Hire a cabinet painter for the finish—not the shortcut.
Cabinet painting is detail work. The doors, frames, edges, existing finish, cleaning, preparation, and final coating all matter. Paint It Up Pretty brings 25+ years of painting experience to kitchen cabinet projects across North Georgia.
The finished cabinet is only as good as the work underneath it.
Cabinet painting should not be treated like wall painting. Kitchen surfaces are touched constantly and may have grease, residue, old coatings, worn edges, repairs, and detail areas that affect the final finish.
A good cabinet painter should inspect the existing surface, explain what preparation is needed, protect the surrounding kitchen, and set realistic expectations before applying the finish. Lisa can evaluate all of that during the estimate.
Ask Lisa About My Cabinet Project →Cabinet painting should look intentional—not like paint was simply brushed over the old finish.
The difference is in the preparation, detail work, protection, and the final coating—not just the color you choose.
Inspect before painting
The current coating, wear, grease, damage, and cabinet condition should be looked at before the painting approach is chosen.
Prepare the cabinet surfaces
Cleaning, sanding or deglossing, repairs, and other prep steps may be needed so the new finish has a properly prepared surface.
Finish the details
Doors, frames, edges, corners, visible seams, and touchups all affect whether the finished cabinets look clean and professional.
A cabinet painter should be able to explain every step.
Cabinet projects have a lot of high-touch surfaces and detail work. This is the basic process a homeowner should expect to discuss before the job begins.
Evaluate the existing cabinets
Look at the current finish, surface condition, wear, damage, and whether repainting is appropriate for the cabinets.
Clean the surfaces
Kitchen surfaces can collect grease, residue, and buildup that should be addressed before a new finish is applied.
Prepare the existing finish
Sanding, deglossing, repairs, or other preparation may be needed depending on the existing coating and cabinet condition.
Apply the cabinet finish
The coating system and application approach should match the actual surface and project requirements.
Inspect the final result
Visible surfaces, edges, details, and touchups are checked before the cabinet painting project is considered complete.
Judge the cabinet painter by real finished projects.
Good cabinet painting should still look good up close.
The cabinet color gets the attention, but finish quality lives in the details: visible edges, clean lines, consistent coverage, repaired imperfections, and how the cabinets work with the rest of the kitchen.

Before you hire a cabinet painter.
The quality of a cabinet painting project starts with the condition of the existing cabinets and the preparation plan. Lisa can evaluate the actual surfaces during an estimate.

Look for a painter who evaluates the existing cabinet finish, explains the cleaning and preparation process, protects the kitchen, sets clear expectations, and can show real kitchen work.
