Repainting Your Kitchen Cabinets with CertaPro Painters
Posted on November 30, 2021
Like many homeowners evaluating their renovation options, you may be thinking of repainting your kitchen cabinets – this can be a great way to affordably renew and revitalize one of the most used spaces in your home.
When planning a kitchen cabinet painting project, you can think of the exercise in terms of two key questions – what are you starting with, and what do you want to end up with?
What are you starting with?
What is the current surface finish? – This is 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 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 surfaces?
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? Sagging or ill-fitting doors? You may want to replace certain elements in advance of or during the work.
A “face lift” of the door, drawer, and cabinet faces can help keep the project duration and cost down.
However, if you include interior faces, shelves, and cabinet cavities this will address any accumulated scratches or other damage, as well as provide a consistent and “like new” overall look.
Also, painting the kitchen walls in conjunction with the cabinets can dramatically enhance the final result without adding much to the overall cost.
The cost of kitchen cabinet painting varies greatly: A face lift for a smaller kitchen could start around $1,100, up to $ 3,500+ for spray painting of larger cabinet installations.
If you’d like to learn more about a great solution for your home, schedule an estimate with your preferred painting company.
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!
