Frequently Asked Questions

Our cabinet coating process times varies on the size of kitchen. Typically our turn around time is one week, leaving room for variables however. From a free, in-home estimate, we can get your job scheduled. The main works days in-home include: cabinet pick-up, frame painting and installation. This totals usually three to four separate days that someone from CCF will be in home. 

Yes! That is one of the best parts of our cabinet painting process. You can function in your kitchen normally. We use a special vacuum powered sanding tool, which prevents dust in the home. No spraying of paint is done in the kitchen, preventing the need to tape off the entirety of the kitchen. No! Please avoid using the kitchen at times when our team is in the home. Minimal use is okay, but we ask that you are not doing heavy cooking on those days, as it slows our team down.  

Absolutely! This is the perfect time to update cabinet hardware and switch to soft close hinges. If the new hardware has different holes than the old, we will fill the old holes and drill new holes to accommodate the new hardware. Many clients choose to upgrade to soft-close hinges at this time as well, but is in no way required. 

You betcha. We can color match any color of paint on the planet. If you have a shade in mind, get the color number/name, or a physical object we can take in and we will have it color matched. 

Sure! We can take care of the ordering of brand new doors for your cabinets. Some customers choose to order new doors if the old ones are really in bad shape or they just want a different style than they currently have. Either way, we can help you get brand new doors ordered if you choose to go that route. 

Step 1 of your cabinet transformation! (3-4  hours  on  average)

CCF will be taking your cabinet doors and drawers, the process has begun! 

• In  most  cases,  drawer  faces  come  off.    Please  make sure to have the front half emptied  (need  at  least  6  inches  for  the  drill)
• If drawer faces do not come off empty all drawers
• Clear  off  all  countertops  so  that  we  can  stack  doors  and  not  harm  any  counter  top  appliances  or  dishes  
• Have Knobs or Pulls Picked Out
• Have Colors Finalized
• Remove anything pinned or taped to cabinets  (including  those  secret  recipes  taped  inside!) 
• Pets put away in a safe location

Step 2!  Cabinet transformation mid-way (On average 3 days  depending  on  size  of  kitchen)

CCF will be in home painting the cabinet boxes.

• Countertops cleared off
• Push everything back inside cabinet boxes  at  least  3  inches, nothing protruding that would interfere  or  get  paint  on  it  (full  disclosure:  anything  you  leave  in  the  cabinet  boxes  or  drawers  may  get  paint  or  dust  on  it)
• Minimal use of kitchen (don't plan to bake a cake that day)
• Avoid having other contractors scheduled to work in kitchen 
• Depending on size, this will take on average 3 days
• Touch-ups are normal and CCF will take care of them
• Pets put away in a safe location

Step 3!  Cabinet transformation complete (On average 1 full day)

• Countertops cleared off
• Have new hardware unpackaged and ready to be installed
• Pets put away in a safe location 
• Minimal use of kitchen
• Avoid having other contractors scheduled in the kitchen
• Prepare to be AMAZED! 

Cabinets will have a hard, smooth finish and should clean easily. Use warm water and a gentle degreaser for stains. Do not use anything abrasive to clean the cabinets.
