5 Questions To Consider When Painting Cabinetry Skip to main content

Are you looking for a sign that it’s time to update your kitchen cabinets? Well, here’s your sign. Whether you’re updating an older home or just didn’t love the cabinets that came with your new home, cabinetry painting can help you achieve a top-tier finish that breathes life into your kitchen. To ensure your project meets the highest standards of quality and durability, here are five crucial questions to consider before embarking on your cabinet painting journey.

  1. What is the Best Preparation Process for Painting Cabinetry?

Preparation is key to achieving a long-lasting, professional finish on your cabinets. Unlike ordinary surfaces, cabinets require meticulous cleaning, sanding, and priming. At Priority Painting, we use the Surf-Prep sanding system to ensure a smooth, durable base before applying paint. During a Priority Painting & Finishes Consultation, we’ll walk you through our comprehensive preparation process to guarantee the best results, and to establish a better understanding of the timeline.

  1. Which Paint and Finish Should You Choose for Cabinets?

Selecting the right paint and finish is essential for cabinets, which endure frequent use and exposure to moisture. Priority Painting & Finishes recommends high-quality 2k polyurethane coatings such as Renner and Centurion. These non-flammable, durable coatings provide superior protection against wear and tear. During your Priority Painting & Finishes Consultation, we’ll help you choose the perfect finish, whether it’s a satin or semi-gloss sheen, to complement your kitchen’s aesthetic.  Our recommendations will depend on your cabinets and their existing finish.  We want to be sure you’re 100% pleased with the look and durability.

  1. Should You Remove Cabinet Doors and Drawers for Painting?

For a flawless finish, it’s crucial to remove cabinet doors and drawers before painting. At Priority Painting & Finishes, we never spray or paint the doors and drawers in place. Instead, we carefully remove and number each, allowing for an ideal application in a controlled environment. This ensures that every surface receives a consistent, high-quality coat of paint. Our team will discuss this process during your consultation with Priority Painting & Finishes, ensuring you’re fully informed and confident in our approach. 

  1. What Steps Are Taken to Protect Your Kitchen During the Painting Process?

Protecting your kitchen and appliances during the cabinet painting process is paramount. Once doors and drawers have been carefully removed and numbered, we cover every surface with paper or plastic masking to prevent damage. Our team sets up a temporary spray booth in your kitchen for approximately two days, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily routine. With Priority Painting & Finishes, you can trust that your kitchen will be returned to its original state, looking better than ever. During your consultation, we’ll outline all the measures we take to safeguard your home.

  1. How Do You Ensure a Smooth and Durable Finish on Cabinets?

Achieving a smooth and durable finish requires the right equipment and techniques. Priority Painting & Finishes prefers spraying cabinets, as it provides the most professional finish. We use top-notch equipment and paint products like Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane and Benjamin Moore’s Cabinet Coat. Our meticulous approach to sanding and priming ensures your cabinets not only look stunning but also stand the test of time. Ask about our process during your consultation to learn how we achieve such exceptional results.
