our cabinet painting process

At John Kapenga Painting, we follow a proven process to deliver the best results for your cabinet painting job:

detailed prep work

Every successful project starts with proper preparation. Our team begins by cleaning the cabinets to remove grease and grime. Next, we lightly sand the surfaces to help the paint adhere better. For cabinet doors and drawers, we use a tack cloth to remove fine dust, ensuring a clean surface for painting.

We also handle any necessary repairs, such as filling small dents or scratches. This step creates the perfect foundation for a flawless and smoother finish.

removing cabinet doors and drawers

To achieve professional results, we carefully remove cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware. This allows us to paint every surface evenly and ensures the cabinet frames, upper cabinets, and interiors are fully coated.

priming for durability

Applying a primer is a key step in our painting process. For wood cabinets, we use an oil- or latex-based bonding primer to seal the surface and prevent stains or old colors from showing through. This step also helps ensure the topcoat adheres properly, extending the life of your cabinets.

applying a fresh coat of paint

We apply multiple coats of high-quality paint to create a durable and attractive finish. Depending on the look you want, we offer various types of paint, including oil-based paints for a tough, long-lasting finish and latex paints for easy cleanup and low fumes.

Each layer is applied with care, allowing for proper dry time between coats. This meticulous approach ensures even coverage and a professional-grade finish.

Reassembly and Final Touches

Once the paint has fully cured, we reassemble the cabinet doors and drawers with precision, ensuring proper alignment and function. Finally, we inspect the completed work to make sure every detail is perfect.

what types of paint are best for cabinets?

The type of paint used plays a critical role in achieving a durable and attractive finish. Here’s what we recommend:

New construction kitchen painted with latex based paint in cream and dark blue

latex paints

Ideal for low-odor projects and easy cleanup. Latex paints dry quickly and are a great option for most cabinets.

oil-based paints

Known for their durability and smooth finish, oil-based paints are excellent for high-traffic areas but take longer to dry.
