How it works
Remove and clean
We take off all doors and drawers, label them for reinstallation, and thoroughly degrease every painted surface.
Prep and prime
We sand with 220-grit, fill any holes from old hardware, apply a bonding primer, and sand again to a smooth base coat.
Paint and reassemble
We apply finish coats and allow full curing time before hanging doors back and adjusting them for even gaps.
Problems we fix
- Paint peeling off cabinets that were not properly degreased or primed
- Brush marks visible on flat door panels because brush technique or paint choice was wrong
- Doors that stick together because they were rehung before paint fully cured
- Uneven color on laminate cabinets that need a dedicated bonding primer
Cabinet Painting in Charleston — FAQ
Can you paint laminate or thermofoil cabinets?
Yes, with the right bonding primer. Laminate and thermofoil need more prep than wood but they can be painted successfully for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
How long do painted cabinets last?
With proper prep, primer, and a hard-wearing cabinet paint, a quality paint job holds up for many years of daily use. Avoid hanging wet towels on cabinet doors, which can cause lifting over time.
Should I paint the interior of the cabinets too?
It's optional. Most customers paint only the exteriors and leave the interiors as-is. If you want the insides done, we can include them — just mention it when you book.
Can you change the color to something dark?
Yes. Going to a dark color like navy or forest green may require extra coats over a tinted primer, but it's very doable and looks stunning.
Cabinet Painting across Charleston
Charleston's humid subtropical climate, salt air and active storm season are tough on homes — swollen doors, rusting hardware, mildew-prone caulk and storm-loosened trim are all common. Downtown's historic houses add original plaster walls and tight, detailed millwork, while West Ashley and the islands bring newer builds with their own quirks. Our pros are comfortable with both.
