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: Can I paint cabinets myself, or should I hire a professional?

• <div><p>DIY is possible with proper preparation and equipment, but a professional painter ensures smoother finishes, especially for intricate cabinetry.</p></div>

Q: Do cabinet makers still exist?

• <div><p>Yes, cabinet makers continue to fabricate custom kitchen and other household cabinets for new construction homes. Cabinet makers also replace and renovate existing kitchen cabinets. The cost tends to be higher than choosing manufactured cabinets from a major retailer, but you get the cabinets specially designed and made to fit the unique needs of your space. </p></div>

Q: How long does wood filler take to dry?

• <div><p>It can take as little as 30 to 60 minutes for wood filler to dry, but some products take up to four hours. Always read labels to ensure you're following the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions. Water-based wood fillers typically take longer to dry than oil-based or epoxy-wood fillers, especially when applied to large areas or deep cracks. Wood putty won&rsquo;t dry completely, remaining slightly pliable.</p></div>

Q: Can I spray paint cabinets without sanding?

• <div><p>If you want to spray paint your cabinets without sanding, you have a few options to rough up the kitchen cabinet surface before priming. First, you can try using mineral spirits and a rough sponge on the cabinet surface to give it some grit for the primer. The second option is to use liquid sandpaper on the cabinet surface so it deglosses the finish and will be ready for primer.</p></div>

I've run Deep Rooted Woodworking for the last 7 years. I design and build custom cabinets and furniture, bedroom and living room sets. I take great pride in my work, everything is done using traditional joinery and is built to last generations.

"Work was of very poor quality. Communication was poor. Job was stopped due to lack of trust in contractor’s ability of willingness to correct issues. The job was planned for 8 weeks, incomplete after 8 months. Contractor did not order all required parts before starting. Used lower quality materials than specified in contract. Non matching materials were also used. Wainscoting panels were poorly assembled with large gaps and nail holes visible throughout the work. Some panels were fastened with a single nail into drywall, and kept in place with caulking and paint. Drywall compound was used instead of an appropriate wood filler. Filler was not sanded and visible through paint. Paint heavily applied resulting in drips, runs and heavy orange peel texture. Molding turn-ins not installed. Stain work roughly applied with runs and over staining throughout. Lost trust in contractor. Poor communication throughout. Job remains incomplete."
