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: Does painting cabinets devalue your home?

• <div><p>Painting the kitchen cabinets, whether done by a professional or as a DIY, can add value to your home. A fresh coat of paint is especially effective when adding new hardware to upgrade your cabinets&rsquo; look without the expense of replacing them entirely. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to sand cabinets before staining?

• <div><p>Yes, sanding cabinets before you stain them helps the new stain better adhere to the surface. If you&rsquo;re adding a darker stain to previously stained wood, you only have to sand them lightly enough to remove any finish and rough up the wood to improve adhesion. On the other hand, if you&rsquo;re trying to stain wood that is a darker color or that has paint on it, you need to sand down to the original wood, or the color will show through the new stain.</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: Can you paint over laminate cabinets without sanding?

• <div><p>A combination deglosser and cleaner can help minimize the amount of sanding necessary when painting laminate cabinets and other surfaces. Deglosser is excellent for use on heavily detailed surfaces where sandpaper can't reach evenly or at all. While some DIYers prefer to use only deglosser when painting cabinets, using sandpaper when possible saves money, and some deglossers may not work as well on laminate surfaces.</p></div>
