Our Cabinet Painting Process
Cabinet finishes must withstand constant handling, humidity, cleaning, and daily wear. Our process prioritizes prep, bonding, and durable coatings for a smooth, long-lasting result.
1. Initial Walkthrough & Estimate
We begin by reviewing:
Your current cabinet condition
Material type (wood, MDF, laminate, etc.)
Door and drawer style
Color and finish preferences
Any repairs or adjustments needed
After the walkthrough, you receive a clear, detailed estimate.
2. Removing Hardware & Protecting Your Space
We carefully remove:
Doors
Drawers
Hardware (hinges, pulls, handles)
Then we protect your home with:
Floor coverings
Masking around appliances
Plastic protection for adjacent surfaces
This ensures a clean, organized work area.
3. Cleaning & Degreasing
Cabinets accumulate oils, residue, and kitchen buildup. Proper cleaning is essential for a strong bond.
We thoroughly clean all surfaces to remove:
Grease
Oils
Dust
Contaminants
This step is critical for long-term durability.
4. Sanding & Surface Prep
We lightly sand all surfaces to create a smooth, paint-ready profile.
If needed, we also:
Fill minor dents or scratches
Address texture issues
Repair small imperfections
Preparation is the key to a professional finish.
5. Priming the Right Way
We apply the appropriate primer based on your cabinet material:
Bonding primer for slick surfaces
Stain-blocking primer for wood grain or knots
Special adhesion primers for laminate
Primer ensures proper adhesion and color consistency.
6. Applying High-Quality Cabinet Coatings
We use Sherwin-Williams products designed for cabinets, including durable finishes that resist:
Scratches
Peeling
Moisture
Household cleaners
Depending on your space and cabinet style, we apply the coating by:
Professional spray
Brush and roll combination
Multi-stage finish for added durability
The result: a smooth, factory-style finish.
7. Reassembly & Final Review
Once the coatings fully cure, we reinstall:
Doors
Drawers
Hardware
We complete a final walkthrough with you to ensure everything looks clean, even, and complete.
