Muchlinski-cabinets-2026

We are happy to move larger objects inside the home — couches, tables, desks, etc. Furniture is often placed in the middle of the room and covered to prevent paint splatter.

We prefer not to move any items of higher value: artwork, collectibles, computers, etc. Our crew is not able to remove any electronics that are permanently attached to walls.

We protect all surfaces that are not being painted. This document is your written guarantee that our workers will not slop paint on any surfaces not included in the project scope.

• Furniture: Moved as needed and covered with painter’s plastic.
• Baseboards: Masked with blue tape and masking paper to prevent roller splatter and overspray.
• Flooring: Protected using drop cloth or masking paper throughout all work areas.
• Counter tops: Masked and protected using drop cloth or paper masking.
• Kitchen Cabinets: Covered entirely with painter’s plastic to prevent splatters or overspray.

We will remove and reinstall power outlet and light switch covers, lights, and any other hardware that can safely be removed. Washer/dryers and some refrigerators will be pulled out and pushed back once the area behind them has been painted.

Not removed: Hanging lights/chandeliers, cabinets, trim, millwork, doors, etc.

1. Remove doors & all hardware
2. Sand all surfaces to improve primer adhesion
3. Vacuum dust & inspect surface for imperfections; dents, scratches, etc.
4. Using fine-finish sprayers, apply 1 coat of oil based wood primer (Zinsser)
5. Once dry, sand primer and inspect for any flaws; dents, scratches, etc.

Following preparation, primer, and caulking, we apply 3 coats of Sherwin Williams Emerald® Urethane Trim Enamel to doors and the exterior of cabinet boxes. Sufficient dry time is allowed between coats based on temperature and humidity. Manufacturer specifications apply.

We inspect closely and address imperfections in-between coats. We use automotive grade bond (BONDO 907) to fill any holes, dents, scratches, or other signs of wear.

We employ a special method to produce straight lines that are machine-made perfect. This is a step-by-step process we use on every interior project: ceiling lines, around door and window trim, baseboard lines, and any other place where two colors meet.

Roughly 5-8 business days from the start of the project, we return with perfectly painted doors. We install the doors, adjust them, and also install bumpers.
