How do you paint particle board cabinets without sanding?

• <div><p>If you prefer not to sand your particle board cabinets prior to painting, you can use mineral spirits and a rough sponge to add some grit to your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-mdf.htm">medium-density fiberboard cabinets</a> so that the paint will still stick. Keep in mind that using 120-grit sandpaper is still the preferred method for preparing your particle board cabinets for a new coat of paint.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use on stained cabinets?

• <div><p>There are many options for choosing the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-paint-for-cabinets.htm">best paint for cabinets</a>. In general, interior enamel paint is considered a high-quality, strong, and long-lasting choice for cabinets. However, you can also go with a high-quality oil-based or latex water-based paint. Each has its own look and sheen&mdash;with high gloss, semi-gloss, and matte styles available. So, it comes down to personal preference.</p></div>

Q: How far should countertops hang over cabinets?

• <div><p>Countertops typically hang over base cabinets by 1.5 inches. This slight overhang protects cabinet faces from spills and provides a finished look. The overhang may extend 12 inches or more for kitchen islands or breakfast bars to allow for seating and comfortable eating.</p></div>

Q: What is the most expensive part of a kitchen remodel?

• <div><p>Cabinetry is usually the most expensive part of a kitchen remodel, frequently making up 30% to 40% of the overall costs. Cabinets require a lot of materials and are time-consuming to install. However, you can save significantly by refinishing or refacing existing dated cabinets that are still in good working order. Appliances, countertops, and flooring are the other costly elements to budget for. </p></div>

Q: How are kitchen wall cabinets attached?

• <div><p>There are three primary ways to attach upper kitchen cabinets to a wall, and installers may use more than one method at a time. The most common method is to drive screws through the back of the cabinets and into studs in the wall behind. Sometimes cabinets are glued to the wall with strong adhesive. Often a combination of screws and adhesive is desirable. The last way is by hanging the cabinets on hardware brackets that attach to the wall before cabinet installation.</p></div>

Great job! It was a pleasure working with Earl, Francisco, and Marco. They’re obviously experts, came in early and worked late for 15 straight days. Francisco and Marco began by painting the stained wood kitchen cabinets. The cabinets are now perfect. The paint looks almost baked onto the wood....

This system is virtually idiot proof. Its easily installed and set up was a breeze. The response service is reliable and courteous. Affordable equipment and the lowest monitoring cost I've ever seen makes this one heck of a deal. Not requiring a contract is the icing on the cake.

Bruce Clayton is the owner, and he promised us his best work, etc. He installed the bulk of our cabinets in June, 2010. The first clue I got that he was a completely lousy business man and person was that his installation took place on the day of my sister-in-law's funeral. It was the only day...
