Stage One : - Initial Consultation & Scope Evaluation

Every project begins with an on-site consultation. Our Dallas-area team evaluates the current condition of your cabinets—doors, drawers, frames, hardware, and surface wear. We discuss your design goals, finish options, colors, and desired timelines. This is also where we review protection methods, access, and any needed repairs so you know exactly what to expect.


Stage Two : - Cabinet Removal, Masking & Site Preparation

Next, we remove and label all doors, drawer fronts, and hardware to ensure precise reinstallation. Your home is fully protected with masking, sheeting, drop cloths, and containment barriers. Floors, appliances, and surrounding surfaces are safeguarded to allow work while keeping your living space clean, organized, and functional.


Stage Three : - Deep Cleaning & Surface Preparation

To guarantee a long-lasting finish, we deeply clean every cabinet surface using professional-grade degreasers. Once clean, each door, drawer, and frame is carefully sanded to remove gloss, level imperfections, and create proper adhesion. Repairs to cracks, joints, and worn areas are handled during this stage, ensuring a reliable foundation for paint.


Stage Four : - Professional Priming & Specialty Sealing

We apply high-performance bonding primers designed specifically for cabinetry and for Dallas’s changing humidity levels. Primer blocks stains, seals wood, improves adhesion, and prepares the surface for a flawless finish. After curing, surfaces are lightly sanded again to achieve smoothness before final coats.


Stage Five : - Finish Coat Application, Reassembly & After-Care

We apply premium spray-finish cabinetry coatings in our controlled facility for a smooth, factory-grade appearance. Multiple thin coats ensure durability and rich color depth. Once cured, your doors and drawers are reinstalled, hardware is aligned, bumpers added, and everything is inspected for quality. You’ll receive after-care guidance and warranty information for long-term protection.
