We've Painted 200+ Homes. Here's the Cabinet Mistake We See Over and Over.
Homeowners often focus on the paint color first.
But cabinet finishes usually fail because of what happens before the paint goes on: cleaning, sanding, and bonding primer.
The finish is only as good as the prep.
Clean + Degrease
Cabinet surfaces collect oils that wall paint never has to deal with.
Proper Bonding
Skipping proper sanding and primer is one of the fastest ways to get peeling or chipping.
The Right Coating
Cabinets require a harder, more durable finish than ordinary wall paint.

Frequently Asked Service Questions
Look for clear, detailed proposals, proof of licensing and insurance, and a process that includes real surface preparation, not just a coat of paint. Refined Painting is fully licensed and insured, Google Verified, and follows EPA Lead-Safe work practices on every project.
A good estimate should be detailed and transparent, so you know exactly what's included, what to expect, and how your timeline will work. We visit your home, take measurements, discuss the project, and deliver a written proposal within 24–48 hours.
Most interior painting projects take between 3 to 7 days depending on the number of rooms, ceiling heights, and complexity of the work. Single-room projects can often be completed in 1 to 2 days.
