10 Essential Steps To Selling A House
What are the essential steps to selling a house in a changing market? According to Chad Kerr of Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty – Kerr
Kitchen cabinets take up a bulk of the wall space in most kitchens. With that amazing observation stated, painting kitchen cabinets in Columbia or anywhere else can make for a dramatic change. In addition, homeowners have been drifting away from white cabinets and choosing some interesting colors.
The alternative is to do a complete kitchen remodel. New cabinets, counter-tops, sink, etc, can quickly turn into a $40,000 project. On the other hand, painting kitchen cabinets, installing a new backsplash, and replacing the cabinet hardware could cost as little as $5,000.
Of course, you could do the work yourself and save thousands more, but painting kitchen cabinets and installing backsplashes is not that easy. At least, it is not that easy to make it look professional.
Getting kitchen cabinets to have a showroom/factory finish look is like baking. You have to follow each step precisely, or you will wish you never got started.
Cleaning with a degreaser, sanding, and using a bonding primer such as a shellac primer is not enough. Even using premium-grade cabinet-grade paints sometimes peel. Why? Because the oils from cooking and fingers all break the adhesion.
Many painting contractors and DIYer’s apply the paints with a roller. Rolling the kitchen cabinets leaves a horrible texture and, in my opinion, cheapens the look of the cabinets.
The processes and products we use will ensure your cabinets look fantastic for many years in the future. That is why we offer a guarantee.
In the picture on the far right, the paint started to scratch after ten short months. At Klappenberger & Son, we follow best practices that eliminate these issues – guaranteed.
Just two factors:
First, cabinet manufacturers spray lacquer on the cabinets to protect them. While latex, oil primers stick to lacquer for a while, once the oil from our hands penetrates the paint and reaches the lacquer finish, the paint scratches off easily. The exception is a shellac primer. Shellac primers fuse to the lacquer.
Secondly, to get the kitchen cabinets to a factory finish, it is best to spray. The second best way is to brush with cabinet-grade paint and add a latex conditioner.
FYI – buying a DIY sprayer will not give you the same results. The cheap sprayers don’t have the necessary pressure to put the paint out, and the result will be an orange peel effect.
Painting kitchen cabinets in Columbia is a great way to transcend your kitchen for a fraction of the cost of replacing them.
I believe adding a backsplash plus painting your kitchen cabinets can have a dramatic effect. I’ve seen it so many times, and usually, the cost is under $5,000.00.
In addition, with over 30 years of experience painting kitchen cabinets, we offer two things that most companies can not say.
First, your newly painted kitchen cabinets’ quality has a smoothness similar to a factory finish.
Secondly, we offer a 5-year warranty when you have your kitchen cabinets or vanities painted. No other painting contractor offers such a generous warranty. Why do we?
The short answer is because our paint and procedures are done properly. For example, we use the right primers and topcoats.
The confidence in our products and process has allowed us to give 5-year warranties on kitchen cabinets against chipping and peeling.
The Klappenberger & Son Cabinet Warranty covers all labor and materials necessary to repair damaged areas to cabinets due to improper paint application or adhesion.
