The haters call this ripping people off? 🤷♂️ I call it PRO moves 👍
My man! Right on!
Agreed!
It's a rental and it makes sense. If it's repairable in a very good way, cost effective and it will last, why would you not go that route?!?!
The haters are just noobs.
Haters do not have rental properties.
This man is giving out FREE GAME!
AMEN
Thank you!!
As someone who worked professionally as a painter for several years, I would highly advise anyone who has never done a painting project such as this to avoid using a sprayer.
It’s extremely difficult to account, not only for overspray that could mess up other stuff, but flow control and speed are a vital aspect to doing an excellent spray job. Go even a little too slow and you end up with too much product on whatever it is your spraying, the product runs, and you end up with thick raindrop looking globs of paint running down the side that then dry and need to be sanded off and redone completely. Move to fast and you end up with too thin of a coating that means you have to go back and spray on another coat.
Most people starting out will find that ( even if they did it right) they will need to spray on a second coat in order to achieve even coverage. Spraying in the end uses up a larger amount of paint than rolling or brushing, but is the only way to get that sleek, untouched and perfect look. Brushing leaves strokes in the finish and rolling leaves a raised bumpy texture in the finish.
Keep in mind of what you want, what you’re ok with, and finally what you’re skill level is actually at. And let me just finish by saying that most of my interior work was to go back and fix what home owners messed up on their own, thinking they could do it themselves.
Respect painters. They are professional craftsman like anyone else.
Good advice! As with most things, it's an art to perfect, eh?
Meet Kevin Indeed! Let alone spraying, brushing and rolling take plenty of practice before you’re proficient enough to do a quality job without ruining the surrounding surfaces or your paint job.
For anyone wanting to spray, a good place to start would be outside and on a fence. It’s outside and away from the house, and fences are much more forgiving than interior cabinets! Bring a brush with you when you go to spray and go back over what you spray with your brush to even out your coat as you lay your product down.
This will keep your paint job looking even while giving you the feel for what working with a sprayer is like.
In my honest opinion though, unless you’re going to redo all the enamel in your flip/rental or all the paint in general, only use a sprayer for exterior work. All the time and effort as well as masking materials for setting up for an interior job is just an unnecessary expense.
Without masking and just using a drop cloth and some wet rags, I can do a paint job in a single room such as yours in two days all on my own.
Learning how to do a clean cut-in on all the edges of what you’re painting will save you some serious time once you get better at it!
Tom Better to do that the first time rather than spend $500, ruin your paint job, damage surrounding surfaces, then pay me MORE thousands to fix EVERYTHING that was ruined!
I hired a guy who has an auto painting spray area. He also does cabinets. He took all the doors and drawer fronts to his dustfree space and then reinstalled them. Also spray painted outside of cabinet boxes. Total 1500 versus 18000 ' refacing ' estimate. Not as cheap as Kevin's but still a good deal.
Will Graves agreed! My husband says the same thing. Pay someone who can do it right the first time.
you literally saved me thousands by inspiring me to do this instead of gutting!! thank you!
TH-cam officially has more ads than tv
I have premium so i never have ads.
Not really... the ads are significantly shorter than on tv. And it makes Kevin money directly. I don't see a problem with it.
Oct 13 2019 I got no ads and I don't pay youtube for premium.
Michael Stock you get what you pay for 😊 Try TH-cam premium
I had to literally say holy s+%t. That is some awesome work. I like that color too. 👍👍👍

If you don't want to deal with dangerous ammonia (maybe you are chemically sensitive like I am) - you can get the same results with simple baking soda. Spread it liberally over the area you want to clean, spray it down until soaked with water, then let it sit overnight. It gets disgusting ovens looking brand-new, burnt pans squeaky clean, etc.
I seen someone clean pans with baking soda...I was amazed!!
Or Bar Keepers Friend both are great and less toxic smell
Wow, great!! I re-did my old 1979 cabinets by myself when I was 7 months pregnant. It took me an entire month because I had to sand. Wish I had these tips but it's good to know for the future, thanks I love your videos and love real estate!
