The kitchen goes under plastic first
Their own site lists cabinetry under specialized paint services, and the photos of the work show something before they show paint: plastic. In the kitchen above, the counters, the island and the floor are sheeted before the sprayer comes out, and a painter works the upper cabinets from a ladder inside the tent. Nothing in that room is exposed to overspray.
That matches how Josh Reeves runs every interior. Their prep includes protecting and removing furniture and fragile items such as pictures, glass items and electronic devices. Abigayle Haynes, whose kitchen went from yellow to white, noticed it: “They worked quick, sent updates, and took care to cover all floors and surfaces.” Ask Josh at the estimate what needs to come out of your kitchen ahead of time, and he will tell you.
The conversation starts with the free estimate. Someone visits, talks through the project, helps with color selection and leaves a printed estimate with materials, labor, pricing and work specifications. Tamra Vandiver had new cabinets painted and put it simply: “He worked with me on budget, timeline, and style.”
Clean, sand, prime: the part nobody photographs
The residential side of the business is built on thorough sanding of all surfaces to create a perfect base before painting, and cabinets are where that matters most. Doors and frames are handled all day, every day, and cooking leaves a film paint will not grip. Their painting tips recommend cleaning with a simple solution of TSP and water, rinsing lightly and letting the surface dry overnight before anything is applied.
What is already on the wood decides what goes on next. Their tips page has a rule that applies to every cabinet door: never put latex, water-based paint on an oil finish, or the other way round. The test is rubbing alcohol on a dry white cloth. If the paint softens and transfers to the cloth, it is water-based latex. A crew that checks this first does not have to guess at the second coat.
Holes, dings and cracks get filled with spackle using a wide, flat blade, left to dry, sanded smooth and primed spot by spot, so a repair never shows through the finish. The photo near the bottom of this page of new cabinets beside a farmhouse sink, unpainted and in progress, shows the other starting point: bare wood waiting for its primer.
Spray when the finish calls for it
Their FAQ answers the brush, roller or spray question honestly: “Each painting project is different, and we use whichever tools are best for each job. Typically, we use brushes and rollers. Some specialty jobs may require a spray for a high quality finish.” Cabinets are the specialty job that sentence has in mind, and two photos on this page show the sprayer working inside a sealed kitchen.
The paint is a decision you make together. Tamra remembered it this way: “He suggested a certain paint to use based on my idea I was going for and they turned out beautiful.” The crew works with recognized suppliers including Sherwin-Williams, Behr and Benjamin Moore, and can recommend low fume, eco-friendly products if the kitchen is lived in while the work goes on.
Two reviewers, two directions. Tamra went to black, which she called a show stopper. Abigayle went from yellow cabinets to a white kitchen. The same plastic, the same prep and the same ladder served both, and the color stayed the owner’s call.
Cure time, and living with it
Their tips page says to wait at least 24 hours before bringing furniture back into a freshly painted room, and to allow 30 days before washing. That advice is written for walls. A cabinet door gets handled many times a day, so ask Josh at the estimate what the specific paint he picks needs before the kitchen goes back to full use, and plan your first month of cleaning around it.
Work begins anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks after the estimate, once color selections and work specifications are confirmed and the contract is signed. Then the crew moves fast. Tamra’s words: “They were in and out and worked crazy hard and fast.” You can count on a full clean up when the project is complete and a full walkthrough to address any concerns.
Their line on finishing is the one worth holding them to: our job is not complete until you’re satisfied. Weekdays 8 AM to 5 PM, weekends by appointment, cash or check.
