Cabinet Painting in Lincoln, MA

What this looks like in Lincoln

Most of what we paint in Lincoln is antique colonials and mid-century moderns. Antique colonials through the historic areas, and a notable stock of mid-century modern houses at Brown's Wood and along Baker Bridge Road, including the Gropius House. Lincoln holds architect-designed moderns with flat and low-slope roofs, wide glazing, exposed structure and often original stain finishes. Nothing about them is standard colonial work.

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.
