Welcome to 3D Renos
Many people today are opting for a lighter look in their kitchens. The most expensive choice would be to replace the cabinets completely. Another option would be to reface the cabinets. This involves applying a new wood veneer to the cabinet bases and installing new doors and drawers. You can also keep the wood look by having the cabinets stripped, bleached and refinished (a messy and expensive process with sometimes disappointing results). Your other option would be to paint the cabinets, which can be the most cost-effective of all, offering the best return on your investment.
Countertops and appliances are completely masked off and covered for protection. The floor is also covered and the room is sealed with plastic to prevent dust or paint from spreading to the rest of the house.
Doors, hardware and hinges are removed. Cabinets are washed to remove any grease or dirt build-up, then thoroughly sanded, dents, scratches and any defects are repaired.
A primer coat is applied to cabinets, once this has dried they are sanded and dusted.
A split-coat of a mix of primer and finish enamel is next, followed by more sanding and dusting.
A final coat of enamel is applied. An additional fourth coat may be applied to doors and drawers, as these areas have more wear and tear.
The procedure usually takes 5 to 7 days depending on the amount of cabinetry being painted.
We use only top quality kitchen and bath paints to ensure a beautifull finish that is durable and long lasting
