Usually, we will have a clear space in the garage or in the basement to do the work needed. There are occasions, where needed, that we will take the doors and drawers off site for completion.&#8221;]Onsite Completion[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;329163&#8243; subheading=&#8221;The most cost-effective painting method for cabinet painting is with a brush and roller with spraying as a more costly option. The brush and roller are the most popular methodology for us, where over 80% of clients opt for this methodology. The finish on the brush and roll projects is not factory finish but in our experience is only slightly less than that of the sprayed option. Both methods look great and would require a close-up inspection to see the actual difference in the finish.&#8221;]Our Method[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;173991&#8243;]Our Process[\/vc_custom_heading][uncode_list icon=&#8221;fa fa-check&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;color-mblue&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;861972&#8243; icon_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Remove all the hardware from doors and drawers<\/li>\n<li>Doors and drawers are placed in the work area (onsite or offsite)<\/li>\n<li>The drawers, doors and boxes are then sanded to buff the previous coating to prepare the surface for primer<\/li>\n<li>A coat of primer is then applied to all areas using a high adhesion primer such as BIN or Kilz.

In most cases two full finish coats are applied one side then the other side.<\/li>\n<li>Once the finish coats are completed and dried, we will reinstall the doors and drawers.<\/li>\n<li>Once everything is reinstalled new updated handles and knobs are put on. There are limitations for the selection of handles and knobs which must fit in the same configuration as the original hardware.<\/li>\n<li>This will complete the project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/uncode_list][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;496779&#8243; subheading=&#8221;A typical cupboard project takes 3 days for completion. The first day will be the removal and priming day and that day will have a strong odour in the work area that will dissipate quickly with good airflow. The painting of the finish coats will take approximately two days. Reinstalling of the doors and drawers as well as aligning these will occupy the final 2-4 hours.<\/p>\n<p>The painting of cabinets is a very cost-effective means of updating a kitchen. It is roughly about 10-20% of the cost of replacement and about 50% of the cost of refinishing or refacing.&#8221; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221; text_color_solid=&#8221;#ff0000&#8243;]Timelines[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_accordion typography=&#8221;advanced&#8221; sign=&#8221;plus&#8221; content_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_simple=&#8221;1&#8243; active_bg_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; radius=&#8221;lg&#8221; shadow=&#8221;lg&#8221; titles_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; titles_weight=&#8221;600&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;169311&#8243; active_tab=&#8221;1&#8243; active_bg_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; column_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; title=&#8221;How to pick the best colour for your painting project?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;efe01523-2776-61672670705839171575805340717424909250881742491758770&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;188833&#8243;]The selection of colours is made easy with Elite Trade Painting.
