The Textbook Way

For Your Cabinets

We always aim to do things the “textbook” way. (Hence our name!) It is important to make sure the proper process is followed or the paint won’t last. It is easy to make cabinets look good at first, the real key is making sure to do it the right way so the painted cabinets in your Cleveland, OH home look great in 5 or 10 years!

Cabinet Painting Prep Work

The first step is to remove doors and drawer fronts as well as all hardware. We then protect all of the surfaces in the kitchen such as the countertops, floors, and appliances. We also set up the kitchen for spray painting by putting up plastic walls, bringing in mobile ventilation, and masking off all of the cabinet openings. The surfaces require thorough cleaning with a degreaser. Then the existing coating will need a light sanding to remove any gloss or varnish. Paint will not stick to a slick or shiny surface. We have invested thousands of dollars in dustless sanding equipment to give the absolute best result.

Priming the Cabinets for Paint

After wiping down the cabinets and doors, we are ready to prime. We will use a primer that is specifically designed for cabinets. On oak cabinets, we add an additional coat of primer that is applied with special rollers to work the primer into the wood grain. While we can not fill all of the wood grain on oak cabinets, this step is necessary to give the best results.

Finally, we apply two coats of a top-quality product called 2k Polyurethane. We purchase this product, which is imported from Italy because it is the gold standard for fine wood and cabinet finishing and works well with our climate here near Cleveland, Ohio. It is the standard in Europe where environmental standards are more stringent than in the USA and we want to use the best product in your home that we can.

All cabinet doors and drawer fronts are brought back to our shop in Lakewood to be sprayed with a special sprayer so they get a smooth, durable finish just like you would expect with brand-new cabinets. The actual cabinets are painted on-site in your kitchen either with brushes and roller or with a sprayer depending on your preferences.

Best of all, our premium cabinet painting services are backed with our Lifetime Touch-up promise to make sure they look beautiful for years and years to come! (For as long as you own your Cleveland-area home.)

Hardware and Soft-Close Hinges

What a Difference!

Kids slamming the cabinet doors are right up there with nails on the chalkboard. We can fix that and for most customers, it is a lot less expensive than you might think. Often, on cabinets that are less than 20 years old, we can add soft-close hinges to all of the doors without needing to do any carpentry work.

While we’re at it, you probably want to change out the handles. We can even add handles if there currently aren’t any! We have the jigs and special equipment to change the cabinets to whatever style of hardware you would like. The possibilities are endless!
