Your kitchen is the heart of your Pleasanton, CA area home, and its cabinets play a major role in both functionality and aesthetics.

Why Choose Professional Cabinet Painting?
While DIY cabinet painting might seem like a simple project, it comes with a range of challenges that can turn an exciting update into a frustrating experience. Hiring a professional ensures:
- Smooth, even application – No streaks, brush marks, or uneven coatings.
- Durable and long-lasting results – We use high-quality, moisture-resistant paints that withstand daily kitchen use.
- Proper surface preparation – Cleaning, sanding, priming, and finishing done the right way.
- Minimal downtime and hassle – We handle the entire process efficiently, so you don’t have to.
Common Cabinet Painting Mistakes and How We Avoid Them
Painting cabinets requires attention to detail and experience. Here are some common pitfalls and how Custom Painting, Inc. ensures a flawless finish:
1. Not Removing Cabinet Doors, Drawers, and Hardware
Our Process: Before we begin, we carefully remove cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware, labeling each piece for seamless reassembly. This ensures a clean, professional finish with no missed spots or messy edges.
2. Failing to Clean Cabinets Thoroughly
Our Process: Kitchen cabinets accumulate grease, grime, and residue over time. We deep clean all surfaces using a grease-fighting cleaner before sanding and priming, ensuring that the new paint adheres properly.
3. Skipping Paint Stripping When Necessary
Our Process: If cabinets have chipping or peeling paint, we thoroughly strip the old layers using professional-grade paint removers and sanding techniques to ensure a smooth new application.
4. Ignoring Dents, Scratches, and Imperfections
Our Process: Before painting, we fill in any holes, scratches, or dents with wood filler or spackle and sand the surface smooth for a seamless final result.
5. Improper Sanding Techniques
Our Process: Sanding is crucial for a smooth, long-lasting finish. We sand surfaces just enough to roughen them for proper paint adhesion—without over-sanding, which can damage cabinet surfaces.
6. Skipping the Primer
Our Process: Skipping primer is a major mistake—it leads to poor adhesion and uneven color. We apply high-quality, stain-blocking primer to create a smooth base for the paint, especially when transitioning from dark to light colors.
7. Using the Wrong Paint or Finish
Our Process: Not all paints are created equal. We only use high-quality, durable, and moisture-resistant cabinet paints in semi-gloss or gloss finishes, ensuring easy cleaning and long-lasting beauty.
8. Choosing the Wrong Paint Applicator
Our Process: We use professional-grade brushes, rollers, and sprayers for a flawless, streak-free finish—no cheap or worn-out tools that lead to uneven application.
9. Rushing the Drying and Curing Process
Our Process: Patience is key! We allow ample drying and curing time between coats to prevent sticky surfaces, smudges, and peeling. After painting, we let the cabinets fully cure before reassembly to ensure maximum durability.
