Create a cabinet finish schedule

Record the color and visible surfaces for each cabinet section so the finish plan is easy to follow.
  • Door fronts
    Door fronts and any agreed backs or edges.
  • Drawer fronts
    Drawer fronts identified by cabinet run or location.
  • Face frames
    Face frames coordinated with the surrounding door color.
  • Exposed side panels
    Exposed side panels included in the visible finish.
  • Island cabinetry
    Island cabinetry listed separately when using a contrasting color.
  • Bathroom vanities
    Bathroom vanity cabinets treated as their own finish selection.

Turn an inspiration image into a defined scope

  • Share the whole room
    Include cabinets, countertops, flooring, backsplash, and the lighting you normally use.
  • Review the existing cabinets
    Discuss material, coating condition, damage, and any limitations before choosing a finish.
  • Record the selections
    Specify colors, sheen, painted surfaces, and the appearance you want to achieve.
  • Prepare and paint
    Protect adjacent finishes and complete the agreed cleaning, preparation, priming, and painting.
  • Review and document care
    Check the defined surfaces and keep the selected product and care information.

Choose a palette around the fixed finishes

Start with the countertop, backsplash, floor, and appliances that will remain. Compare physical color samples in the kitchen under daylight and the lights used in the evening. A white cabinet sample can look different next to a warm countertop than it does on a screen. Narrow the palette in the actual room before making a final selection, especially when the walls or trim will keep their existing colors.


Make a two-color plan unambiguous

If you want a contrasting island or different upper and lower cabinets, write down where each color begins and ends. Include exposed end panels, face frames, and visible edges rather than naming only the doors. Photograph the cabinet runs and label the intended colors. This simple record helps prevent an attractive idea from turning into an unclear instruction, particularly where one cabinet section meets another.


Discuss sheen, texture, and the limits of repainting

Bring an inspiration photo, then separate the qualities you like: color, reflected light, door shape, or surface texture. Painting can change the finish while leaving the original cabinet profile and some texture visible. Do not assume a painted result will duplicate newly manufactured cabinetry. Ask what appearance is realistic for the existing material and condition, and resolve differences in expectations before approving the scope.


Keep a useful record for everyday care

Ask for the selected color, coating, and sheen to be recorded with the project details. Handling and cleaning guidance should relate to that coating rather than a generic promise that the cabinets are ready immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaning or heavy use until the relevant instructions permit it. Keep the finish information for later maintenance, while recognizing that future touch-ups may not blend invisibly with a finish that has aged.

  • Can I choose different colors for the island and cabinets?
    Yes, that can be part of the proposed painting scope. Label the island, surrounding cabinets, visible sides, and frames so each color has a clear location.
  • Will the paint hide the original cabinet style?
    Painting changes color and finish, not the door profile or layout. Discuss visible texture and surface condition rather than expecting a different cabinet construction.
  • Should new hardware be chosen before painting?
    Tell us about any planned hardware change before the scope is finalized, particularly if different hole positions are involved. Hardware installation is not assumed to be included.
  • Do the inside shelves have to be painted too?
    No. Cabinet interiors and shelves are separate scope decisions. Specify them if you want them assessed; an exterior cabinet repaint does not automatically include them.
