## Kitchen cabinet painting in Syracuse
Kitchen cabinet painting is a precise, multi-step process that transforms the most used room in your Syracuse home without the expense of a full remodel. The work begins with removing all cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware, then thoroughly cleaning every surface to remove years of grease and cooking residue. For Syracuse homes, this step is especially important because our older properties in neighborhoods like Brighton and Eastwood often have cabinets that have accumulated decades of grime from wood-burning stoves and older ventilation systems. After cleaning, we sand all surfaces to create a mechanical bond for the primer, then fill any dents, scratches, or gaps from old hinges with wood filler. We use a high-quality bonding primer specifically formulated for kitchen cabinets, which prevents the tannins in Syracuse’s common oak and maple cabinets from bleeding through the final paint color.
The painting process itself involves multiple thin coats applied with a combination of spray equipment for the door fronts and high-density foam rollers for the cabinet boxes. This approach ensures a smooth, factory-like finish that withstands the daily wear of Syracuse’s variable humidity and the heat from your stove and refrigerator. We allow proper drying time between each coat, typically 24 hours in the summer months when you can open windows, and slightly longer during our damp springs and falls. The final step is reinstalling the doors with new hardware, adjusting hinges so every door hangs straight, and touching up any areas disturbed during reassembly. For Syracuse homeowners, this service matters because it updates kitchens in our many 1920s through 1950s homes, where original cabinets are solid wood but the finishes are outdated or peeling. It also works well for newer homes in DeWitt Acres and DeWittshire where builder-grade cabinets can be upgraded to a custom look at a fraction of replacement cost.

## Areas We Cover in Syracuse
We provide kitchen cabinet painting services throughout Syracuse, including the historic brownstones and carriage houses of Armory Square, the tree-lined streets of Brighton, the family neighborhoods of DeWitt Acres and DeWittshire, the downtown lofts and condos near 601 Tully, the residential blocks of Eastwood, and the homes surrounding the Great New York State Fairgrounds. We also serve properties near the Jamesville Community Museum and the Onondaga Historical Association Museum & Research Center, covering the full range of Syracuse’s architectural styles from Colonial Revivals to mid-century ranches.

## What to Expect

- A consultation to assess your cabinet material, condition, and desired color, with color samples you can hold against your countertops and backsplash.
- Removal of all doors, drawers, and hardware, with careful labeling so everything goes back in the right spot.
- Surface preparation including cleaning, sanding, and filling imperfections, followed by a full day of primer application.
- Two to three coats of premium cabinet-grade paint, with drying time between each coat.
- Reinstallation of doors and drawers with new hinges and pulls, plus a final walkthrough to ensure alignment and coverage.
- The entire process typically takes 4 to 7 days, with your kitchen fully usable during the work except for the cabinets themselves.
