Learn how to paint cabinets and save money!

It is no secret that I prefer spraying paint with a professional spray gun versus a brush and roller. Mostly because it is so much faster, although it does involve more prep work to spray. When I refinish kitchen cabinets though, the majority of the time I am brushing and rolling the cabinet frames and spraying the doors and drawers.

What does this mean to you?


As a homeowner, if you want to learn how to paint in your own home and save money in the process, I would like to introduce a new service offering for kitchen cabinets. I am offering to teach you how to paint the kitchen cabinet frames, walk you through the entire process of cleaning, sanding, prepping and priming beforehand, and to be on standby for any questions.


In addition to learning a new skill set, you will benefit from substantial cost savings!


How do you qualify?


The following criteria is needed to participate in this program:

• Willing to follow my step by step process and not skip any steps
• Must use the paint and primer that I provide
• Be available in person and go through the entire process in your home
• Must complete the project in a timely manner (not more than a week as we will be working together)
• Desire to learn how to paint
• Willing to take direction
• The cabinets may not previously be painted, as that will require that they be stripped first so a different process will need to be used
• This is for paint only, as of this time I am not offering this service for staining
• The option is only for kitchens or large bathrooms, not for small bathrooms unless there is more than one.

What is the process?


The same process will be used for requesting a quote as normal. If you wish to participate in the project, I will remove the cost for the frame painting portion in the quote and there will just be a small fee for supplies. All supplies including paint, primer, and rollers will be given to you.


Once a deposit is received and your project is on the calendar, you will be contacted by me a couple of weeks prior to getting started. At this point we will meet to discuss colors and go over any questions.


On the first day of the project, you will need to be available to go over the step by step instructions. We will actually work together from start to finish on one part of the cabinets. This includes cleaning, sanding, cleaning, prep (taping off and masking), and then applying the first coat of primer. I will be instructing you how to perform each step and then you will proceed on your own from there. This should not take more than an hour or so for the demonstration and any questions. The entire work should not take more than four days to complete, even less if you have a helper.


I will be available for a follow up where I inspect the work to make sure it is progressing as expected. There will be a final inspection when the cabinet doors and drawers are delivered.


Not only will you get the gratification in knowing that you were able to update your own home, but you will gain a new skill set that can be applied to other areas in your home if you so choose! Its easier than you think, and you can achieve it! I will also be there to help walk you through everything, and as we all know having a guide to do something makes the task seem less daunting.


Is this something you would be willing to try? I would love to hear your input!
