Should you paint your cabinets? Ask yourself these questions:
- Does your kitchen’s overall size and layout meet your needs?
- Are your cabinets good quality?
- And in decent condition?
- Are your cabinets worth investing in?
- Do you want to replace wood stain with a painted color or change from one color to another?
Did you answer “yes”? Then let’s keep going.
A lot of painting companies paint kitchen cabinets. What you need to be aware of, however, is that not many painting contractors know how to paint cabinets the right way. Paint ing is cheaper than a cabinet remodel, but it’s still an investment, and you want to be sure your finish looks incredible and is long lasting.
How do we paint kitchen cabinets?
Step 1. We start with an in-person estimate. There’s just no good way to estimate it accurately when every kitchen is so unique. We take measurements, listen to your ideas and goals, collect the data we need, review the condition of your cabinets, factor in existing finishes, etc.
Step 2. You’ll get a clear, comprehensive Pro pos al and Contract with no hid den surprises.
Step 3. Once we’re officially under way, we’ll meticulously contain the work area to fight dust, prepare and protect the unpainted surfaces of your kitchen. We cover floors and counters, and mask surfaces.
Step 4. Cabinet doors and drawer faces are carefully removed. We create a map of your kitchen as each piece is removed, so we will be able replace it to the same spot. Your doors and drawer faces are usually transported to our professional spray room, and if not we will consult with you to create an onsite temporary spray booth.
Step 5. It’s a labor-intensive process, but we do the prep right . . . cleaning, degreasing, sand ing, repairs, priming, and top coats. Every detail matters. The cabinet boxes and non-removable side panels and shelves are prepped and painted in place.
Step 6. If you’re interested in updating your cabinet hardware, we will work with you to fit new knobs, pulls and hinges, including filling old fastener holes, if necessary.
Step 7. Once the paint ing is complete, we carefully rein stall the doors and drawer faces. We’ll also make any need ed touch-ups before a final walk-through with you.
At MTS Painting, we take great care to deliver a factory finish. We only use coatings specially formulated for cabinets. We won’t rush the job. Your freshly painted doors and drawer faces remain in our drying room for several days as the paint fully hardens. Then we insert each piece in bubble wrap envelopes for transport back to your kitchen where our technicians carefully reinstall the doors and drawer faces to the same location they were removed from.
