Cabinet Painting
Cabinets that look factory-finished, and stay that way.
Kitchen cabinets get grease, steam and hands on them every day. Paint brushed over glossy, greasy doors peels at the edges within months. A finish that lasts depends on what happens before any paint goes on.
How every job runs
The same four promises on every job, big or small.
- Pay when it's done No deposit and no money up front. You pay after the work is finished and you're happy with it.
- Itemized estimate first Prep, materials and labor, priced line by line before anything starts. No vague totals, no surprise fees.
- A lead on site every working hour A dedicated project lead is on your property whenever the crew is working, so there's always someone to ask.
- The owner checks in daily The owner comes by every day to inspect the work, drop off supplies and keep quality where it should be.

How the job runs
-
Walk-through
We look at the cabinets' material and condition, talk through colors and hardware, and write the itemized estimate.
-
Take apart and clean
Doors and drawers come off and are labeled; every surface is degreased, because sanding grease just spreads it.
-
Sand, prime and spray
Sanding, bonding primer and the sprayed Emerald Urethane finish, with cure time between coats.
-
Rehang and walk-through
Doors and drawers go back, hinges adjusted so they close evenly. We check every one with you before you pay.
Why it takes days, not a weekend
Most of a cabinet job is preparation: cleaning off years of cooking grease, sanding, filling and priming. That's what decides whether the finish bonds or peels.
The finish itself needs time between coats and before doors are handled. Rushing either part is how cabinets end up chipped and sticky. The estimate shows the schedule, so you know how long the kitchen is out of use.

Questions about cabinet painting
Can you paint laminate or thermofoil cabinets?
Solid wood and MDF paint well. Laminate can take paint with the right bonding primer. Peeling thermofoil has to come off first; we'll tell you honestly at the walk-through if painting isn't worth it.
Can we use the kitchen during the job?
Mostly, yes. The cabinet boxes stay in place, and we keep the sink and counters usable at the end of each day.
Can you change the hardware?
Yes. We fill the old holes before painting and drill for the new pulls once the finish has cured.
