Is it time to give your cabinets a fresh and updated look? Have you tried painting them yourself, but ended up unhappy with the results? No matter why you want to paint your cabinets, N-Hance of Central Coast can help! Our cabinet painting services allow us to transform dull, worn-out, or unfashionable cabinets into a refreshed and stylish look that you’ll love. We can even fix any mistakes that were made during DIY paint attempts, such as brush strokes, drip marks, and other imperfections.
Here are some of the common issues that homeowners typically seek our help with:
Problem #1: Leaving the Doors On
While it seems more convenient to paint your cabinets while the doors are still attached, it can actually lead to a messy and imperfect final result. Navigating around the hinges will typically result in sloppy work and be difficult to accomplish. Additionally, this method can lead to drip marks and other imperfections.
Fortunately, with N-Hance of Central Coast, you don’t need to worry about these issues. We will take care of all of the heavy lifting. We will remove the drawer fronts and cabinet doors and bring them back to our shop to ensure a smooth, factory-like finish. This will eliminate the risk of any careless mistakes and give you a professional result without any hassle.
Problem #2: Not Taking Time to Adequately Prep
Properly preparing your kitchen cabinets is one of the most important and essential steps when repainting them, but it can be difficult to do this correctly without professional experience. Improper preparation can actually affect the final appearance and durability of your cabinets, causing them to chip and peel quickly after painting. It can also lead to making any scratches and other damages more noticeable after the cabinets are repainted.
At N-Hance of Central Coast, we take extra precautions to be thorough in executing proper preparation. We’ll clean your cabinets with a proprietary solution designed to remove grease, grime, and build-up. This will create a clean surface for the new finish to be applied to. We will also take time to repair any damaged areas and prime your cabinets with a product specifically formulated for use on cabinets. The paint that we use will adhere better to the primed cabinets, preventing stains and bleedthrough.
Problem #3: Applying a Thick Layer of Paint
Did you know that applying a single, thick coat of paint to your cabinets, while it may seem like a good way to speed up the process, can actually make your cabinets more prone to scratches, peeling, chipping, and other flaws? Instead, the best approach is to apply multiple thin layers of paint to create a durable surface that can withstand daily wear and tear.
As part of our cabinet painting process, we make sure that we are using paint that is specifically designed for use on cabinets and is able to withstand heavy-duty use and routine cleaning, while still maintaining a great appearance. After you’ve chosen a color, our craftsmen will expertly apply it to your cabinets, providing an even coat and a flawless and durable finish.
Problem #4: Not Letting Cabinets Dry Long Enough
The whole DIY kitchen cabinet painting process can be extremely time-consuming, especially with all of the waiting required between each coat of paint and before you can reinstall everything. Even the final curing process can take several weeks for the best results. And if you rush any of these steps, you risk damaging your cabinets through smudges, chips, and other signs of wear.
Fortunately, at N-Hance of Central Coast, we use a proprietary system called Lightspeed® Nano that is used to cure your cabinets instantly with UV light. And after we’ve finished repainting them, we will apply a clear topcoat and cure it in seconds. This will result in shorter downtime results, along with a stronger and longer-lasting finish.
Problem #5: The Wrong Color
If you don’t like the current color of your cabinets, or they are simply out of style, N-Hance of Central Coast can help! We offer a selection of 12 popular and proven colors to choose from. And if you prefer a different option, you can bring in a color sample and we will match it!
One of the few problems that repainting your kitchen cabinets can’t fix is any structural issues. For example, if your cabinets are warping, painting them will not reverse the effect. It might hide the issue for a while, but eventually, you will need to replace the cabinets. In these rare cases, it’s often more cost-effective to save up for a full replacement, so you can get cabinets that look great and will last for many years.
If you’ve handled repainting your kitchen cabinets and ended up not liking the result, let N-Hance of Central Coast create the factory-like finish you desire! We’ll give you beautiful cabinets, quickly at a cost you can afford. Call today to get a FREE consultation.
