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.
