Are your kitchen cabinets outdated or scratched? Have you attempted to paint them yourself, but are unsatisfied with the outcome? No matter the reason, N-Hance® can assist you in repainting your kitchen cabinets. We can transform dull, worn-out, or unfashionable cabinets into a refreshed and stylish look that you’ll adore. Additionally, we can rectify mistakes made during DIY paint jobs, such as brush strokes, drip marks, and other imperfections. Whether it’s fixing these common issues or others, homeowners frequently turn to us for assistance.
Some common issues that homeowners seek our help with include:
Problem #1: Leaving the Doors On
Painting the cabinets with the doors still attached may seem convenient, but it often leads to a messy and imperfect final result. Navigating around the hinges can be challenging, resulting in sloppy work and potential drip marks.
With N-Hance, you can skip these issues. We remove the drawer fronts and cabinet doors, taking them to our shop for a smooth, factory-like finish. This eliminates the risk of careless mistakes and ensures a professional result without any hassle.
Problem #2: Not Taking Time to Adequately Prep
Proper preparation is essential for repainting kitchen cabinets, especially without professional experience. Improper preparation can affect the final appearance and durability, causing quick chipping and peeling. It can also highlight scratches and damages after repainting.
At N-Hance, we prioritize thorough and proper preparation. We use a proprietary solution to clean cabinets, removing grease, grime, and build-up. This creates a clean surface for the new finish. Damaged areas are repaired, and cabinets are primed with a product specifically formulated for use on cabinets. The paint adheres better to the primed cabinets, preventing stains and bleedthrough.
Problem #3: Applying a Thick Layer of Paint
Applying a single, thick coat of paint may speed up the process, but it makes cabinets prone to scratches, peeling, chipping, and flaws. Optimal durability is achieved by applying multiple thin layers to withstand daily wear and tear.
Problem #4: Not Allowing Cabinets to Dry Sufficiently
Repainting kitchen cabinets in a DIY project can be time-consuming, requiring wait times between each coat of paint and before reinstallation. For optimal results, the final curing process may take several weeks. Rushing through any of these steps can lead to smudges, chips, and other signs of wear that can damage the cabinets.
At N-Hance, we utilize a proprietary system called Lightspeed® Nano that instantly cures your cabinets using UV light. Once the repainting is complete, we apply a clear topcoat and cure it within seconds. This shorter downtime results in a more robust and long-lasting finish.
Problem #5: Choosing the Wrong Color
If you’re unsatisfied with the current color of your cabinets or if they are outdated, N-Hance can assist you. We offer a selection of 12 popular and proven colors for you to choose from. Alternatively, you can bring in a color sample, and we’ll match it to your preference.
However, repainting your kitchen cabinets won’t fix structural issues. For instance, painting won’t reverse the effects of cabinet warping. While it may temporarily conceal the issue, eventually, cabinet replacement becomes necessary. In such rare cases, saving up for a complete replacement proves to be more cost-effective, ensuring great-looking and long-lasting cabinets for years to come.
If you’ve attempted to repaint your kitchen cabinets independently and aren’t satisfied with the final outcome, let N-Hance of Northwest Indianapolis create the factory-like finish you desire. We offer beautiful cabinets quickly and at an affordable cost. Call (317) 407-1368 to schedule a FREE consultation.
