Cabinet Painting

Step-by-Step Process for Cabinet Painting at Wicked Awesome Home Services

At Wicked Awesome Home Services, we specialize in delivering flawless cabinet painting services that will transform your kitchen, bathroom, or any cabinetry into a stunning feature of your home. As a licensed and insured company, we use only the best products, including Sherwin Williams Gallery Series Paint, to ensure a smooth, durable, and professional finish. To achieve the highest quality, we take all cabinet doors and drawers back to our location for precise, expert work. Here’s our detailed step-by-step process:

1. Disassembly and Removal of Doors and Drawers

We begin by carefully removing all cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware. This step ensures that we can focus on painting each piece individually for a superior finish. We label and organize all hardware, such as handles and hinges, to ensure everything is easily reassembled once the painting is complete. All doors and drawers are then transported back to our location, where we will work in a controlled environment to provide the best results.

2. Surface Preparation and Sanding

Once the doors and drawers are removed, we begin by sanding all surfaces to ensure that the paint adheres properly. Sanding is a crucial step to smooth out any imperfections, remove old finishes, and create a texture that allows the new paint to bond seamlessly. We use a combination of power sanders and hand sanding for hard-to-reach areas, making sure every inch is prepped correctly for the next steps.

3. Filling Holes and Dents

Next, we carefully inspect the doors and drawers for any holes, dents, or imperfections. Whether it’s from previous hardware or natural wear, we fill these areas with high-quality wood filler. After the filler has dried, we sand the areas down to make them completely smooth and level with the rest of the surface. This ensures that there are no visible flaws when the final paint coat is applied.

4. Priming the Cabinets

After the sanding and filling process, we apply a high-quality primer to all cabinet surfaces. Priming is essential as it helps seal the wood, provides an even base for the paint, and improves adhesion. It also ensures the durability of the final finish and prevents stains or tannin bleed-through. Our team uses a bonding primer that is specifically designed to create a smooth, flawless surface, perfect for topcoats of premium paint.

5. Sanding Again for a Smooth Finish

Once the primer is dry, we conduct a light sanding to smooth out any imperfections and ensure the surface is even. This second round of sanding is important as it helps eliminate any raised fibers, rough patches, or debris that may have appeared during the priming stage. We focus on creating an ultra-smooth surface that will allow the final coat of paint to go on smoothly and evenly.

6. Spraying Three Coats of Sherwin Williams Gallery Series Paint

Once the cabinet surfaces are prepped and sanded to perfection, we begin the spraying process. We apply three coats of Sherwin Williams Gallery Series Paint, a premium paint specifically formulated for cabinetry. Using professional-grade sprayers, we ensure each coat is applied evenly to create a smooth, factory-like finish. The sprayers help achieve flawless coverage with no brush marks or streaks, even in intricate details and corners.

Each coat is allowed to dry properly before applying the next, ensuring maximum adhesion and durability. The three layers of paint provide a rich, vibrant finish while adding a layer of protection against wear and tear.

7. Reassembly and Final Touches

After the final coat of paint has dried, we carefully reassemble your cabinet doors and drawers. We reinstall all hardware, ensuring everything is aligned and securely attached. We then check the finish, making any necessary touch-ups to ensure a smooth, flawless appearance. Our team pays attention to every detail, ensuring that the cabinet doors and drawers open and close perfectly and that the finish is consistent across all surfaces.
