Cabinet guide
Cabinet painting in St George should be judged on the finish system, not the promise.
A kitchen or bath cabinet repaint is usually a finish-control job. Ask about degreasing, sanding, primer compatibility, spray expectations, cure time, and how long the space stays disrupted.
Cabinets fail when prep is rushed. Grease, previous clear coats, edges, hardware removal, and drying setup all matter. You want to hear a process, not just a price.
Ask whether doors and drawers are removed and labeled, whether the boxes are treated differently from the faces, and where sprayed components cure. That is where finish quality usually separates itself.
If the painter says “cabinet painting” but cannot explain how the kitchen remains functional during the project, the homeowner is missing critical schedule information.
Ask about disruption
- How long the kitchen is partially offline
- What stays usable each day
- Hardware reinstall and touch-up plan
- When the finish is ready for normal wear
What to photograph before calling
- Door styles, drawer banks, and island faces
- Existing chipped edges, greasy zones, and prior coatings
- Any damaged hinges, hardware, or shelf wear
- How close the kitchen is to living or dining spaces
Red flags in vague cabinet proposals
- No explanation of degreasing or sanding
- No clarity on off-site or on-site spray workflow
- No plan for door labeling and reinstall
- No language about cure time before normal wear
