Kitchen Cabinet Painting Process

Posted on January 5, 2023 by Scott Bardash

It seems now more than ever, the family kitchen is the true heart of our home! We spend time together in the kitchen cooking, eating, entertaining – and in the process, we add the life to our homes. Over time, some of that life and love can wear on your cabinets and you may be looking at options to update your kitchen. Instead of a full kitchen renovation, many people look at the kitchen cabinet painting process as a more affordable option that can still make a huge impact in your home!

You may have looked at how to paint kitchen cabinets yourself and thought about tackling the project on your own. If you’re handy and have the proper tools, this may be an option for you. If you’re like many of us, though, this may be a job better left to the professionals! Our painters have years of experience doing this exact project – and our results speak for themselves! Here’s a quick behind-the-scenes look at our process for painting kitchen cabinets:

 

We come to you to put together a free quote

A top question is always “how much does it cost to have my kitchen cabinets painted?” and the best way for us to answer that is to come take a look and put together a free cabinet painting quote for you. Every kitchen is different, and we want to give you the price that you will pay. Some cabinets will take more prep work, have more panels and trim, or intricate details, while others are more simple and take less time. Our quotes are all-inclusive and we detail exactly what that price covers. No surprises or hidden fees, it’s all taken care of!

 

Choosing a kitchen cabinet color

Are you painting your kitchen cabinets a classic white? Maybe a modern black? Moody blue? We have done it all! Browse Instagram, Pinterest, Sherwin-Williams and everywhere else for inspiration. Then just show us your dream color and let’s talk about how we can make it happen!

Not sure what color to paint? We’ve got you covered there, too! Many of our kitchen cabinet painting projects qualify for a free color consultation with an interior designer specializing in color. If you’ve ever tried to pick a shade of white, you’ll know how overwhelming that can be. We’ve seen these colors in action and are happy to guide you to the best color for kitchen cabinets in your home!

 

Getting started

Before we begin, we will walk the project with you and verify all of the details and answer any questions.

As with all painting, the quality of the finish is based on the prep work. Our painters will start by protecting your kitchen from any paint splatters or overspray. Anything not getting painted will be covered. We also will set up a temporary spray booth, typically in your garage.

 

Painting

The process for painting and products used will depend on a lot of factors, as each kitchen is unique. When we make your quote, we will customize the process for your kitchen so that you don’t pay for anything you don’t need. A typical kitchen may have the following steps:

  • We remove cabinet doors and drawers, and all hardware. We then take these to the temporary spray booth in your garage to be painted.
  • Next we lightly sand as needed for paint adhesion.
  • Lines and seams are caulked where needed.
  • Often, we need to use a spray primer. This is typically an oil based primer. Oil based primer does a great job of sealing the surface of the wood, allowing the paint to cover better.
  • Most cabinets will now have two coats of paint sprayed. What paint is best for painting kitchen cabinets? Well, it depends! Over the years, we have selected certain paints that perform better in various situations. If you’re painting a dark color, we may suggest using a different product than if you’re painting the cabinets white.
  • Through the process, our painters and Quality Managers will perform numerous quality inspections to make sure everything looks great.
  • Now it’s time to put everything back together, and clean up your beautifully refreshed kitchen!

How long does it take to paint kitchen cabinets?

Our process typically takes 3-4 days, depending on the size of the kitchen and the work needed. Our team is always mindful that we are entering your home as guests, so we will treat your house even better than our own! We will do our best to stay out of your way, keep your home and as much of your kitchen as usable as possible throughout the project.

Updating with Shiplap? Need it painted?

Posted on April 30, 2022 by Scott Bardash

Isn’t it great when you know a Guy?? This Indianapolis homeowner has been thrilled with our professional painting team in the past, we have done exterior painting and wood replacement for them and for their neighborhood for many years. When it came time to paint some interior woodwork and walls, they knew just the painters to call!

