Cabinet Painting in Beacon Hill, Boston MA

Doors come off and get sprayed with cabinet-grade enamel for a factory-smooth finish. Degreasing and bonding primer are what make it last.

Beacon Hill specifics

Most of what we paint in Beacon Hill is Federal brick rowhouses. Federal and Greek Revival brick rowhouses from the early 1800s, with original wood sash, shutters, panelled doors and interior plaster throughout. Boston's first historic district. Exterior changes visible from a public way require approval, and the level of detail reviewed here goes further than anywhere else in the city.

How we do it

Doors come off and get sprayed with cabinet-grade enamel for a factory-smooth finish. Degreasing and bonding primer are what make it last.

Doors and drawer fronts come off, get labelled, and get sprayed off site or in a controlled space. Boxes get degreased with a TSP substitute, scuffed, and brushed and rolled in place. Bonding primer on everything, sanded between coats with 220, then two coats of cabinet-grade enamel.

The mistake we get called to fix

Grease is what kills cabinet jobs. Kitchen cabinets carry years of cooking film, and enamel over unwashed grease peels off in sheets at the door edges inside a year.

Common Questions

Questions We Get Asked

How long am I without cabinet doors?

Three to four days typically. The boxes stay usable the whole time — you just have open shelving for most of a week.

Will it chip?

Cabinet enamel cures hard over about 30 days. Be gentle the first month and it holds up to normal kitchen use for years after.

Can you paint laminate?

Yes, with a shellac or bonding primer. Standard primer will not stick to a slick laminate face and will peel.

Are you licensed and insured?

Massachusetts HIC #193121 with general liability and workers' compensation. Verify it on Mass.gov CheckAHire — for us and for anyone else quoting you.
