Revitalize your living space with the adaptability of cabinet painting. Your kitchen or bathroom cabinetry is more than just practical; it’s a testament to your home’s character. Whether you’re captivated by contemporary simplicity, sentimental allure, or vibrant bursts of color, cabinet painting offers a cost-effective way to rejuvenate your interiors. With our precise artistry and a color spectrum that knows no bounds, your cabinets can serve as the launch pad for your design expedition.
Reasons To Paint Your Cabinets
There are many reasons people in our area (Brazoria County, TX) are getting their kitchen cabinets painted by Ainsworth Painting. Maybe some of the reasons apply to you:
- You hate the color of your current cabinets. Color trends change, and the orange-hue stain popular in the latter part of the 20th century may differ from your style. Or the bold color choice of the previous homeowner is too loud for your taste.
- The previous “painter” did sloppy work. Painting cabinets is a challenging, long, and detailed process. Not all painters have the specialized skills and equipment needed to give kitchen cabinets a furniture finish.
- The current paint is failing. Making your kitchen look tidy is impossible if the paint or finish is chipping off. It can be aggravating if you don’t want to cook in your kitchen, fearing you will damage your cabinets if you try.
- You feel embarrassed to entertain. Guests always end up in the kitchen, and with the popularity of open living and dining areas, ugly cabinets cannot be hidden.
- Your cabinets need to fit into your design idea. Everyone has a different opinion on what looks good and what doesn’t, so your kitchen may not match how you want your home to feel.
Hiring the right kitchen cabinet painter can remedy why people like you have kitchen cabinets painted.
Why You Should Paint Your Cabinets

Our Cabinet Painting Process
Painting kitchen cabinets is a long and detailed process. Here’s a step-by-step how we achieve professional-looking results:
- Preparation: We thoroughly clean the cabinets with a degreaser to remove dirt, grease, and grime. We also protect floors, walls, countertops, and appliances.
- Remove Hardware and Doors: We remove all cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware. Removing the cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware will make painting easier and ensure a professional-looking finish. We store the hardware and screws in labeled bags or containers for easy reassembly. Also, we label cabinet doors and hardware to reassemble them in the same positions.
- Sand: We sand the surfaces lightly to create a smooth base for paint adhesion.
- Prime: We apply a coat of primer to the cabinets and doors. Primer helps the paint adhere better and provides a uniform base color. We allow the primer to dry completely according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Paint: Once the primer is dry, it’s time to paint. Use a professional-grade paint sprayer to apply thin, even coats of paint to the cabinet frames, doors, and drawers.
- Apply Multiple Coats: Depending on the color and type of paint, you may need to apply multiple coats for complete coverage. We are patient and allow each coat to dry thoroughly before adding the next layer.
- Reassemble: Once the paint has dried completely, reattach the cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware. We make any necessary adjustments to ensure everything fits properly and operates smoothly.
- Clean: We carefully remove painter’s tape, wipe down the countertops, sweep the floors, and remove all trash from the job site.
By following these steps, we can achieve beautifully painted kitchen cabinets that will revitalize your space and stand the test of time.
