Explore a new finish for kitchen, bathroom, or built-in cabinetry with Alfarero. The cabinet material and existing coating matter as much as the color. A surface review helps establish whether repainting is appropriate and what preparation belongs in the estimate.
Build your scope
What are you planning?
- Kitchen and bathroom cabinet inquiries
- Doors, drawer fronts, and face frames
- Built-ins and painted millwork
- Finish samples and scope planning
Define which parts get finished.
Door fronts, backs, drawer faces, cabinet boxes, interiors, shelves, and trim are separate scope decisions. Identify hardware changes and damaged components. A useful estimate describes the parts and the expected finish rather than treating all cabinets as one surface.
Check what the coating must bond to.
Existing paint, clear finishes, laminate, and damaged manufactured materials need different evaluation. Cleaning, preparation, and an appropriate primer or coating system should be established for the actual substrate. A new color cannot correct swelling, failing material, or a loose existing finish.
Leave time for the finish to develop.
Cabinet coatings need the product-specific application and cure schedule. Coordinate handling, reassembly, and normal use with those instructions. A painted sample also helps set expectations for existing wood grain, texture, sheen, and the chosen application method.
An estimate with context
What shapes the price?
Price follows the actual work. These are the details to have ready for a site-specific estimate.
- Cabinet material and existing finish
- Door, drawer, and interior quantities
- Damage, hardware changes, and use of the kitchen
Before you begin
Questions worth asking.
Choose a coating intended for the surface and use. Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel is one option to review for cabinets and trim; the complete preparation and primer approach still depends on the substrate.
Not automatically. Discuss whether visible grain is acceptable and whether additional filling or surface work is included. Approve a representative sample before assuming a smooth, factory-like appearance.
