Kitchen Cabinets
Count doors, drawers, exposed end panels, islands, crown, toe kicks, and face frames so every painted surface is explicit.
Plan a cabinet scope around door and drawer count, the existing finish, color direction, hardware changes, occupied-home protection, and the prep needed for a durable result.
For homeowners comparing painted cabinets in St. George, a useful estimate should record the cabinet count, door style, existing coating, visible damage, color change, hardware plan, surrounding surfaces, and the proposed preparation and finish system.
Count doors, drawers, exposed end panels, islands, crown, toe kicks, and face frames so every painted surface is explicit.
Bathroom vanities and laundry cabinets need their own count, material check, hardware plan, and moisture or cleaning review.
Bookcases, entertainment built-ins, desks, and islands may use different materials or finishes than the main kitchen run.
Wood, veneer, laminate, stained finishes, and previously painted surfaces can require different cleaning, repair, and adhesion steps.
The scope should state cleaning, sanding or deglossing, primer when required, coating type, application method, and cure guidance.
Decide whether pulls, knobs, hinges, and holes stay, move, or are replaced before preparation and finishing begin.
Planning more than cabinets? Compare the interior painting scope or exterior painting scope.
Cabinet refinishing should be scoped as a finish system, not ordinary wall painting. The estimate should address cleaning, sanding or deglossing, adhesion, doors and drawers, masking, cure time, and the coating proposed for the existing surface.
Images are representative planning visuals, not claims of completed SunRiver projects.
Comparable cabinet estimates start with a complete component count and an honest review of the existing finish before coating or price decisions.
Share the room, rough door and drawer count, current finish, desired color, hardware changes, timing, and any known damage.
An in-person review should identify material, adhesion risks, repairs, masking needs, door-removal plan, and how the kitchen will function during work.
Compare the component list, preparation, primer and coating, application method, hardware work, schedule, cure guidance, and exclusions.
A cabinet quote is easier to compare when it states the proposed color and sheen, whether doors and drawers come off, how boxes and face frames are finished, and whether hardware or hinge holes change.
Illustrative directions only, not product specifications. Confirm actual samples in the room's natural and artificial light.
Your project details were saved for review. They include the painting scope and contact information you submitted.
Use these questions to compare preparation, finish systems, schedule, cure guidance, and hardware details—not just the bottom-line price.
A useful estimate should list the doors and drawers, face frames or boxes, existing material and finish, repairs, preparation, coating system, color and sheen, hardware work, masking, schedule, and cure guidance.
Often, but the existing surface needs inspection first. Grease, peeling coatings, damaged veneer, failing joints, or an unknown finish can change the preparation and may make replacement or repair the better choice for some components.
Dry-to-touch and full-cure times are not the same and vary by coating. The written scope should state when doors and hardware return, when normal kitchen use can resume, and how to protect the finish while it cures.
Only if the written scope says so. Record whether pulls, knobs, hinges, and holes stay, move, or are replaced before preparation begins so the finish and hardware plan agree.
