Can I paint over veneer cabinets without sanding?

• <div><p>It’s important to sand your cabinets before you paint them so that your paint job will hold. However, in some cases, you might be able to skip the sanding. For example, you could use certain <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-paint-explained.htm">types of paint</a>, like mineral or chalk paint, that don’t require heavy sanding. You might also be able to use a high quality bonding primer or a liquid deglosser which allows the paint to stick without sanding. </p></div>

Q: Can you just paint over cabinets?

• <div><p>You can paint over wood, wood-laminate, and metal cabinets, but you need to prepare the surface first. Plastic laminate cabinets and thin veneers may accept a layer of paint depending on their condition, but they require special techniques and paints. If your cabinets sag or have significant damage, it may be a better investment to replace your cabinets than paint over them.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to refinish kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Cabinet refinishing takes an average of two to three days. The process includes setting up and removing cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware, followed by cleaning, stripping, and sanding cabinets. You or your pro will have to address issues like chips, stains, or splits before applying paint or stain. Then the final stage includes painting or staining, reassembling cabinets, and cleaning up.</p></div>

After setting the appointment they arrived 2 hours late. After inspecting the house I found dusty cabinets, drawers and lamps that were not cleaned. I am not happy with this service at all after paying $200.00 and the job was very simple cleaning.
