Case Study: Kitchen Cabinet Refinishing in Princeton Junction, NJ
CertaPro Painters® of Mercer/Southern Middlesex, NJ
Transforming a Kitchen with Cabinet Painting in Princeton Junction, NJ
A kitchen serves as the heart of a home, and its design can greatly influence the overall atmosphere.
In Princeton Junction, a homeowner wanted to modernize their kitchen, but the original oak cabinets didn’t match the sleek aesthetic of the space.
Instead of replacing them, they opted for a professional cabinet painting service to achieve a high-end look without the high-end price.
CertaPro Painters® of Mercer/Southern Middlesex, NJ, took on the project in December 2024, delivering a smooth, factory-like finish.
By utilizing commercial-grade spraying techniques, we ensured a flawless transformation.
The result was a beautifully updated kitchen that felt fresh, modern, and cohesive with the rest of the home.
Project Overview
Location: Princeton Junction, NJ
Date: December 2024
Duration: 1 week
Project Type: Kitchen Cabinet Painting
CertaPro Painters® of Mercer/Southern Middlesex, NJ, helped a homeowner modernize their kitchen by refinishing their original oak cabinets. Our professional cabinet painting services not only refreshed the space but also provided a cost-effective alternative to cabinet replacement.
Initial Condition & Challenges
The homeowner’s kitchen featured its original oak wood cabinets, which contrasted with the otherwise modern design. The goal was to create a cohesive, updated aesthetic through cabinet painting. The process, however, required meticulous preparation and specialized techniques to ensure a factory-smooth finish.
A key challenge in this project was managing the workspace. Since cabinet refinishing can be messy, we carefully covered the entire kitchen to protect surfaces from overspray and debris. Additionally, we transported the cabinet doors and drawers to our temperature-controlled spray shop, where we could ensure optimal conditions for a flawless finish.
Project Execution
Step 1: Preparation & Protection
- Removed all cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware
- Covered and masked off all non-painted areas in the kitchen
- Thoroughly cleaned and sanded all cabinet surfaces
Step 2: Priming & Painting
- Applied a high-quality bonding primer to ensure strong adhesion
- Used a high-pressure commercial sprayer to achieve a factory-like finish
- Painted both sides of doors and drawers in our controlled spray shop
- Sprayed the cabinet frames on-site for a seamless look
Step 3: Finishing Touches & Reinstallation
- Allowed for proper drying time to prevent imperfections
- Reinstalled doors, drawers, and customer-selected hardware
- Conducted a final inspection to ensure a smooth, durable finish
Results & Impact
✔ Modernized Kitchen Aesthetic: The sleek, new cabinet finish transformed the space, making it feel bright and contemporary.
✔ Factory-Smooth Finish: Our commercial-grade spraying technique ensured a flawless, professional look.
✔ Cost-Effective Alternative to Replacement: The homeowner achieved a high-end transformation without the expense of new cabinetry.
The homeowner was thrilled with the results, noting how the fresh, modern cabinet finish perfectly complemented the rest of their kitchen design.
