Q: Do I have to take off doors to paint cabinets?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s usually a good idea to take the time to remove cabinet doors before painting. This allows you to move your cabinet doors to a more convenient painting spot where you don&rsquo;t have to worry about making a mess. Be sure to remove all hardware before starting your painting project.</p></div>

Q: What type of paint is best for kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>When it comes to painting kitchen cabinets, most professionals tend to use latex paint. However, acrylic paint is also a great option, especially if you're working with wood. Along with the paint type, you'll also want to think about the finish. For kitchen cabinets, the best paint finishes are usually semi-gloss or high-gloss. These finishes are incredibly durable, which is important in high-traffic areas like kitchens. Matte finishes, on the other hand, are less durable.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a steam cleaner on laminate cabinets?

• <div><p>No, we don&rsquo;t recommend using a steam cleaner on laminate surfaces, including kitchen cabinets. Steam can affect the structure of laminate cabinets, loosening the layers and causing them to warp. However, you can deep clean your laminate cabinets using other methods, such as soap and water or a vinegar mixture.</p></div>

Bob refinished a bed for me that had been stored in the attic and had sustained some water damage. He also helped with some loose chair back. All his work was nicely done and in a very timely fashion. He picks up and delivers. I highly recommend him.

Once we decided on what cabinets we wanted, everything went smoothly from there. If you are a visual person, I'd make sure that you find a picture of a kitchen that you like first and have it ready for James when he comes to do the estimate. He can get any type of door that you would like, but...
