Cabinet Painting in Lexington, MA

How this plays out in Lexington

Most of what we paint in Lexington is colonials of every era plus mid-century modern. Antique colonials near the Green, 1950s–1970s colonials and splits across most of the town, and architect-designed mid-century modern at Peacock Farm and Six Moon Hill. Lexington maintains historic districts around the Battle Green and Munroe. Exterior changes visible from the street require approval before work begins.

The way we work 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.

Common failure we see

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.
