Lockport Kitchens Have Their Own Challenges
Lockport homes span from vintage to new construction, and each kitchen presents different cabinet painting challenges. Here's what we handle.
Old wood cabinets
Many Lockport homes have solid wood cabinets from the '60s and '70s. They're quality but dated. We sand, prime and paint them to look modern for a fraction of replacement cost.
Thermofoil and laminate
Modern kitchen cabinets often use thermofoil or laminate. These surfaces need special primer to bond. We use products designed specifically for cabinet painting on slick surfaces.
Grease and cooking residue
Lockport kitchens get used. Years of cooking grease sits on cabinet surfaces. Our degreasing process removes it completely before any sanding or painting starts.
Cabinet painting takes more prep than wall painting. We don't cut corners on degreasing or sanding because that's what determines whether the finish lasts.