Painting over wood paneling and shiplap takes some additional prep and work, and is a more specialized type of painting than just painting a wall. Our team of professional painters has the experience to do this and get the results that you are looking for. Our quality team will fully manage the process so all you have to do is enjoy your freshly painted home!

Painting the Kitchen Island

In the kitchen, they wanted their kitchen island painted. They had installed some wood panels of shiplap over the island, and decided they wanted it painted black to match the cabinets.

As always, our team of painters and supervisors set to work to match the color. Sometimes we do not know the name of the color that we are matching, but we have the knowledge and tools to properly match an existing color. These black cabinets required a custom matched color, but that is never a problem for our team!

Painting Newly Updated Shiplap Sunroom

The sunroom had new wood paneling to be painted. With help from one of our color consultants, the homeowner chose a popular warmer gray, SW 7029 Agreeable Gray. The new modern colors make the room extra bright!

Painting Wood Paneling  – Ship lap look in the Hallway

 

We love the way these doors were built in to the wood paneling in the hallway. We love it even more now that it has been painted a beautiful bright white!

If you’re looking for a guy for your next painting project, give us a call and talk to our expert painters and see how we can help you. Now you know a Guy, too!

Another fantastic Cabinet Painting 🎨 – By Guy Painting

Posted on May 18, 2021 by Ron Jones

Here is another fantastic Cabinet Painting job by Guy Painting!

The Reed’s kitchen cabinets were getting worn and they started to look in to updating them and the kitchen to their taste.  After weighing the options and costs they decided on painting them.  They found it was more cost effective then replacement and a lot less headache and hassle as well.

The Reeds began looking for a company they could trust to do a good job and wanted a job that looked factory finished and would ware well over the years.  After looking online, Angie’s List, and on the NextDoor App – one company kept coming up with great recommendations and  reviews.  GUY PAINTING!

From the time they met with Alltus, they knew that Guy Painting was a step above the competition, and found the pricing to be fair, so, the Reeds got signed up for the project to start the next month.

We started on time and the customer was impressed with the prep work and the amount of time and care that we took in protecting their home. They spoke about the amount of tape, paper, and time.  They also commented on how the guys worked nonstop with purpose and efficiency.

As we wrapped up, the Mrs. Reed made several comments on the projects: “finish was so smooth”, “factory finished look”  and “made the cabinets look like new”.

The Reeds told us they were happy with the communication and service from start to finish.

We are very thankful to have worked with the Reeds and super proud of the finished job and the customers satisfaction!

Cabinet Painting – Guy Painting

Posted on May 30, 2018 by Ron Jones

  Cabinet Painting

Guy Painting did 50+ cabinet painting jobs!

Cabinet Painting is all about the Prep Work, Application, & Material.

We can spend 8+ hours prepping a cabinet painting  job.

Removing all of the doors, drawers, hardware and some appliances.  Masking off floors, walls, the rest of the appliances, and windows.  Taping and masking the countertop, backsplash, inside of the cabinets, and in some situations putting up plastic walls and plastic off the room & entry doors.  Sanding the surfaced to be painted – light sand for adhesion.  Wiping down all surfaces to remove dust. Then priming (with the correct primer) caulking (with the correct caulk) all of the joints and seams, caulking the crown (if it has it), caulking to the walls (if painting walls).     We try to do all of that and any surprises in the just the 1st day…

 

Then starts the painting, 1 to 2 days.  Light sand any rough spots, re-prime if needed.  We paint using the correct material for cabinet painting (which can change, based on type of cabinet, color, and type of primer you had to use). Depending on color and material, this can take 2-4 coats to cover and look B-E-A-UTIFUL!

Last day is put back together, install doors and drawers, hardware, new closing pads, and clean up.

THEN ENJOY!We do try to spray, in most cases, to have the factory smooth finish.  If the wood grain can be felt before painting then it will also show though when your spray them.  I think that is what makes them look like customer painted cabinets, higher end than a lesser quality smooth cabinet.