I found this very helpful for me. I have been looking for a simple and cost effective way to update my kitchen.
This is awesome! We have been delaying repainting our kitchen cabinets for years now. That’s about to change thanks to you!
That primer is an excellent product I used it in my basement on wood paneling. No problems! Very durable.
Hey! Low VOC paint spoils quickly. Just a heads up.
Most paint lasts for 10-15 years as long as you store it in a place where your paint won't freeze.
Also 1 gallon covers 400 sqft. (So like a 10ftx10ft room)
So 5 gallons covers 2000 sqft.

Nice, we just helped my friend remodel kitchen floor for a fixer upper for less then $1000. It was fun too! I’ll upload a video on it soon.
This guy is awesome and he gave me hope on how to get out of after divorce depression setting out new targets in my life! Wish you, Kevin, all the best and you mate have the power to change other people's lives to better ones.
I love the way the cabinets came out. Great Job Kevin. Thank you for sharing!!
Meet Kevin; froze my credit & got new management on our vacation rental! Killing it this week, thanks for all the inspirational videos.
Nice job freezing! And Thank you!!
froze my credit too
Thanks for sharing! I love how the cabinets came out!
One of the best videos you've ever put out. Great content
This approach over a whole lifetime is a lot of money that stays in the bank.
Make sure you use gloves with the tsp. It doesn’t have a strong chemical smell but is a strong chemical. Also be sure to rinse that product well. If you don’t, you can have adhesion issues.
Incredibly economical sweat equity. I've never heard of those products before, and it looks incredible. And with the kitchen being the best ROIC of the whole house, I'm sure you got well over 100% return on your $650. A lot of value in this video
Yeah, that zinser stuff is awesome. I had a professional painter recommend it to me once. I’ll have to try this cabinet trick sometime.
One of the most informational videos I've seen as to saving money hacks for refurbishing properties.
Thanks Kevin, trying this this week on one of my small rentals
I use this product for all of the undercoating and it does require sanding. The liquid sander is intended for when you already have a topcoat and don't need to prime the surface.
The cabinets look really nice though.
Kevin, the kitchen looks Fabulous. Thank you for showing us how easy it is to transform kitchen cabinets. I'm having my hubby watch this video because I have wanted my cabinets to be painted and now they are going to be. Thanks again. 👍🏻👍🏻👏⭐️⭐️
I have a porcelain kitchen sink and I have found that a Magic Eraser used with Comet cleans those scratches and yellow stains right up.
2008MrsKim thank you, I wish I had seen your comment 3 months ago when I lived in my previous apartment for those stained ceramic kitchen sinks, but that’s not all the problems with that apartment, do you know how you get of poltergeists?😱
@@kelleymariejones6388 tell them they are raising the rent, works everytime
2008MrsKim 😂😂😂😂😂
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works miracles. It's the only thing that cleans my sink to look like new!
@@kelleymariejones6388 Just don't use the comet powder... it puts fine scratches which then collect dirty dish crud and destroy the shiny surface over time. Yes... it's nice and whiter for a little bit, but you can really see and feel the difference.. use liquid bleach products
Dannngggg that is some solid info - PRO MOVES
I got a lot of value out of this video, keep up the great work thanks!
You sir are a Guru! Haha! You have been the only TH-camr from any realtor/business advisor I find entertained and learn more from. Thank you!
This is INSANELY helpful. I just bulleted all of these products and steps for my future wedge deals.
Awesome!!
May be use this to bring a kitchen back to life sooner than later. This video is right on time Kevin🎯
Thanks!
Perfect timing. Just purchased my first home and want to update the kitchen. Thanks!
Janelle Scott 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 me too, I need to update everything for a rental property. Congratulations 💪🏾💪🏾
Nice tips Kev!!! Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Officially... mind blown with the primer idea!
Nice work kevin . Very impressed you did this your self 👌
Love these kinds of videos.. very informative. Thank you
There’s no better channel that takes you this deep into REAL LIFE real estate investing situations.
Ah, Thank you!!
Couldn't have said it better! I take notes on all.
