Grease and smoke build up on kitchen cabinets and need to be addressed.
Why it matters: Painting or refinishing kitchen cabinets without the right prep is a waste of your resources.
Our painting expert Andrey puts it like this:
👀 All painting projects start with prep. If your house is not protected like the criminal scenes from Dexter, you should fire your painter, go do it NOW!
- Cabinet painting is one of the most delicate paint jobs you will come across inside your house. To achieve a desired result, everything should be done right from start to finish.
📝 Degreasing, sanding and priming
- Degrease surfaces where oils have built up to get good adhesion.
- Follow with sanding, priming and more sanding to ensure the surface is smooth for a desirable finish.
- The only way to get your cabinets painted is by spraying. Brushing or rolling will leave brush strokes and roller marks.
✅ For your Smart Homeowner list
- Take a minute to look closely at your kitchen cabinets when you have bright daylight.
- When it’s time to refinish, be ready to spend more money on this project to get it done right.
Best,
Travis
