Cabinet painting we take on
Cabinets are the most-touched surfaces in a home, so the work is slower and more detailed than painting a wall. That is exactly the kind of work we like. We paint:
- Kitchen cabinet boxes, doors and drawer fronts
- Kitchen islands, often in a contrasting color
- Bathroom vanities and linen cabinets
- Laundry room cabinets and built-in shelving
How we paint cabinets
- Label and remove. Doors and drawer fronts are labeled so every piece goes back in its place, and hardware is set aside.
- Protect the kitchen. Counters, floors, appliances and backsplashes are covered.
- Degrease. Kitchen cabinets collect grease and residue that keep paint from sticking, so we clean every surface first.
- Sand and fill. We scuff sand for grip, fill dings and repair chips.
- Prime. A bonding primer gives the finish coat something solid to hold onto.
- Paint in thin, even coats. Multiple coats with drying time in between for a smooth surface.
- Reassemble and review. Doors, drawers and hardware go back on, and we check every piece with you.
Signs your cabinets are good candidates for paint
The boxes are solid, the doors close properly and the problem is how they look: dated wood tones, worn finish around handles or a color that no longer matches the rest of the house. If water damage has softened the wood, we will point it out before quoting.
Choosing a cabinet color
White and off-white are classic, but navy, deep green and warm grays are popular for islands and lower cabinets. Because cabinets are a big surface, we can paint a sample so you see the color next to your counters and floors. Learn about our color consultation.
