Our Step To Step Process

Step 1: Disassembly

Remove Cabinet Doors and Drawers:

• • Use a screwdriver or drill to carefully remove all cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware (hinges, knobs, and handles).
  • Label each door and drawer with tape and a marker to ensure easy reassembly. Place the corresponding hardware in labeled bags.

Step 2: Cleaning

Clean Surfaces:

• • Clean all doors, drawers, and frames with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent or degreaser to remove any grease, dirt, and grime.
  • Rinse with water and dry thoroughly.

Step 3: Sanding (First Pass)

Initial Sanding:

• • Use medium-grit sandpaper to sand the surfaces of the doors and drawers. This helps to remove the old finish and rough up the surface for better primer adhesion.
  • Wipe away sanding dust with a damp cloth and let dry.

Step 4: Priming

Apply Primer:

• • Apply a coat of primer to all sanded surfaces. Use a paint sprayer for a smooth and even application.
  • Allow the primer to dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 5: Sanding (Second Pass)

Fine Sanding:

• • Once the primer is dry, sand the surfaces again with fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out any imperfections and prepare for the final coat of paint.
  • Wipe away any sanding dust with a damp cloth and let dry.

Step 6: Painting

Spray Paint with Oil-Based Lacquer:

• • Use a paint sprayer to apply a coat of oil-based lacquer paint to all primed surfaces. Apply thin, even coats to avoid drips and achieve a smooth finish.
  • Allow each coat to dry completely before applying additional coats as needed for full coverage.

Step 7: On-Site Painting

On-Site Painting:

• • While the doors and drawers are being painted, send in a professional painter to paint the cabinet frames on-site.

Step 8: Reassembly

Reassemble Cabinet Doors and Drawers:

• • Once all painted surfaces are completely dry, reattach the hardware to the doors and drawers.
  • Rehang the doors and slide the drawers back into place according to the labels.
