Milford Painters Who Actually Get It

Legends Construction has been handling painting projects across Michigan for over 10 years. We’ve been operating for about two years under current ownership by two brothers who focus on one simple principle: do the work right so customers call us back. We understand Milford homeowners. Most homes here were built in the late 80s and 90s, which means kitchens that were perfectly fine then but feel dated now. Rather than gutting everything, smart homeowners are choosing cabinet painting to get that updated look without the massive expense and disruption. We know Michigan’s climate demands. We use materials and techniques that hold up to humidity changes, temperature swings, and the wear that comes with daily family life.

Cabinet Painting Process Milford

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

First, we remove all cabinet doors and drawer fronts to work on them properly. This happens at your home, so you can see exactly what’s being done. Next comes the prep work that makes the difference between a paint job that lasts and one that chips in six months. Every surface gets cleaned, sanded, and primed. Any damage gets fixed. Any gaps get filled. This isn’t rushed work. The painting happens with high-quality materials designed for kitchen use. Multiple coats ensure even coverage and durability. Cabinet boxes get painted on-site while doors and drawers are finished in controlled conditions for the smoothest possible result. Finally, everything gets reinstalled with precision. Hardware gets aligned properly. Doors get adjusted to close smoothly. You get a kitchen that looks professionally done because it was.

What You Get With Professional Cabinet Painting

Complete surface preparation including cleaning, sanding, and damage repair. Quality primer that creates the foundation for paint adhesion. Professional-grade paint specifically chosen for kitchen durability and easy cleaning. In Milford’s older homes, this often means dealing with previous paint layers, wood grain issues, and hardware that needs updating. Our process accounts for these common challenges without charging extra for basic prep work that should be included anyway. You also get realistic timelines. Most cabinet painting projects in Milford homes complete within a week. You lose access to your kitchen for about two and a half days total. Compare that to the months of disruption that come with full kitchen renovations. Our goal is a finish that looks factory-fresh and holds up to daily use. That means proper curing time between coats, attention to high-wear areas like door edges, and making sure everything functions smoothly when the job is complete.

How long does cabinet painting take in a typical Milford kitchen?

Most cabinet painting projects in Milford homes complete within 5-7 days from start to finish. You’ll only lose full access to your kitchen for about 2-3 days while cabinet boxes are being painted and everything dries properly. The timeline depends on the number of cabinets and their condition. Kitchens with extensive damage or multiple previous paint layers need more prep time. Straightforward projects with cabinets in decent shape move faster. We remove doors and drawer fronts on day one, so you can still access your cabinets for essentials while work continues. Most families find they can manage normal routines with minimal disruption, especially compared to full kitchen renovations that shut down the space for months.

What's the cost difference between cabinet painting and replacement in Milford?

Cabinet painting typically costs 60-80% less than full cabinet replacement. While new cabinets for an average Milford kitchen often run $15,000-$30,000 or more, professional cabinet painting usually falls in the $3,000-$8,000 range depending on kitchen size and scope. The exact cost depends on factors like the number of doors, current condition, and any repairs needed. Kitchens with good cabinet boxes but dated finishes are perfect candidates for painting rather than replacement. You get the updated look you want without the massive expense or extended timeline. The money saved often goes toward other kitchen updates like countertops, backsplashes, or appliances that make a bigger impact than new cabinet boxes would.

Will painted cabinets hold up to daily use in a busy kitchen?

Yes, when done properly with the right materials and techniques. Professional cabinet painting uses specialized primers and paints designed specifically for kitchen environments. These products resist moisture, grease, heat, and daily wear much better than standard wall paint. The key is proper preparation and using quality materials. Every surface gets thoroughly cleaned and sanded for paint adhesion. Multiple thin coats provide better durability than one thick coat. High-wear areas like door edges and handles get extra attention. Most professionally painted cabinets in Milford homes look great for 8-12 years with normal use. They clean easily with standard kitchen cleaners and hold up well to the humidity and temperature changes that come with Michigan’s climate. The finish is designed to be both beautiful and functional.

Can you paint over existing stain or previous paint on cabinets?

Yes, both stained and previously painted cabinets can be successfully painted over with proper preparation. Stained cabinets need thorough cleaning and specialized primer to prevent bleed-through. Previously painted cabinets need assessment of the existing paint condition and appropriate prep work. The preparation process varies based on what’s currently on your cabinets. Glossy finishes get sanded for better adhesion. Peeling or damaged paint gets removed. Stained wood gets sealed properly to prevent tannins from bleeding through the new paint. This flexibility is one advantage of professional cabinet painting. Whether your cabinets are natural wood, stained, or painted in a color you no longer like, they can be transformed into exactly what you want. The prep work ensures the new finish bonds properly and lasts for years.

Do you handle cabinet hardware during the painting process?

Yes, all cabinet hardware gets removed before painting begins and reinstalled when the job is complete. This includes hinges, handles, knobs, and any decorative elements. Everything gets labeled so it goes back in the right place. This is also the perfect time to update hardware if you want a completely fresh look. New handles or knobs can dramatically change your kitchen’s style for a relatively small additional cost. We can discuss options during the initial consultation. If you’re keeping existing hardware, it gets cleaned and checked for proper function during reinstallation. Hinges get adjusted so doors close properly. Drawer slides get aligned for smooth operation. The goal is cabinets that not only look great but function better than before.

What preparation is needed before cabinet painting starts?

You’ll need to remove items from inside cabinets and clear countertops in the work area. We handle protecting floors, appliances, and other surfaces from paint and dust. Most homeowners find it easiest to pack cabinet contents in boxes temporarily. The kitchen doesn’t need to be completely empty, but having clear access to all cabinet surfaces makes the work go faster and smoother. Items can stay in cabinets that aren’t being painted, like pantry areas or islands that aren’t part of the project. We also do a walkthrough before starting to identify any repairs needed and confirm the scope of work. This prevents surprises and ensures you know exactly what to expect. The goal is a smooth process from start to finish with clear communication throughout.