Congrats Kevin, although I did my oak to white kitchen renovation for around $460 two years ago using 409 degreaser, xylene, Zinsser primer, the alkyd enamel AND including a brand new microwave over the range, embossed metal look backsplash from Home Depot (I'm not sponsored by Lowes) and stainless pulls from Ebay. And I didn't paint over my hinges! 9:44
SUPER valuable video Kev, thank you!
Mad respect for the hustle💯
I love this! I’m looking for a home so it helps a lot to see what little things I should do
Using a foam roller instead of the sprayer is also a good option for the DIYer, use a brush on the recessed areas then foam roll the flat areas, the results with this paint are usually very good.
This video is a gem. You're killing it out there, I can't wait to do the same as soon as I'm independent!
this is a very useful video and this is a great to see people post stuff like this
I know that you’re trying to save money, but nobody is talking about how good for the environment this is. You’ve basically reused everything! No waste, no recycling needed. Good job!
Nice level of depth Kev, and nice video as usual.
Thank you!!
Kevin, rather than spending a day masking, wouldn't it have been easier to take the doors off and spray them separately? LOVE your videos, thanks for sharing.
he definitely should have taken the doors off. Also painting existing cabinets is way harder / time consuming for a DIY'er then all youtube videos make it seem, but take your time and you can do it.
Sanding with an orbital sander isn’t that hard. We did it with our cabinets and we’re glad we did the extra step. It did make a difference on our cabinets we also made a you tube vid on painting them
If you remove them label them where they originally were so you can place them back in the same spots. Might save you a headache on fitment.
Honestly that is so many cabinet doors and drawers oh, it's actually easier leaving in place. Everything has to be labeled if a label falls off your in trouble your painting both sides so how can you label them LOL and then you have to find room in the garage to stand them up! And then you got to be able to screw him back in properly after rehanging they need to be leveled again! Lots of work if you take them off
We suggest painting them in another out of the way room whether basement or in our case a 3 season porch away from the kitchen. Set up on tables & better to label the tabletop where you are painting. We allow way longer drying times than the manufacturer suggest and this way we can still use our kitchen to eat out of. It’s all in our video at silver lining day dreams. Yes it is extra work but well worth it to roll entire cabinet without hardware on as you get a better paint job in our opinion. Our Video is called painting kitchen cabinets white. Our channel is called Silver lining Day dreams
Kevin had no idea who he’d become even at this time! Put the grind in and the recognition will come
Awesome tips ! Thanks bro !
Cabinets looked 👍. I would be curious how they will look in a year or two. We decided to sand our cabinets and watch our painting video and see what you think. Kevin, you should let us know how they look 15 mos later. Thanks for sharing your experience with us
Great video with great information... good job. that kitchen looks great. Thanks man and thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for the great information. You are the best!!
wow Kevin, your content is 💪💪💪💪💪! I've learned so much with you.... you need to come to Pittsburgh!
i love these to the point remodeling videos.! keep them coming!
Kevin great video!! I litterly just did this to my kitchen at my new investment property! Got a bunch of people together and did about 80% in one weekend! I wish I knew about that stain! Definitely going to keep in in mind in the future!
@@albundy3929 I got some friends and family to help me out for free!
I think the products you recommended for the cabinets are really good, the grain barely shows through. Also, the mix of hardware styles helps give things a more designed look. Good job.
bro I’m loving your content
Great video, I’m an out of state investor would love to be more hands on with my properties but due to distance I need to rely on other people some day if quit my W2 I would love to do the small stuff like you just showed us.
Can you make a video of painting hacks? Wall painting and basic Maintenance hacks would be interesting to watch
13:07 The porcelain repair company did great work! I enlarged the image on my phone and still couldn't see the crack on the countertop. The kitchen came out looking well done, clean, and updated! Super job! 💛
Thank you!!
TH-cam must know that I miss these older videos! Love these tips!
First time watching you video. It was great and fun to watch. I will clean my kitchen right because of you and some of the tips thank you
Great video, I'm going to do this with the property I just bought!
