 Why do painted cabinets 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 suggestions 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 a paint job.

If your cabinets are failing and are in need of a new paint job, give Brooks Painting a call to set up your free estimate at 530-753-5074.

They are on time! They show up! It was a big job and they were good and fast. Very nice guys.

Consummate professionals! We hired Brooks to repaint the exterior of our house, and they did a fantastic job. The paint looks wonderful, everyone was also on time, friendly, and respectful of our property. Exceptional communication through the entire process. I was worried about damage to the landscaping near the house (bad previous experience with another outfit), but they were all very understanding and the crew was super careful. Did what they said they would do with no weirdness, no smoking, no radio, and they cleaned up after themselves nicely. This picky customer is very happy!

Eric and his crew were on time every day and did a very thorough job. I was thrilled that they were willing to paint my outdoor light fixtures which were getting rusty. I was particularly impressed how much time they spent going over their work at the end to catch spots that were missed. I’ll be using them again for interior painting.

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!
