When V. Andrews contacted Right Touch Painting about updating their kitchen cabinets, they were looking for a way to transform their space without the expense and disruption of a full kitchen remodel. Like many Littleton homeowners, they had beautifully constructed oak cabinets that were structurally sound but aesthetically dated. Today, we’re excited to share their remarkable cabinet transformation story.
The Initial Consultation
When our team first visited the Andrews’ Littleton home, we found a kitchen with classic honey oak cabinets – a style popular in many Colorado homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s. While the cabinets were well-maintained and functional, the dated finish made the kitchen feel dark and outdated despite the room’s excellent natural light.
The homeowner’s vision was clear: create a bright, modern kitchen while preserving the quality craftsmanship of their existing cabinets. They were drawn to the trending white cabinet looks featured in home design magazines but worried about achieving a professional, lasting finish.
The Right Touch Painting Solution
Our team proposed a comprehensive cabinet painting process that would transform their kitchen while ensuring durability for years to come. Our approach included:
1. Thorough Preparation
- Complete removal of all cabinet doors and drawers
- Creation of a detailed labeling system
- Setting up a controlled painting environment
- Protection of all surrounding surfaces
- Thorough cleaning and degreasing of all surfaces
2. Professional Surface Preparation
- Careful sanding of all surfaces
- Repair of any minor damages
- Application of high-adhesion primer
- Between-coat sanding for optimal smoothness
- Dust removal and surface cleaning
3. Premium Finishing Process
- Application of specialized cabinet paint
- Multiple thin coats for perfect coverage
- Careful attention to detail work
- Quality control inspections between coats
- Final protective clear coat application
The Transformation Process
Week 1: Preparation Phase
Our team began by carefully removing and cataloging all cabinet doors and hardware. Each piece was labeled with a unique identifier to ensure proper reinstallation. The cabinet frames were carefully masked and protected, and we set up proper ventilation and dust containment systems.
Week 2: Priming and Initial Coats
After thorough preparation, we applied our specialized primer system designed specifically for cabinet refinishing. This crucial step ensures proper adhesion and a smooth final finish. Each surface received careful attention, with detailed sanding between coats.
Week 3: Final Finishing
The final week focused on applying the finish coats and clear protective layer. Our team paid special attention to achieving a factory-like finish, ensuring even coverage and proper drying time between coats.
The Stunning Results
The transformation exceeded even the Andrews’ expectations. The once-dated kitchen now showcases:
- Bright, clean white cabinets that reflect natural light
- Flawless, smooth finish that looks factory-new
- Modern appeal while maintaining traditional charm
- Professional-grade durability
- Enhanced room brightness
Client Testimonial
“We are thrilled with how well our cabinets turned out! David and his crew were wonderful to work with. Very responsive, always punctual and they worked so hard to get the job done before our Thanksgiving company came to town. The quality is so good that the cabinets don’t look painted at all. They look like they came directly from the manufacturer that color. There were no surprise costs and our final invoice was exactly what we were quoted. We couldn’t be happier!” – V. Andrews
