Professional Cabinet Painting in Tampa

Mark’s Painting - Residential and Commercial Cabinet Painter

Maintenance is essential to extend the lifespan of cabinets. They shouldn't be exposed to direct sunlight or excessive moisture. However, even with proper care, the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry cabinets will lose their original luster one day. That's when a fresh coat of paint is necessary.

While there may not be one right way to paint the cabinets, there are many wrong ways. It can be a challenging DIY project for any homeowner, from choosing the paint to applying the last coat. It's a job best reserved for professionals who can give kitchen cabinet painting the attention to detail it deserves.

At Mark's Painting, our kitchen cabinet painters have the knowledge, skills, and experience to achieve the perfect outcome. Painting products come and go, and it's our job to stay on top of all the innovations. We want to help our clients choose the most outstanding possible solution for their kitchen cabinet painting.

There are a host of benefits to painting kitchen cabinets. The options are limitless, so clients can transform the kitchen, bathroom, and garage to match their unique style. Rather than replacing structurally sound cabinets, painting them is an environmentally friendly and sustainable approach.

Painting kitchen cabinets is also far more cost-effective. A professional kitchen cabinet spraying and refinishing crew, such as the one at Mark's Painting, can save clients time and money and deliver superb results that rival brand-new cabinets.

Cabinet Painting Finishes and Styles

  1. Solid Color Paint Finishes: Our comprehensive evaluation begins with a detailed examination of all affected areas. Professional technicians employ specialized tools to identify hidden moisture issues and structural concerns. The inspection includes evaluating visible damage patterns, detecting underlying causes, and documenting all findings through detailed notes and photographs. This thorough assessment allows our team to develop an effective repair strategy tailored to each situation. Clear communication with property owners establishes an understanding of the scope of work needed.

  2. Distressed and Glazed Finishes: Artisanal distressing and glazing techniques add character and depth to cabinet surfaces, creating unique vintage or rustic aesthetics. Our skilled craftsmen apply multiple layers of finish to achieve authentic, weathered appearances that complement traditional and farmhouse design styles. The careful glazing process enhances cabinet details and creates subtle color variations that add visual interest. These specialized finishes transform ordinary cabinets into distinctive focal points while maintaining professional quality standards. Each project receives customized attention to achieve the desired distressing and aged patina level.

  3. Two-Tone and Accent Cabinets: Creative two-tone applications introduce dynamic visual interest to kitchen spaces through strategic color combinations. We skillfully blend contrasting or complementary colors between upper and lower cabinets or highlight islands as statement pieces. This modern approach allows for bold design expressions while maintaining kitchen harmony. Our precise masking and application techniques create clean transitions between colors. The versatile styling options, from subtle tone variations to dramatic color contrasts, accommodate various design preferences.

  4. High-Gloss or Matte Finishes: Specialized finish options deliver distinctive looks that elevate cabinet appearances to new levels of sophistication. High-gloss applications create reflective surfaces that brighten spaces and add contemporary flair, while matte finishes offer subtle elegance with reduced light reflection. Our advanced application techniques produce flawless surfaces free from imperfections. These premium finishes require expert preparation and carefully controlled application conditions to achieve optimal results. The finished surfaces provide lasting beauty while meeting specific design preferences for modern or traditional spaces.

Our Tampa Cabinet Painting Process

  • Our cabinet painting projects start with removing all the hardware and cabinet doors. We label all the screws and hardware and put them away for safekeeping.

    We then move on to cleaning the cabinet surfaces. If the existing paint is in relatively good shape, we use a bleach and trisodium phosphate (TSP) solution to prepare the wood for painting. The mixture thoroughly removes all glossiness and grease, leaving the cabinets completely clean and bare.

    To enhance the life and finish of the paint, we sand the surfaces and edges prior to painting. Our default tools for this step are 180-grit sandpaper for removing all flaking and chipped paint and a sponge for all the dust. At this point, we also inspect the cabinets for signs of softened wood that may indicate rot.

    The mere presence of wood rot does not necessarily halt this process, as minor amounts can be safely scraped off and removed, though the more affected panels might need replacing. Before proceeding further, we apply fungicides and preservatives that should add years to the lifespan of the cabinets.

    This stage ends with patching holes, if any. Homeowners can rest assured that we have just the right products for whatever type of cabinets they have.

  • We at Mark's Painting have all the tools and expertise to repair just about any dents; our goal is to make them look like they never existed.

    We use oil-based fillers and epoxies to match the color of the cabinets. We are highly proficient at smoothing out dents and filling any gaps that are present.

  • Whenever possible, we tackle scratches through the use of extra-fine wool pads. We also have more sophisticated tools in waiting for more severe marks.

    For deep scratches, we have a range of suitable filler materials that can be mixed to match the finish of the cabinets. We also look for wax buildups in the scratched areas and remove them if necessary. When we are done, the cabinets look as if they were never damaged in the first place.

  • The final step in the prep work is priming the wood. The primer determines how easy it is to apply the paint and the quality of the final result.

    Recognizing that every cabinet painting project is potentially unique, we do not go into any project with a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, our priming effort is customized to the cabinets for optimal stain prevention and topcoat adhesion.

  • The two primary methods of cabinet painting are brush painting and spray painting. Mark's Painting favors spray painting for the best results. Our professional kitchen cabinet spraying and refinishing process is much faster, owing to spray painting's ability to cover more of the area in each application. Our customers appreciate that perfectly smooth coverage that's nearly impossible to achieve with brush painting.

    Our professional sprayer can reach anywhere that needs painting, including the most challenging uneven surfaces, so we rarely need to do any touch-ups or sanding afterward.

    At the end of the job, you can be the proud owner of cabinets that look indistinguishable from factory new or better. Beyond kitchen cabinets, spray painting works on any surface, even acrylic facing and laminate.
