Seven Steps. No Shortcuts.

Step 1 — Visit and written price

We look at your wood, your old finish, and your layout. We talk color. You get a written price. See free estimate.

Step 2 — Mask and protect

Floors, counters, and appliances covered. The work area tented. Your home stays clean.

Step 3 — Degrease

Two rounds of degreasing on every surface. Kitchen grease is the number-one cause of paint failure, so we are thorough.

Step 4 — Doors to the spray setup

Doors and drawer fronts come off, get labeled, and go to our spray area. Frames stay and are prepped in place.

Step 5 — Sand, fill, prime

Every surface is scuffed. Dings filled. Oak grain filled. Then a bonding primer made for humid climates — the coat that keeps everything on in Florida air.

Step 6 — Spray and cure

Two finish coats, sprayed flat. Then cure time — real cure time, not just dry-to-touch. Rushing this step is how finishes fail early.

Step 7 — Rehang and hardware

Doors go back up, adjusted straight. New knobs and pulls fitted. Final walkthrough with you. We do not leave until you love it.

What each day looks like

Most kitchens run three to five working days. Here is the rhythm.

• Day one is protection and teardown. We arrive, mask the kitchen, tent the work zone, and take the doors off. The kitchen looks dramatic by lunch. By evening it is clean and quiet.
• Day two is prep. Degreasing, sanding, filling. The unglamorous day that decides everything. You will hear sanding and smell primer by afternoon.
• Day three is prime and spray. Primer in the morning, finish coats after it flashes. The sprayer hums. The color appears.
• Day four is cure. The quietest day. Paint hardens. We may do light reassembly late in the day.
• Day five is rehang. Doors go back up. Hardware fitted. We walk the kitchen with you and fix anything you spot.

Larger kitchens and oak grain filling add days. We tell you the real schedule at the visit — see how long it takes.

What we need from you

Empty the cabinets before day one. Every shelf, every drawer. Box it up in the next room.

Clear the counters. Small appliances go elsewhere for the week.

Keep pets out of the work zone. Doors are off and crews are in and out.

Run the AC. Cool, dry air helps the finish cure. This matters in Florida — see humidity and cabinet paint.

That is it. We handle the rest.

How we keep it clean

Tenting contains dust and overspray to the work zone. Floors are covered with ram board, not thin plastic that tears. Counters get padded covers.

We vacuum daily with HEPA filtration. At the end of each day, the kitchen is clean enough to walk through in socks.

The spray work happens off-site. What little spraying happens in your home is inside the tent, with ventilation running.

How we keep it quiet

Sanding is the noisy part, and it is mostly day two. We keep work to daytime hours. If you work from home, we plan the loud work around your calls when we can.

We do not play loud music. We do not shout across the house. Your home stays your home.

What can go wrong

Honestly, not much — but here is what we watch for. Hidden grease that needs a third degrease. A door with old damage that needs replacing, not filling. Humidity that slows a cure day.

When something comes up, we tell you that day. No surprises at the end. The written price covers normal findings. Only genuine surprises — like rotted wood behind a door — change the scope, and we show you before we touch it.

What we bring vs. what you provide

We bring everything for the job itself. Paint, primer, filler, sandpaper, sprayers, masking, tents, drop cloths, tools. You never run to the store for us.

You provide access and empty cabinets. That is the whole list. Clear counters help. A parking spot nearby helps. Pets secured helps.

Hardware is the shared item. You pick the style — or we bring samples. We handle the measuring, ordering math, and installation.

Paint color is your call with our guidance. We bring the samples and the experience. You make the final pick. It is your kitchen.

If anything else comes up, we tell you early. No surprise supply runs, no surprise charges.
