The Challenge of Cabinet Painting
Especially after years of use without repainting, the cabinets developed a series of interconnected issues:
Appearance & Aesthetic Challenges:
- Faded & Discolored finish with dull and worn surfaces.
- Scratches & Stains from everyday use
- Peeling & chipped paint, exposing bare wood
Structural & Material Damage:
- Lack of upkeep weakens the quality & shortens the longevity of the cabinets
- Without protection, cabinets risk absorbing moisture, causing swelling, warping, & mold
Home Value Impact:
- The cabinet’s older style clashed with the rest of the home, making it feel outdated.
- Altogether, these challenges lowered the home’s value and overall appeal.
Smith & Company Painting’s Expert Solution

Under Parker Smith’s leadership, our crew first evaluated the worn and chipped cabinets to develop a customized painting plan.
Step 2: Filling defects & Imperfections
We then meticulously filled all wood defects to create a smooth, even surface.
Step 3: Sanding
The cabinets were also thoroughly sanded to ensure proper adhesion for the primer and paint.
Step 4: Cleaning
We carefully cleaned the surfaces to remove dust and debris before painting.
Step 5: Applying Conversion Varnish Primer
We applied a conversion varnish primer to further enhance paint adhesion and provide a durable base.
