This Ballwin cabinet painting, base, crown and door painting and wall painting was requested by the homeowner who got tired of an old dated faux finish look in their home and wanted a big change. Yes that is faux finished crown.. faux finished baseboards, door trim and doors. And the cabinets. Yes the aged/stressed look added to the cabinets. Even the ceilings are a cream color.

So we helped them take this dark dated look and turn the entire first floor into a bright cheery area. All the crown, window sills, doors, baseboards and door trim turned to Pure White. Walls to Crisp Linen. We then primed and repainted the cabinets using enamel urethane paint also in Pure White to match the woodwork. Most of the stressing became much less noticeable after the paint work was complete making a huge improvement in the entire first floor.

Residential repaint in Ballwin. For this project we were repainting all the ceilings and the walls including the stairwell to the lower level of this condo located in Valley Park/Ballwin area.

While jobs like this seem simple they generally are except for one factor and that’s a lot of furniture and nowhere to go with it. While doing the ceilings it’s a bigger challenge so there is a lot of plastic laid, lots of tarps and some stretching to reach all the areas.

In this situation and with the timing available it was easier for ceiling painting to complete one half the ceiling and then the other. By splitting into the smaller areas ceilings are painted then prep everything else in those areas and prepare for wall paint. Then move everything over to the other side and do the same thing. By this point with all ceilings done everything goes back to the center of the room for the remainder of the wall painting work.

For this project we completed the living room, stairwell to the lower level, dining room, kitchen, a small hallway and the bathroom. The paint product used was Promar 200 using the low sheen eg-shel paint that offers a nice flat look but a finish that can also be cleaned without damage.

This was mostly a whole house repaint for these new homeowners in Maryland Heights, Missouri. Lots of bold colors and accents throughout. We also did a repaint of the kitchen cabinet doors after a botched prior paint job and painted both bathroom vanities. The cabinets had unfortunately been painted with the wrong paint and base primer and then laid outside to dry. That led to grit in the paint and a heavy stipple from using latex wall paint on cabinets. There was unfortunately nothing that could be done about the underlying issue that the wrong primer was used to bond to the cabinets so to save the homeowner some cash we advised in sanding down where possible and coating with our normal enamel urethane base paint. The two vanities were done entirely by us and came out with a nice smooth finish.

This is the cabinet condition when we got to the job. The owners were offered our cabinet services but decided to have someone else do them based on a cost factor. The end result is the cabinets are pretty much ruined because the base primer coat used was a normal multi-purpose primer which absolutely will not bond to laminated cabinet doors. This means the risk of peeling down the road is very high. The rest of the damage was caused by using normal latex wall paint instead of at least an enamel paint which is much more durable and can resist peeling. With the product we use having an additional urethane layer the customer had us apply a coat of it over what’s existing after the doors were sanded down as much as possible. The end result are smoother doors and a more consistent finish however it is only a hope the enamel will lock down firm enough to keep the underlying layers intact.

Cabinet repaint in De Soto, MO. These are always fun transformations.. in this case taking medium depth stained wood cabinets to a nice fresh white surface. As is the normal process for these we pulled all the doors and drawer panels, did a degloss, applied the usual primer and then applied three topcoats of Emerald urethane enamel. Let them dry over the weekend and remounted them. Since this paint has an amazing leveling ability this was done with a brush and a special super smooth small roller – nothing was sprayed. If you are thinking of refreshing the look of your kitchen and want painted cabinets give us a call to discuss. There are literally over a thousand colors to choose from as almost any color you could paint on a wall can be done with cabinets and some customers are opting for a tuxedo style paint which is a different color on the upper and lower cabinets.
