Painting kitchen cabinets in Rockville

Are you on the fence about either replacing or painting your kitchen cabinets in Rockville?

Well Klappenberger & Son are experts in painting kitchen cabinets in Rockville and beyond.  We have a process that not only gives you a factory finish but also comes with a 5-year warranty.

Let’s first talk about our process for painting kitchen cabinets.

Painting Kitchen Cabinets In Rockville Is A Process We Have Mastered

The kitchen cabinets need to be cleaned with a degreaser.  They are oily between the natural oils on our hands and the food on our hands that is transferred to kitchen cabinets.  Those oils must be removed entirely if the primer is to grab.  See the picture on the right.

The cabinets pictured on the right started peeling in a few short months. 

The second significant factor to consider is the paint.   Some premium-grade paints might seem fine, but they don’t self-level.  We have tested most of the leading cabinet-grade paints and know which ones are the most durable.

Using a premium-grade interior satin or semi-gloss paint is not a good option.  Why?  They just don’t self-level as well as cabinet paint.  If you want a factory finish, we need to use paint that has a very smooth finish.

Secondly, many premium-grade paints do not self-level as cabinet paint does.  You must follow specific protocols if you want a factory finish on your kitchen cabinet.  

When Painting kitchen cabinets in Sunnty Isles it is important to prime with shellac or the paint will scratch off like these did
These cabinets will need to be stripped down to resolve the peeling and have a factory finish.
These modest kitchen cabinets received several coats of white cabinet grade paint which will give them a durable finish for years!

Painting Kitchen Cabinets:  A Learning Curve

 

If your kitchen cabinets are wood with a stained finish, chances are excellent that they have a lacquer finish. Choosing the right primer to adhere to is critical.  There are many different primers, such as latex, oils, and shellac primers.  Shellac is the best choice because it fuses with the lacquer finish.  The other primers may stick for a while but can lose their adhesion over time. 

One of the benefits of Shellac primer is that it dries in minutes and can be top-coated in 30- 60 minutes.   

One of the disadvantages is that it has a powerful odor and good ventilation is necessary.
