Cabinet Painting in West Bloomfield for a Factory-Smooth, Durable Finish
Kitchen cabinets take more wear than almost any surface in your home — hands, oils, moisture, cleaning products, and daily use. That’s why cabinet painting requires a specialized process, not the same paint used on walls. JMJ Painting and Powerwashing delivers a prep-first cabinet system designed for strong adhesion, a smooth feel, and a finish that resists chipping and sticking.

What’s Included in a Professional Cabinet Painting Project
The difference between “painted cabinets” and a “factory-smooth cabinet finish” is the system: cleaning, prep, priming, and the right cabinet-grade coatings. Here’s what our process typically includes.
Degreasing & Surface Prep
Kitchens build up invisible residue that can cause paint to fail. We clean and de-gloss so primers and coatings can bond properly.
- Deep cleaning and degreasing
- De-glossing for better adhesion
- Masking to keep your home protected
Repairs & Sanding
We address dings, worn edges, and uneven surfaces so the final finish looks smooth and consistent across doors, drawer fronts, and face frames.
- Minor repairs and smoothing
- Sanding for a uniform surface
- Detail prep at corners and profiles
Bonding Primer
Primer is the “grip” layer that helps cabinets resist chipping and peeling. We use adhesion-focused primers suited to the cabinet’s material and prior finish.
- Improved adhesion on slick surfaces
- Helps unify color and sheen
- Stain/tannin control when needed
Cabinet-Grade Topcoats
Cabinet coatings are chosen for hardness and cleanability. We apply a system designed to cure properly so doors and drawers feel smooth and resist everyday wear.
- Durable, cleanable cabinet finishes
- Consistent sheen and coverage
- Careful reassembly and final check

Why Cabinet Painting Is Different Than Wall Painting
Cabinets are high-touch surfaces. Paint has to resist oils, moisture, abrasion, and frequent cleaning — while still looking smooth. Here’s what separates a durable cabinet finish from a quick repaint.
Adhesion Is Everything
Cabinet doors often have slick finishes or residue that repels paint. Degreasing, de-glossing, and bonding primers create the foundation that keeps the finish from peeling.
Hardness and Cure Time
Cabinet coatings need time to cure to a harder finish. We plan timelines and provide care tips so the finish stays clean and strong during the early weeks.
Light Shows Every Detail
Kitchens and bathrooms have bright, direct light that reveals imperfections. Our sanding and finish approach is designed to keep the final look consistent.
Clean Operation Matters
Doors and drawers need to close and open smoothly. Organization, careful reassembly, and detail checks help the cabinets feel “right” when the project is complete.
Cabinet Painting FAQs
Common questions West Bloomfield homeowners ask before painting cabinets.
Will painted cabinets chip?
Any finish can chip with impact, but a professional cabinet system dramatically improves durability. Proper cleaning, bonding primer, and cabinet-grade topcoats are the biggest factors in resisting chipping and peeling.
How long does cabinet paint need to cure?
Cabinets typically feel “dry” before they’re fully cured. We’ll share simple guidelines for early use and cleaning so the finish hardens properly and stays looking new.
Do you paint cabinet boxes, doors, and drawers?
Projects can include doors, drawer fronts, face frames, and cabinet boxes depending on your goals. During the walkthrough we’ll confirm what’s included so the final look is consistent.
Can you help with color selection?
Yes. Cabinet colors can change the entire feel of a kitchen. We can help you choose a tone and sheen that looks clean in your lighting and pairs well with countertops and flooring.
