Why Do Painted Cabinets Sometimes Fail?

Why Do Painted Cabinets Sometimes Fail?

Golden Oak and Maple cabinets are so prevalent in today’s kitchens that were built in the 1990’s and 2000’s, and many homeowners want to paint them to update the look of their kitchens. With today’s do it yourself shows, many people think it is easy to paint cabinets. While it is not rocket science, there are a lot of steps involved in painting cabinets. At Brooks Painting we do a cabinet job weekly, and are experts in painting cabinets. We ensure that all steps are followed so that you have a long lasting beautiful cabinet paint job.

The most common problem homeowners experience with painted cabinets is peeling paint around the sink area, and where they open the cabinets. There are two critical steps we do on every job to ensure long lasting finishes. They are cleaning the surfaces so that all the hidden oils and dirt are neutralized, and sanding the top layer so the primer can properly adhere to the old. If either of these steps is skipped, it doesn’t matter what type of paint you use, the finish will not last.

Regardless if you attempt to paint your cabinets yourself or hire a professional, make sure that the cabinets are cleaned thoroughly and sanded completely. If either of these steps are skipped, you will have problems; it is only a matter of time. The other suggestion we make to every client is to install knobs or handles. Not only do they add aesthetic value, but they keep our oily hands from touching the paint. This will help extend the life of the paint job.

Very professional, I appreciate the time they took to make sure everything was taken care of for my house! I really liked that Jaime stepped up and told me not to paint my front door like the house and then chose a color that worked great. Thank you!

Chris and Gabriel were amazing. Corey was patient and helpful in answering questions and while I decided on colors. The office was easy to contact and had good follow-through. Thank you so much to Brooks for a job I could not possibly be happier with. Feel free to use me as a reference!

We are long time happy customers with many positive experiences with Brooks Painting. We have appreciated the assistance (and patience) with selecting paint colors, the professionalism of the staff and the high quality of workmanship. We recently had some interior painting done and the crew was on time, neat, careful inside the house and very easy to work with. They also cheerfully handled some unexpected drywall repair. I highly recommend Brooks Painting.

Brooks did a fantastic job on our exterior and interior paint jobs. Quality was high, price was reasonable, and the team was extremely professional and detail-oriented. Mark was our crew lead and the team performed a number of exterior wood repairs, a door re-stain, interior and exterior painting. Mark clearly takes a lot of pride in his work and went above and beyond to ensure the work was high-quality, including finding exact matching siding to fix dry rot, and performing minor repairs that weren't even included in the quote. He and the team were all consistently positive and personable, joking with each other throughout the day, while also genuinely complimenting each other on the quality of their work. It was great to see, and that positivity definitely showed through the work they did. We couldn't be happier with the end result.
