Our Cabinet Painting Process
1.
Door & Drawer Removal
We carefully remove all cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware, labeling each piece for precise reinstallation. This ensures a smooth, even finish on all surfaces.
2.
Degreasing & Cleaning
We deep-clean all surfaces to remove oils, residue, and buildup so primers and coatings bond perfectly.
3.
Repairs, Caulking & Sanding
We repair dents, gaps, and imperfections, then sand each surface to create a smooth, uniform foundation for exceptional paint adhesion.
4.
Adhesion Primer Application
A high-bonding primer is applied to lock down stains and provide a strong base for the topcoat — essential for long-lasting durability.
5.
Fine-Spray Finish (HVLP)
Cabinet doors and drawers are sprayed professionally for a smooth, factory-grade finish with no brush strokes or roller texture.
6.
Curing & Hardening
We allow the coating to properly cure, creating a durable, washable, long-lasting finish designed for daily use.
7.
Reinstallation & Hardware
Doors, drawers, and hardware are reinstalled with care. We can install new hardware if you’re updating the look.
8.
Final Walkthrough
We perform a final inspection with you to ensure every detail meets our quality standards.

Cabinet Painting FAQ
Have questions about cabinet painting? Here are the most common things Delaware homeowners ask us before beginning a project. If you need more details, we’re always happy to help.
How long does cabinet painting take?
Most kitchens are completed in 3–5 days, depending on size and condition. Our process includes full prep, priming, fine-spray finishing, and proper curing, all while keeping disruptions to a minimum.
How durable is the finish?
We use premium urethane enamel coatings like Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane or Benjamin Moore Advance. These products cure into a hard, furniture-grade finish designed to last 8–10 years or more with normal use.
Do I need to empty my cabinets before painting?
Only the cabinets being painted on the interior need to be emptied. If we are only painting the exterior frames and doors, most items can stay in place — we’ll let you know exactly what to expect during scheduling.
Will there be a strong paint smell?
No. We use low-odor, low-VOC materials along with proper ventilation. Most homeowners notice very little smell during or after the project.
Can you paint laminate or previously finished cabinets?
Yes — as long as the surface is structurally sound. We use specialized degreasers, sanding methods, and bonding primers that allow us to properly prepare and finish laminate, factory-finished, or previously painted cabinets.
How long before I can use my cabinets again?
Cabinets can be gently used within 24–48 hours. Full hardness occurs over 7–14 days, which is normal for high-quality urethane finishes and ensures long-lasting durability.
