Cabinet painting will look great if done properly by a knowledgeable contractor and it is the least expensive and most effective way of breathing new life into old and drab-looking cabinets.
However, this process does not involve slathering a coat of paint on the cabinets and calling it a day. A substandard job will definitely give you the ‘quick’ changes you wanted, but this will not only leave you with a maintenance problem in the future but your cabinets will also be challenged durability-wise – a problem that will never be resolved without a complete surface preparation and repainting job.
