FAQs
What kind of finish do you use?
We use an excellent quality paint that is designed for use on cabinetry and trim-work. With the kitchen being a place for splatter and spills, we always recommend using the semi-gloss sheen for easy wiping and durability.
What is your process?
After cabinet doors and drawer faces are taken down, the bases are cleaned thoroughly, sanded, and primed. Then 2-3 layers of paint are applied. This process is done in home and by hand. Doors and drawer faces are taken to our shop to be cleaned, sanded, primed, and painted with a high volume sprayer for an even, factory-finished look.
How durable will it be? (See Video Above)
This is, understandably, an area of great concern for our clients. Any great painter will tell you that the durability rests within the prep-work. Our process and materials ensure a beautiful, lasting finish at a fraction of the cost of buying all new cabinetry. We have painted our own cabinets, and have small children; they have lasted through all normal wear and use. 99% of our clients have relayed the same experience; with less than 1% reporting an issues with their paint. It is important to remember that chipping is an sign of wear and use; if the paint or the process were failing, it would be coming off in sheets across all areas of the kitchen. We have never experienced this.
Do you offer a warranty?
Because paint chips are typically environmental and simply a sign of every day use, we do not offer a specific warranty. That being said, please reach out if you are having any issues with a recently finished project; we are more than helpful and accommodating - a happy customer is our #1 priority.
How can I prevent chips on my newly painted cabinets?
There are several ways to prevent wear on your new kitchen. Even your older wood-colored cabinets get wear, it's just much easier to see on a lighter, painted surface. For starters, always install drawers pulls or knobs on painted cabinets and USE THEM! Changing your door opening habits will save the life of the paint tremendously. Also remember that the paint is still curing for up to 60 days, especially with the stronger enamels used. Do exercise caution for a little bit after the project is complete. If a chip does occur, dab some left over paint onto the area with a very small paint brush or q-tip. This will keep it from spreading with continued contact.
