There are a number of different ways to add value to your home. One of the easiest and most affordable upgrades is to hire a painting contractor to add new life to your old kitchen cabinets. Cabinet painting, like deck staining in Arvada, is more cost-effective than a total replacement.
While a number of painting jobs can be completed easily by the homeowner, it is best that cabinet work is done by a professional painting contractor for the best results. At Mountain Skyline Painting cabinets are sprayed whenever possible, which provides the best possible finish.
What is Involved in Cabinet Painting?
While each cabinet painting job needs to be individually assessed, the process is generally the same with all painting services. First, the cabinets are cleaned with Tri-Sodium Phosphate if necessary, to remove any built-up dirt or grease.
Next, the hardware, hinges, and doors are removed. Appliances and countertops are masked off, and the floor is covered for protection from paint overspray or splatter. In addition, the room may be sealed off by the residential painter with plastic in order to prevent the spreading of paint or dust to other areas of the home.
The painting contractor then thoroughly sands and dusts the cabinets. He or she will also repair any scratches or dents before spraying on a primer coat. Once again, the cabinets are sanded and dusted. Before another round of sanding and dusting, a split-coat of a primer and finish enamel mix is applied.
A final enamel coat goes on the bases of the cabinet. Often, an additional coat of paint is applied to the areas where wear and tear are more abundant, such as the drawers and doors.
An experienced painting contractor can complete a small to medium kitchen in about three days. Larger jobs may take up to five days. Cabinet painting is a wonderful way to give your home a whole new look. At Mountain Skyline Painting, we are trustworthy professionals that perform quality cabinet painting on every job.
