Cabinet Painting
Clean, prime and recoat cabinet doors, drawers and frames for a smooth, durable finish.
Overview
Cabinet painting changes the look of a kitchen or bath for a fraction of replacing it. The work is in the prep: degreasing, light sanding, priming a bonding base and spraying multiple coats for a smooth, durable finish.
Doors and drawers come down, get labeled and are finished in a controlled setup, then rehung and adjusted.
