What’s Included in a Cabinet Painting Project by Deco Plus Painting?

At Deco Plus Painting, we understand the importance of proper preparation for a successful cabinet painting project. Our goal is to deliver high-quality results while minimizing disruption to your home. Here’s what you can expect during a cabinet painting project with us:

Preparation and Setup

Before we start, it’s important that you remove all small appliances, food items, and personal belongings from countertops and the general work area. Large appliances like stoves and dishwashers can be left in place.

We will need adequate space for our work area, which can be set up inside your home or in your garage. We’ll ensure the surrounding areas are properly protected to avoid any damage.

Our preparation steps include:

Covering floors, walls, and surrounding areas with plastic sheeting.
Setting up prep and spray racks.
Removing cabinet doors and drawer fronts.
Taking off existing hardware and filling holes if new hardware will be installed.
Scrubbing and degreasing cabinets using Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) solution.
Repairing any minor scrapes or blemishes with wood putty.
Sanding surfaces to improve primer adhesion.
Applying latex caulk to fill gaps and cracks.

Why Choose Cabinet Painting?

Painting your cabinets is a cost-effective way to give your kitchen and bathrooms a fresh, updated look. Not only is it less expensive than replacing cabinets, but it also offers a high-impact transformation. With an array of trending colors to choose from, painting can completely change the vibe of your space.

Additionally, installing new hardware (such as knobs and pulls) can further enhance the look of your cabinets and add a modern touch.

On-Site Work to Avoid Damage

At Deco Plus Painting, we perform all cabinet work on-site. Unlike transporting doors and drawer fronts, which can lead to damage, completing the work on-site ensures that everything stays safe and secure.

Priming and Painting Process

Our team uses airless spray equipment, along with brushing and rolling techniques, to achieve a professional, smooth finish. The process includes:

Priming: All cabinets and components are primed to ensure proper adhesion of the paint.
Sanding: We sand surfaces between coats to ensure smooth finishes and better adhesion.
First Coat: After priming, we apply the first coat of polyurethane in the color you’ve chosen.
Top Coat: Once the first coat has dried, we apply a final top coat of polyurethane for a durable, long-lasting finish.

After these steps, your cabinet painting project will be complete!

Drying and Curing Times

Drying: After painting, the cabinets need 12 hours to dry to the touch.
Curing: Full curing takes about 14 days, allowing the finish to harden completely for long-term durability.

Reinstallation and Cleanup

Once the paint has fully dried, we will:

Reinstall all doors, drawer fronts, and any removed appliances (unless otherwise requested).
Remove all construction materials and clean up the work area.
Vacuum or sweep the floors to leave your space looking tidy.

If you wish, we can also install new hardware (knobs and pulls) at a rate of $7 each. This includes marking and drilling new holes, and installing the hardware. Please note that purchasing the hardware is the customer’s responsibility, and we charge $5 for each hole we need to fill from old hardware.

Protecting Your New Cabinets

Your cabinets are finished with a premium polyurethane coating. To maintain the quality of the finish:

Avoid using chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or harsh cleaning pads on the painted surfaces.
Clean spills or splashes promptly with a damp, soft cloth to maintain the appearance and durability of the coating.

Customer Satisfaction Guarantee

At Deco Plus Painting, we believe in ensuring your complete satisfaction with every project. Once the work is complete, we will do a final walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets your expectations.

We accept various payment options, including cash, check, credit cards, PayPal, and Zelle. If you have any questions or concerns at any point during the process, please don’t hesitate to contact Julian at (702) 810-6537.
