Kitchen Cabinet Refresh Project

Posted on January 28, 2022

We all have been spending more time at home. The interior of our homes can take quite a beating with everyone spending so many hours in just a few rooms. Think about your kitchen cabinets. They are getting used a lot more than usual. This may cause bumps, dings and just plain old wear and tear to the cabinet’s surface and appearance.

So why not take this time and opportunity to take on some simple home improvement projects to make you feel better about staying home for so long? This can be an excellent time to complete some much needed renovations while you have the time & opportunity.

A relatively small project, like refreshing your kitchen cabinets can make your whole kitchen look brand new with very little effort from you if you call your CertaPro painters to help with the job.

We can help you affordably renew and revitalize one of the most used spaces in your home.

Planning Your Kitchen Cabinet Refresh Project with CertaPro

When planning a kitchen cabinet painting project, there are a few questions to start with:

What kind of shape are your cabinets in now?

What is the current finish on your cabinets?

This tends to be the most significant factor in determining the best preparation and painting approach. Is it high-gloss, or satin? Smooth, or textured / grained? Smooth and / or high-gloss surfaces should be sprayed (with components such as drawers and doors done either on- or off-site), which consists of multiple, exacting sanding and coating steps, in order to produce an optimal final finish. Conversely, lower sheen surfaces can often be rolled and brushed instead, reducing the total time and cost associated with the project.

What is the overall condition of the cabinet’s surface? –

Are they mostly smooth and solid, or heavily scratched up and nicked? Some materials and finishes can be repaired more easily than others, so this is something to discuss during an estimate appointment.

What is the overall condition of the hardware? –

Are there damaged or broken knobs or handles on your cabinets? What about sagging or ill-fitting doors? You may want to replace or adjust / repair certain elements in advance of or during the work, another consideration to discuss with your CertaPro painters during your estimate appointment.

What do you want?

If you are interested in a “face lift” of the door, drawer, and cabinet faces, this can help keep your project duration and cost down.

However, if you want to complete a more extensive project, the inclusion of interior faces, shelves, and cabinet cavities will address any accumulated scratches or other damage, as well as provide a consistent and “like new” overall look to your kitchen.

Painting the kitchen walls in conjunction with the cabinets can dramatically enhance the final result without adding too much to the overall project cost.

There is a wide range in terms of the cost of kitchen cabinet painting: A face lift for a smaller kitchen could start around $1,100, up to $ 3,500+ for spray painting of larger cabinet installations & painting the walls of your kitchen.

If you’d like to learn more about the optimal solution for your home, schedule an estimate with your preferred painting company to go over the specifics together.

Winter is a terrific time to do the work, when most companies offer greater scheduling flexibility…and as an added bonus, you can look forward to welcoming spring with a refreshed kitchen space!
