Your Cabinets. Our Team.
Gateway Painting does not subcontract our cabinet painting work. Our team handles the preparation and painting process so we can maintain consistent quality and accountability from start to finish.
Our Kitchen Cabinet Painting Process
We follow a detailed, step-by-step process to ensure a stunning, durable finish:
Consultation & Project Assessment.
During the consultation, we discuss your vision, color preferences, and budget.
Our team provides expert advice on colors and finishes that complement your kitchen style.
Removal & Preparation:
Cabinets are carefully cleaned to remove grease, dirt, and old finishes.
All hardware (handles, hinges, etc.) is removed for precision.
Surrounding surfaces are masked and protected to ensure a clean workspace.
Sanding & Surface Preparation:
Cabinets are lightly sanded to create a smooth surface for painting.
A high-quality primer is applied to ensure proper adhesion and a flawless finish.
Professional Application
We use advanced techniques like spraying or brushing to achieve a smooth, streak-free finish.
Multiple coats of durable, cabinet-grade paint are applied for lasting results.
Reassembly & Detail Work
Once the paint has dried, we reattach hardware and inspect every cabinet for perfection.
Optional: We can install new hardware for a fully updated look.
Final Inspection:
Our team leaves your kitchen spotless and ensures your complete satisfaction before we consider the job done.
