Cabinet Painting in Watertown, MA

How this plays out in Watertown

Most of what we paint in Watertown is two-families and small multi-family. Two-families and small multi-family throughout, brick apartment blocks along the main streets, and single-family colonials on the north side. Most of Watertown went up in the same forty-year window, which means the same construction details and the same failure points across the whole town.

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.

Where these jobs go wrong

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.
