Cabinet Painting & Refinishing

We repaint existing, worn kitchen cabinets for our Kalamazoo area customers who want a brand-new looking kitchen without the huge expense of buying new cabinets.

Our process includes:

  • Removing the hardware and cleaning the cabinets.
  • Sanding and cleaning the cabinets.
  • Caulking any open seams in the cabinets.
  • Applying an oil base primer and two coats of a durable 100% acrylic satin enamel finish to all surfaces
  • Doors and drawers are taken to our shop to be sprayed. Our spray equipment provides an incredibly smooth, durable finish. The cabinet framework is brushed in place.
  • We can usually reinstall the doors and drawers within 5 to 7 days.

Your old oak or maple cabinets can be transformed to a brand new appearance. The finish is silky smooth and durable.

This same process can be used for furniture, older cabinets, kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, railing systems, doors, paneling, etc.

We guarantee you’ll be amazed at the transformation of your old cabinets.

Interior Painting/Paper Hanging Checklist

  • Thoroughly cover to protect your furniture and belongings.
  • Floors with clean drop cloths.
  • Furniture with new, clean plastic drop cloths.
  • Cover doorways to adjoining rooms to contain dust.
  • Inspect all ceilings and walls for cracks, holes and loose paint. Patch with the appropriate compound, sand patches to smooth out all edges and spot prime. Vacuum any dust created by sanding.
  • Remove all hardware before painting woodwork.
  • Remove loose paint from woodwork, sand all woodwork, prime any bare wood, caulk any open seams and remove all dust before enameling.
  • Inspect all surfaces before finish coating begins.
  • Request customer approval of finish coat colors before applying them.
  • Apply primer/sizing before installing wallpaper. Sizing will be tinted to match background color of paper to minimize visibility of seams.
  • Check all wallpaper upon completion to inspect for loose seams, bubbles and paste film.
  • Upon completion, our lead painter will walk through the job with you to ensure that all surfaces are painted to your satisfaction.

Exterior Painting Checklist

  • Wash any dirty, dusty surfaces to ensure adhesion of new paint. Mildewed surfaces should be washed with bleach solution.
  • Thoroughly cover to protect from paint splatters all sidewalks, bushes, roofs, patio furniture, fixtures, hardware, screens, etc.
  • When scraping peeling surfaces, always “feather sand” rough surfaces to soften edges and promote adhesion of new coatings.
  • Patch or caulk any holes, cracks in siding, and open joints around window casings. Apply primer to patches, caulk and any exposed wood.
  • Always apply finish coats according to manufacturers’ specifications without thinning.
  • Store ladders and equipment in area convenient to you.
  • Our lead painter will walk the property with you upon completion to ensure your satisfaction.
  • Clean up and remove any debris created by our work.
