Is it better to paint or spray kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>To achieve a smooth, even finish that’s free of brush strokes, spray painting is the way to go. However, it tends to use up more paint due to overspray and can have a learning curve before you perfect your technique. This isn’t to say that a brush or roller isn’t also an excellent tool, so you should test out each technique on a piece of cardboard or spare piece of wood beforehand to see which one gives you your desired look.</p></div>

Q: What is liquid sandpaper, and does it work on cabinets?

• <div><p>Liquid sandpaper is a solvent used to soften existing layers of paint and make them porous enough that you can effectively apply a new coat of paint. You rub the liquid sandpaper on, wait for it to work, and wipe it off&mdash;no literal sanding is involved. Liquid sandpaper can save time and is helpful if parts of the cabinet are hard to reach with standard sandpaper. However, like paint stripper, liquid sandpaper creates dangerous fumes and must be used with care indoors. And unlike sanding, it can&rsquo;t fix any scratches or dings in your cabinets.</p></div>

Q: What costs are typical for cabinet refinishing services?

• <div><p>Costs generally range from $1,500 to $4,000 depending on kitchen size, complexity, material choice, and professional rates balancing merits achieved.</p></div>

Q: What should you remodel first in a kitchen?

• <div><p>First, start with any planned structural changes. That includes demolition and installing new gas lines, piping, or lighting. From there, complete any projects that require a lot of construction to install. Paint your walls while the space is mostly empty, install the cabinets before the countertops to ensure the former doesn&rsquo;t get damaged, and save all cosmetic changes (like installing new light fixtures or hardware) for the very last moment.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to remove the stain before refinishing?

• <div><p>Removing the original paint or stain before refinishing is a good idea, as it ensures the new finish bonds strongly to the wood. If you skip the stripping or sanding step, the new finish may peel or flake away from the railing easily. Using a wood stripper will completely remove the old stain or paint while sanding will help to prime the surface.</p></div>

They are a Fathet/Son team. They responded quickly, and explained clearly what the problem was, and how they plan to repair it. I was very pleased with every aspect of this project.
