Are your kitchen cabinets looking outdated or scratched? Have you attempted DIY painting but weren’t satisfied with the results? No worries, N-Hance® is here to help! We specialize in repainting kitchen cabinets, transforming dull, worn out, or unfashionable cabinets into a refreshed and stylish look that you’ll absolutely adore. Even if you’ve made mistakes during the DIY process like brush strokes or drip marks, we’ve got you covered.
Some common issues homeowners face when painting their cabinets include:
Problem #1: Leaving the Doors On
Painting cabinets with the doors still attached may seem convenient, but it often leads to messy and imperfect results. Navigating around hinges can be tricky and may result in sloppy work, not to mention the potential for drip marks and other imperfections.
With N-Hance, you can say goodbye to these concerns. We’ll remove the drawer fronts and cabinet doors and bring them back to our shop to ensure a smooth, factory-like finish. This eliminates the risk of careless mistakes and delivers a professional result without any hassle.
Problem #2: Inadequate Preparation Time
Proper preparation is crucial when repainting kitchen cabinets, yet it can be challenging without professional experience. Improper preparation may affect the final appearance and durability of your cabinets, leading to chipping and peeling shortly after painting. It can also make scratches and damages more noticeable once the cabinets are repainted.
At N-Hance, we prioritize thorough and proper preparation. We utilize a proprietary solution to clean your cabinets, removing grease, grime, and build-up. This creates a clean surface for the new finish to adhere to. We also address any damaged areas, prime your cabinets with a product specifically formulated for use on cabinets, and apply a high-quality paint that minimizes stains and bleedthrough.
Problem #3: Applying a Thick Layer of Paint
Applying a single, thick coat of paint to your cabinets might seem like a way to speed up the process, but it can actually increase susceptibility to scratches, peeling, chipping, and other flaws. The best approach is to apply multiple thin layers of paint to create a durable surface that can withstand daily wear and tear.
At N-Hance, we utilize paint specifically designed for cabinets, ensuring the ability to withstand heavy-duty use and routine cleaning while maintaining an exceptional appearance. After selecting a color, our craftsmen will expertly apply it to your cabinets, providing an even coat and a flawless and long-lasting finish.
Problem #4: Not Letting Cabinets Dry Long Enough
DIY kitchen cabinet repainting can be a time-consuming process, requiring waiting between each coat of paint and for reinstallation. The final curing process may take several weeks for optimal results. Rushing any of these steps can lead to damage such as smudges, chips, and signs of wear.
At N-Hance, we utilize a proprietary system called Lightspeed® to instantly cure your cabinets with UV light. Once we finish repainting them, we apply a clear topcoat and cure it within seconds. This shortened downtime results in a stronger and more durable finish.
Problem #5: The Wrong Color
If you are unhappy with the current color of your cabinets or they are outdated, N-Hance can assist you. We offer a selection of 12 popular and proven colors to choose from. Alternatively, you can bring in a color sample, and we will match it.
Repainting your kitchen cabinets will not fix structural issues. For instance, if your cabinets are warping, painting will not reverse the effect. While it may temporarily conceal the problem, eventually, cabinet replacement will become necessary. In these rare cases, it is often more cost-effective to save up for a full replacement to ensure great aesthetics and long-term durability.
If you have attempted to repaint your kitchen cabinets yourself and are unsatisfied with the results, let N-Hance of Redding & Chico create the factory-like finish you desire. We will provide you with beautiful cabinets quickly and at an affordable cost. Call (530) 221-3275 to arrange a FREE consultation.
