Whether it’s a Sunday afternoon football lunch-fest, holiday dinner with the entire family, or late-night snacking, the kitchen is the heart of the home and where family memories are made. 

The kitchen is the most commonly shared space of your home. This creates a much higher need for more consistent upkeep on your kitchen surfaces and cabinets. 

According to the article “2024 U.S. Houszz & Home Study: Renovation Trends”, “Kitchens continue to lead as the most commonly renovated interior room” at 29%.

Frequent wear and tear is very common for homeowners and is usually due to excessive moisture and touch in high-traffic areas. This includes around the sink, above the stove, next to the refrigerator, cabinet knobs and the cabinet's outer frame. 

The cold and rainy seasons are among us. While the weather does not allow for exterior paint jobs, fence refinishing, deck restaining, etc, it is important to acknowledge your options for interior services, like kitchen cabinet repainting!

“How do I know it’s time to repaint my cabinets?”

You may notice the cabinet paint beginning to give off a tacky feel, along with flaking, peeling, and discoloration. The list also includes open cracks on the wooden boards and dirt stains that will not budge.

Are you noticing the hinges and knobs on your cabinets becoming loose, causing sagging and hard-to-open doors? This is often caused by excessive opening and closing of your cabinets.

The Repainting Process:

Looking to freshen up your kitchen, and give it a new look?

This is the time to schedule a color consultation with our painting experts and pick the new color for your new kitchen.

Alternatively, if you are still liking the color of your cabinets, there’s no need to change and repaint your entire kitchen! If that is not your desire, you have the option to repaint only the affected areas, doors, drawer fronts, and frames. 

How to Maintain Your Cabinets:

The most important aspect of maintaining your home’s beauty is cleaning!

Clean the areas often with a soft microfiber cloth damp with water only, or you may also use a very diluted concoction of dish soap. This will aid with grease removal. 

Use a soft scrubbing motion with the cloth to not spread the dirt or grease. Wipe the surface clean with water. 

Leave open to dry. When opening, be sure to avoid touching the painted surfaces with bare hands. Open being sure to touch the handle only. The natural oils produced from your hands are known to break down the augment of the paint and cause discoloration.
