Day 1 – Home Protection & Professional Setup

Your home comes first. We carefully prepare your space to ensure a clean, organized, and respectful work environment.

  • Protect floors, countertops, and appliances

  • Install ZipWall dust containment barriers

  • Set up professional ventilation systems

  • Remove doors, drawers, and hardware

  • Label every piece for precise reinstallation

  • Hang doors on professional drying racks

This step ensures your kitchen stays protected from dust, overspray, and damage.

Day 2 – Detailed Cleaning, Masking & Sanding

Proper preparation is the foundation of a long-lasting, high-end finish.

  • Mask cabinet boxes, walls, and surrounding surfaces

  • Deep clean and degrease all cabinetry

  • Sand doors, drawers, and cabinet frames

  • Smooth imperfections for flawless adhesion

This process guarantees your new finish bonds properly and lasts for years.

We apply professional-grade primers designed specifically for kitchen cabinets using our professional spray equipment.

  • Spray first coat of bonding primer

  • Apply second primer coat

  • Inspect surfaces for consistency

  • Allow primer to cure overnight

Priming creates a strong, smooth foundation for your final finish.

  • Apply second topcoat for durability and depth

  • Allow proper curing time
