One question that we are asked regularly is “Do you think that painting my kitchen cabinets is a good idea?” We have been in the painting and remodeling business for a long time, and have extensive experience painting cabinets as well as installing new. There is absolutely no doubt that professionally painting existing cabinets is one of the best “bang-for-your-buck” investments that you can make in your home, and is a decision that can save thousands of dollars and delivery virtually the same impact. The critical part of the answer to that question are the words “professionally painted.” Chances are, if you have heard negative feedback about a cabinet painting experience, the work was done by a painting contractor unfamiliar with the specialized nature of the process.
Here are a few tips to help choose the right cabinet painting contractor for your home:
- When choosing a cabinet painting contractor, experience is critical. Painting cabinetry is much different than simple interior painting. Make sure you ask your contractor for referrals from customers for whom they have actually painted cabinets for.
- Make sure the painting contractor has facilities specifically for cabinet painting. It is nearly impossible to prepare and paint cabinets properly in-place. Morton’s Cabinet Painting has a custom designed spray facility and equipment to ensure a virtually flawless finish that you will absolutely love.
- Ask the contractor about their preparation process. It is impossible to obtain an amazing finish without adequate preparation. Morton Painting removes your cabinets and in our specialty shop, disassembles and meticulously prepares ALL surfaces. If your contractor does not take the time to prepare your cabinets for paint, the finish and longevity will be disappointing at best.
