Our Premium Cabinet Finishes

We offer advanced coating systems tailored to your aesthetic preferences and kitchen usage:


1. Waterborne Alkyd Enamels


  • Ideal For: Modern home refinishing requiring low odor and low VOCs.
  • Performance: Combines the smooth leveling and extreme hardness of traditional oil paint with the yellowing resistance and quick drying of water-based coatings.


2. 2K Catalyzed Polyurethane


  • Ideal For: High-traffic kitchens, families with pets/kids, and maximum stain resistance around sinks and stoves.
  • Performance: A two-part coating system mixed with a hardener for an ultra-tough finish that resists scratches, skin oils, household cleaners, and moisture.

Our 7-Step Cabinet Refinishing Process

To guarantee an adhesion strength that won't chip or peel, we follow a rigorous preparation and spray process:


  1. Disassembly & Masking: We carefully mark, remove, and transport door and drawer fronts to our spray shop. Your cabinet interiors, appliances, flooring, and countertops are fully masked off and sealed.
  2. Create a tented and ventilated surrounding around the space where the work is being done to help keep dust and fumes away from other areas of your home.
  3. Deep Degreasing: Kitchen cabinets accumulate cooking grease and hand oils. We thoroughly scrub all surfaces with specialized degreasers and wax removers.
  4. Sanding & Surface Repair: Surfaces are mechanically sanded to create a profile for paint bonding. Dents, gouges, and wood imperfections are filled and smoothed.
  5. Adhesion Priming: We apply high-adhesion stain-blocking primers (such as shellac or bonding primers) to seal the wood grain and ensure a permanent chemical bond. Inspect all areas for imperfections and address them before beginning the finish coating.
  6. Precision Spray Application: Doors, drawers, and frames receive multiple sprayapplied topcoats of fine-finish coating using HVLP/airless spray equipment for a flawless finish.
  7. Clean Up: Meticulously clean up when the painting is completed

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will painted cabinets last?

With proper surface preparation and professional cabinet coatings, a refinished kitchen can easily last 8 to 15+ years with basic maintenance.


Can you paint laminate or thermofoil cabinets?

Yes! Using specialized bonding primers engineered for non-porous surfaces, we can successfully refinish laminate, thermofoil, and MDF cabinets.



Do you spray doors in the house?

Occasionally we can spray door and drawer fronts on the job site by creating a wellventilated and dust-free environment to minimize dust and fumes. Also, when the job has many doors and drawer fronts, we will remove the parts and spray them off-site in a controlled environment. Cabinet boxes and face frames are masked and sprayed on-site with low-VOC coatings.
