Why Refinish Instead of Replace?

Our cabinet painting process
How We Paint Kitchen Cabinets
A smooth, durable sprayed finish comes from prep and spraying, not from an extra coat of paint. These are the steps on every cabinet painting job — photos from a real Waxhaw kitchen.
-
Containment up, doors off and stacked — Waxhaw kitchen 01Remove, label & contain
Doors, drawers and hinges come off and get numbered, so every piece goes back exactly where it was. A containment tent goes up around the work area.
- 02
Degrease & clean
Grease left in the grain is what makes cabinet paint peel, so every surface is degreased before any sanding starts.
- 03
Sand, fill & repair
Surfaces are sanded to open adhesion and dings are filled. On open-grain oak we grain-fill so the texture doesn't telegraph through the paint.
-
Everything masked, frames sprayed in place 04Mask & bonding primer
Counters, floors, appliances and walls go under film. A bonding primer matched to your surface goes on every face.
-
Doors on the drying rack between coats 05Spray finish
Doors and drawer fronts are sprayed on drying racks; frames are sprayed in place. HVLP spray, not brush and roller.
- 06
Cure & reassemble
Coats get proper flash and cure time before hardware goes back on. Doors are re-hung, aligned, and we walk the kitchen with you.
Your coating system, in writing
Before work starts, your written estimate names the exact system — not just "premium paint".
- Primer
- Bonding primer matched to your surface (e.g. a shellac-based stain blocker on oak)
- Topcoat
- Waterborne cabinet enamel, conversion varnish, or a UV-cured finish system
- Application
- HVLP spray
- Coats & cure
- Specified per project in your scope
Warranty, before you book
3-year warranty on UV-cured cabinet finishes · 6-month workmanship warranty on standard painting.
Covered
Peeling, flaking, blistering or adhesion failure caused by a prep or application defect.
Not covered
Impact or abrasion damage, water intrusion, structural movement, chemical abuse.
Not every kitchen should be painted. If thermofoil is lifting or doors are warped or water-damaged, we'll tell you honestly — and what makes more sense. Want to keep the wood look? That's cabinet refinishing, a separate process.
