Why you Should NOT hire a House Painter to paint your Kitchen Cabinetry
Any house painter can paint your cabinets so why do you need a specialist? This is a question I am certain many people will ask themselves when they decide to move forward with hiring out their cabinet refinishing project.
A house painter will likely be a much more affordable option for your project and the reason is simple. They are going to just paint over your cabinets.
More about why not to hire a House Painter for your Cabinet Project
Your kitchen cabinets are the most used surface in your home, they need more than the standard approach to painting by house painters and DIY bloggers. Saving money on painting your cabinets the easy way can come at a great cost.
When you hire a specialist to paint your cabinets (a company that offers it as their primary service) you have a much better chance of getting a quality job done. You have likely noticed that I focus heavily on the foundational prep work. There is more to the process than just that, but without those steps, you are building on an unstable foundation. We outline our process on our website in detail so that our customers can have a clear understanding of what we do and why.

The Right Team for the Job
When it comes to a service-based business, bigger is rarely better. More people in an organization often leads to more problems and a diluted experience. Some companies hire out work to sub-contractors to avoid having a lot of employees. This approach makes them more of a middle man than a company. You do not know who you are hiring in this situation and are simply rolling the dice.
Small companies have a tendency to overbook themselves and always be too busy to offer their best services. They mean well but just can’t manage the volume of work coming in properly.
Both sides always want to get as much done as possible to earn their profit margins so rushing around is the easiest way to make that happen. This leads to cutting corners, overlooking details, and simply not having the time to do things right.
We set out to provide an experience that works best for the customer and our company, The Kammes Colroworks Experience! We have just the right number of workers in our small family business to be the most efficient and effective at what we do so you get more for your money and we have the time allowed to do your job the right way every time. All of our workers have mastered their skill sets. You always get the A-team when you hire Kammes Colorworks for your kitchen cabinet painting project and we want to impress you with our abilities!
Common Questions
(click for answers)
How will my cabinets hold up once they are painted?
I like to compare this situation with a new car. If you take care of them, they will last for many years to come. The prep work we do will protect you from the problems that you would be getting from the standard paint jobs. Our process and products will give you excellent chip resistance and paint won’t just flake off of your cabinets during use the way it does with bad cabinet paint jobs.
Does it save money to Paint my cabinets vs Replacing or Re-facing?
Our cabinet refinishing process is generally about 15% of the cost to replace your cabinets and that doesn’t even include unforeseen expenses that follow when you are making the change. Refacing your cabinets by getting new doors and veneering over your boxes is about the same cost as new cabinets without the extra expenses that go with full cabinet removal. Refinishing your cabinets will save you a lot of money and create less waste. Also, keep in mind if your cabinets are currently a stained finish they are most likely much more solid wood than what you would buy new in a store as “paint grade”. Why pay more for less quality?
What services do you offer to your customers?
Whether you need kitchen cabinet painting or need to reverse the damage caused by another painter, our process is the answer! We offer more than just cabinet re-finishing and can add carpentry and island enhancements for a more custom look, and change your hinges for an updated appearance or just better functionality. If you have grainy oak cabinetry our process will help fill in the grain to give them a smoother look while preserving the natural beauty of the wood.
If you are in the process of planning, check out our Project Planning page to help you along.
Do you offer a warranty?
The first thing you need to realize about warranties in the coatings industry is that they are mostly a sales technique. Once all the disclosures are added into the legal print it is really up to the company (or the court system if taken that far) if they want to help. A warranty is only as good as the company offering it. We believe in taking the right measures so that there is no need for all that, and we like to keep things as simple as a good word and a handshake.
Do you really want a company that offers gimmicky guarantees and warranties that seem too good to be true? If they seem that way, they probably are. The stress of having an unqualified worker coming into your home endlessly to fix things that should have been done the first time does not sound like a calming experience to me. In these cases things tend to get worse instead of better.
We simply focus on having a dedicated team that does it right. Big companies need big guarantees to build trust. They spend much of their time on damage control to maintain their reputation. That is not our business model. We like to put our time and passion into the details of refinishing your cabinetry. That way you can enjoy your kitchen without the stress.
Please look over our Cabinet Care page to find ways of preventing damage to your cabinetry. In the event that there are problems let us know what is happening so we can help!
Have a door that took some damage from hard usage or a random accident? Get in touch with me and bring it by the shop, we will make it new again, no big deal.
Google Review
Kammes Colorworks did a great job from beginning to end with our kitchen cabinet refinishing project. After receiving multiple bids their estimate was the most reasonably priced and their customer service was by far the best. They provided an accurate estimate, samples for us to view ahead of time, communicated regularly throughout the project, and were spot on with their timeline. They were very clean, friendly, detail oriented, and the finished product is amazing. Our old cabinets literally look brand new. I would highly recommend Kammes Colorworks, they were all around one of the best contractors we’ve ever used.

We’ve worked with several home improvement contractors over the years and our experience with Kammes Colorworks was as good as it gets. We investigated every kitchen cabinet makeover scenario possible – new cabinets, refacing, and refinishing…and we’re so happy we elected to go with refinishing. Our cabinets look like they are factory finished and it was by far the least cost option. In addition – Lenny and his family are great to work with. From the “low maintenance” estimate process (all e-mail driven) through to the final job completion- the project was well outlined and delivered perfectly on schedule. The most difficult part of the process was choosing what paint color to go with! Most important the final product is truly outstanding – these guys are specialists at what they do. Highly, highly recommend Kammes Colorworks!

We had a wonderful experience with the Kammes family! They were friendly, organized and thorough. Very easy to work with! They completely revamped our kitchen cabinets – we went from original honey oak to beautiful white (I have always wanted a white kitchen!!) and replaced all of the pulls on cabinets and drawers. Their skill is truly an art! So pleased with the work they did! We have gotten showered in compliments! Highly recommend!

Kammes Colorworks was incredible! Our family could not be more happy and grateful that we found Lenny, his sister, and his dad. We had a very unfortunate contractor experience earlier this year with another firm that did a terrible job – Kammes Colorworks came to the rescue! They salvaged our cabinets. Workmanship is incredible, nice and on time, extremely organized and professional, knowledgeable, and top notch paint. Thank you all for saving us!! We recommend you to anyone.

Kammes did such an amazing job on our kitchen cabinets! What a fresh new look which makes it look like a total different kitchen. Lenny along with his sister and dad are great people and take such pride in what they do. It’s not just another job for them, they really have a personal touch.
