Cabinet Painting in Milton, MA

What this looks like in Milton

Most of what we paint in Milton is large Victorians and Colonial Revivals. Large Victorians, Colonial Revivals and Georgians through the Brush Hill and Academy areas, with two-families and postwar singles toward East Milton and the Boston line. The Brush Hill and Academy-area houses are large and heavily detailed. Brackets, cornices and multi-colour schemes are brushwork and should be priced that way.

Our process

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.

What usually fails

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.
