevent bleed-through of wood tannins, especially important for oak and other porous woods.

Painting

Our professional painters apply multiple thin coats of premium cabinet paint using specialized equipment for a smooth, factory-like finish. Between coats, we lightly sand to ensure an ultra-smooth result. Depending on the color and cabinet condition, 2-3 coats are typically required.

Drying and Curing

While paint may feel dry to the touch within hours, proper curing takes time. We allow adequate drying time between coats and recommend minimal use of newly painted cabinets for several days after installation to allow for complete curing.

Reassembly and Final Touches

Once fully dry, we carefully reinstall doors, drawers, and hardware. This is also when we add any upgrades like new handles or soft-close hinges. A final inspection ensures everything meets our quality standards.
