Can you paint my kitchen cabinets?

A small run, yes. A full kitchen is its own project with its own quote. Either way, the prep is what makes the paint last.

What paint do you use on doors and trim?

A trim and door enamel. It hardens, so doors don't stick to the jamb and trim takes vacuum bumps. Wall paint on a door stays soft.

Do you take the doors off to paint them?

When we can, yes. A door painted flat has a smoother finish and no drips.

Trim and doors are the parts of a room that get touched, kicked and bumped, so they're the first to look tired. They're also the parts where a sloppy paint job shows most, because the eye follows every straight line. We paint trim and doors with the prep they need and a paint that hardens enough to take the wear.

Baseboards, casing and crown

Trim gets scuffed by vacuums and shoes, and the caulk line where it meets the wall cracks and pulls away. Painting trim starts with filling the dings, re-caulking the gaps, and sanding the old finish so the new paint grips. Then the trim gets brushed in semi-gloss or satin. New trim, after a carpentry job, gets primed on all sides first.

Painting trim a crisp white against colored walls is one of the cheapest ways to make a room look finished. It's a tedious job, and it's the one people put off longest.

Interior doors

A door takes more handling than any wall. The paint around the knob wears through, the bottom edge gets kicked, and the sun through a window fades one side. Doors get taken off their hinges and painted flat when they can be, which gives a smoother finish with no drips. The edges get painted too, including the top and bottom, which keeps the door from swelling in monsoon season.

The paint matters. Standard wall paint on a door stays soft and sticks to the jamb. Trim and door enamel hardens, and the door closes without sticking. It takes a few days to fully harden, so doors get handled gently until then.

Cabinets: small runs

We paint small cabinet runs: a bathroom vanity, a laundry room cabinet, a kitchen island, or the cabinets in a wet bar. The doors and drawer fronts come off and get painted flat. The boxes get painted in place. Everything gets cleaned, sanded and primed with a bonding primer, because cabinet finishes are slick and paint won't stick to them without it. Then two coats of cabinet enamel.

A full kitchen is a different job. It's dozens of doors, a lot more time, and a spray setup to get a factory-looking finish. We quote that as its own project rather than as a touch-up, and we'll tell you up front whether the cabinets are worth painting or whether the money is better spent elsewhere.

Shelving and built-ins

Closet shelves, pantry shelving, bookcases and built-ins get the same treatment as cabinets: sanded, bonding primer, enamel. New built-ins from our carpentry side get primed before they go in and painted after.

How it starts

Send a photo of the trim or door, and for cabinets, a photo of the run with the doors closed. Tell us the color if you've picked one, or ask for a white that matches your existing trim. We send back a fixed price, you say go, and Levi shows up to do it.
