In the world of interior design, cabinet refinishing is a rising trend. However, before diving into the exciting world of color, it is essential to understand the importance of proper preparation. At DeHaan Painting, we understand that the key to a flawless finish lies in the foundation, and that means taking time and attention to prepare all surfaces.

Cabinet Refinishing - Step 1 Deep Clean and Prep

Step 1 – Deep Cleaning: The Crucial First Step

Before opening any can of paint, our experts immerse themselves in a meticulous cleaning phase. The buildup of grease, dust, and residue can affect paint adhesion, creating obstacles to a long-lasting finish. So, the first step is to remove any trace of contaminants, using specialized cleaners and techniques that guarantee a surface ready to receive the new color.

Step 2 – Repair and Putty: Correcting Imperfections

No cabinet is perfect, but that shouldn’t be reflected in your paint. Before applying the first drop of paint, we carefully evaluate the surface for imperfections. Cracks, holes or irregularities are treated with precision, using high quality fillers to achieve a smooth and uniform surface. This step not only improves aesthetics, but also contributes to the durability of the final work

Step 3 – Sanding: The Key to Optimal Adhesion

Sanding is a crucial component in the preparation process. Not only does it remove remaining imperfections, it also creates a texture that improves paint adhesion. Our professionals use specialized techniques to ensure that every corner and surface is perfectly sanded, ensuring an ideal base for paint application.

Step 4 – Primer: The Protective Layer

Priming is not a step that should be underestimated. Acting as a base coat, the primer ensures optimal paint adhesion, while also blocking wood tannins and stains. At DeHaan Painting, we opt for quality primers that provide not only protection, but also a consistent base for color that will transform your cabinets
