Changing your cabinets is an effective way to transform an entire room.  You can paint the walls in your kitchen and replace the appliances, but if the cabinets are dated or drab, your hard work is in vain.  Changing your cabinets adds character or warmth to your home, and adds value and curb appeal as well, if you plan to sell.  Depending on your budget, your timeline, and your aesthetic vision for your kitchen, you can choose to completely replace the cabinets, reface them, or refinish them.  The question is, which cabinet transformation method is best for you?

For every surface to be painted, there is a method that suits it best. The traditional paint brush and roller are still the best option for many painting projects, but there are some areas of the home for which a paint sprayer will do the best work. In most cases, a combination of methods will be used for your project to create the best possible final product. Great painting contractors know how to make each part of your house look its best, and will know when to brush, when to roll, and when to spray. As a homeowner, it can be intimidating to think of paint being sprayed onto any area of your home, but there are actually many cases in which the paint spray gun is safe and effective and will give the best results.

Kitchen cabinets receive daily use, and the wear and tear can really begin to show. Cooking grease, spray oil, and dirty fingerprints build up on cabinet surfaces, and nicks, dings, and dents seem to mysteriously multiply. Outdated cabinets likewise can make an entire kitchen seem old or rundown. Finishes and wood stains begin to fade, and paint can chip and peel after years of use. Whether your cabinets are looking dated or dirty, or if you’re simply tired of your kitchen’s appearance, it’s time for a transformation!

Many people believe that the kitchen is the heart of the home and we at The Painting Craftsmen couldn’t agree more. Your kitchen might be cozy but over time you might consider remodeling or cabinet refinishing. This would give your favorite room a nice fresh look.

While some kitchen remodeling projects can easily be done in a few hours, cabinet refinishing is a complicated process. While we don’t advise doing this on your own, if you have the proper tools, adequate ventilation and know what kind of finish you have on your existing cabinets, it can be a do it yourself project.

It’s April and Florida residents are getting ready to enjoy the summer months, soaking in the sun, tanning by the pool, or relaxing outdoors in the evening with friends.  More and more people are opting to stay home during their summer vacation for convenience and affordability.  Sprucing up the home may be necessary for you to feel like you are on vacation in the comfort of your own home.

Home improvement projects not only make you feel like you are in a brand new home, but add a lot of extra value. The kitchen and bathroom are two rooms where that value goes the farthest. Quality appliances, spaciousness and aesthetic appeal in these two rooms can make all the difference. If you are looking to renovate, there are a few ways where you can save. Before going out to purchase kitchen cabinets or replacing your bathroom cabinets, consider an alternative.  Why replace when you can refinish?
