Cabinet refinishing can dramatically update a kitchen while keeping the existing layout. The result depends on cleaning, preparation, priming and controlled application—not ordinary wall paint.
- Doors and drawer fronts
- Cabinet frames
- Degreasing and sanding
- Bonding primer
- Durable enamel finish
- Careful reassembly
A Controlled Process
Built for daily use.
We use cabinet-appropriate materials and a repeatable process designed for adhesion, smoothness and durability.
Prime
Prepared surfaces receive a compatible bonding or stain-blocking primer.
Finish
Professional cabinet enamel creates a smooth, washable surface.
Prep & Products
Cabinet coatings built for daily kitchen use.
Cabinets fail when grease and old finish aren’t cleaned off, or when ordinary wall paint is used as a topcoat. Our process starts with degreasing and sanding, then a bonding or oil primer matched to the surface, then Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel.
We check the work between coats so runs, thin spots and rough areas are fixed before the next coat. The same controlled process covers doors, drawer fronts and frames in Gainesville, Buford, Braselton, Flowery Branch and nearby kitchens.
Color is confirmed with you before enamel is ordered, including two-tone kitchens with a darker island and lighter perimeter cabinets when that is the look you want.
- Degreasing and sanding
- Bonding or oil primer
- Emerald Urethane enamel
- Doors and drawer fronts off
- Labeled hardware
- Checks between coats
Common Questions
Cabinet painting questions from Gainesville homeowners.
Is cabinet refinishing a good alternative to replacement?
Yes, when the cabinet boxes and layout are structurally sound. You keep the kitchen you already have and get a fresh finish. If the boxes are damaged or the layout no longer works, we’ll tell you at the estimate that a remodel may be the better route.
Can you paint over stained cabinets?
Often, yes. We evaluate the existing finish and wood so the right cleaning, sanding and primer can be specified. Dark wood or heavy stain may need a stain-blocking primer before the enamel goes on.
What products do you use on cabinets?
We use Sherwin-Williams cabinet coatings, including Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel over a bonding or oil primer suited to the surface. Your proposal lists the primer, the enamel and the number of coats.
Do you remove the doors and drawers?
Yes. Doors and drawer fronts come off for cleaning, sanding, priming and finishing, then go back on carefully after the coating has cured enough to handle. Hardware is bagged and labeled so everything returns to the right place.
Can we use the kitchen while cabinets are being refinished?
We plan the schedule with you at the walkthrough. Work is staged so you know which cabinets are offline each day, and we keep the area covered and organized. Full access returns once the finish is ready.
