Plan the visible and less-visible surfaces

Make each inclusion and retained finish identifiable.
  • Closed-door appearance
    Identify fronts and surrounding frames.
  • Open-door appearance
    Decide on backs, edges and interiors.
  • Drawer components
    Separate fronts from boxes and runners.
  • Visible sides
    Include exposed ends and island panels.
  • Lower details
    Specify toe kicks and other painted sections.
  • Retained finishes
    Mark surfaces and hardware remaining unchanged.

Compare refinishing options with the cabinets you have
Choose the boundary of the new finish
You might request painted fronts, edges and exposed frames while leaving cabinet interiors unchanged. That is one possible scope, not a standard inclusion. Consider the view through open doors and from adjoining rooms. Record the components you want finished before comparing totals based only on the number of doors.

Confirm that the surfaces can support the plan
Share known material and finish information, plus any swelling, lifting layers or loose components. A paint finish cannot repair failed material or correct cabinet operation. Different substrates may need different assessment, and some may not suit the proposed work. Do not scrape or sand unknown coatings to identify them for an inquiry.

Ask about adhesion and the appearance underneath
Discuss how cooking residue and the retained coating will be addressed, including any compatibility or adhesion evaluation needed. Ask what preparation is included and what grain, texture or old repair marks may remain. A color change does not guarantee a featureless surface, an invisible match or the same result on different materials.

Keep the kitchen plan connected to the finish plan
Explain which storage and kitchen functions you need during work. Agree what needs clearing, how fronts are handled, where work occurs and what gets protected. Identify hardware changes separately. Ask for the chosen coating’s guidance on reassembly, handling and cleaning rather than assuming every surface is ready when it feels dry.

Very happy with the quality of work. They repaired small drywall spots, prepared the walls, and painted everything evenly. The paint lines around the doors and trims were sharp and clean. ★★★★★
Robert S.

  • Does painting the fronts include the backs?
    Only if agreed. Fronts, backs and edges should be identifiable in the estimate.
  • Can the existing interiors remain?
    Yes. Define their boundary and protection as part of the request.
  • Will painting fix a damaged drawer?
    A finish change does not resolve underlying damage or mechanical problems; separate assessment is needed.
  • When can I return contents and clean surfaces?
    Follow instructions for the selected finish and included areas, not a universal waiting period.