Great info. Kevin good upgrade on the kitchen saving money and time is the way.
Wow these are great ideas. Thanks!
More of these videos Kevin these pro tips are money savers
Looking to close on my very first property this month and I'll have the same cabinets to paint and a two tone (cream edged and gray surface) tile countertop to contend with. I'll give your primer a try. Big thumbs up.
Thank you!!
This is a great remodel! Awesome job!
Very practical video for the everyday investor that can use these tips :) love these kind of videos. Maybe we can see a walkthrough next time of you doing a repair/remodel? Would love to see it in real time while condensed into a digestible video format :)
Also protip: "APC", the green stuff made for primarily car care is probably some of the most effective cleaner you can buy. Been using it for sinks, ovens, and various kitchen surfaces for years now. Have yet to find anything that compares.
TSP is the best thing to wash anything!, mostly kitchen and bathroom , works like a charm !
Wonderful! Great info. Thanks for sharing
Super video! Thanks for sharing this information! 💕
Impressive. I know what I need to do on my rental next time when it needs a face lift. Thanks Kevin.
"Epoxy" grout works great to fill in white tile grout. Resists stains really well and needs mimium groove depth to fill in, cover and touch up.
looks great, its also very easy to replace that bullnose white standard tile. I always like painted cabinets, pastel green or blue is nice, if worst comes to worst change counter to butcher block, DIY. 1 day job vs quartzgranite mess...of course dont forget to seal them
Want more videos like these!!!! Thanks a lot Kev
Great video. I would recommend another self leveling paint, but your cabinets turned out great.
Great job on the video, the kitchen looks really good 👍🏾
Great tips, as usual Kevin!
An even easier way to clean those grates are to place them inside the oven on the racks and then run a self clean cycle in the oven. They'll come out looking brand new and you don't have to use any chemicals, yay!
Got my hardware from Amazon for all of my cabinets for only $30. Still work just fine till this day and I still have about 20 left in the box
Thank you so much for this!! You have saved me thousands!!!🤩
Thanks for the useful advice!
These are my favourite kinds of videos!
Subbed and bought the course because of practicalities like this!!
Great job Kevin!
Thanks so much!!
These videos are soo helpful. He really practices what he preaches!
I’m subscribed 👏🏾👏🏾, great video. Keep them coming.
By far my favorite of Kevins videos.
Another amazing video, filled with super good tips for even current homeowners, and just the right amount of pimping your own stuff. Loving the content!
thanks so much!
ty!
Very helpful video. I like that you named specific products. My contractor advised me to use some of the ones you mentioned. Good job! 👍🏿
Beautiful cabinet colors! Very nice!
Kevin thanks for the video. If you wouldn’t mind actually showing us the process in another video that would be great.
Awesome!! So freaking informative :)
Go Kevin! New sub. Love your tips and ideas!
Excellent!
Can you do an episode on upgrading 60amps electrical to 100 or 200 amps! Also, whether or not you should do it.
Gorgeous! Love the gray cabinets.
ty!!
I redid the bathroom downstairs in my parents house (currently live with my parents) cost around 800 for a total redo, new paint, hardware, vanity, faucet, toilet, bidet, floor, and I worked my butt off making sure everything was perfect and level, my sister and mother are extremely detail oriented and totally picked it apart, if they saw those cabinets they would've thrown them out :P
jokes aside, if I could, I would have done these surface repairs for my own, the wear and tear on the bathroom had just gotten to a point where you have to replace the stuff. You can do the touch ups but you might as well do it once and do it right. In a rental I don't think i would have an issue doing what you did since I expect to do work every time a tenant moves out.
Good stuff
Property manager here. I have my painters use that primer on the cabinets, inside and out, and the apartment when you have smokers. Like the gray. I have them spray the cabinets white. Then allow the tenant to paint their own colors. Why I prime. LoL
Great video Kevin. I would personally like to see some in progress footage as well instead of just a before and after. I'm curious about your process for this remodel.
@@albundy3929 in the video he talks about how he does the labor himself in order to save that $2k you mentioned. That's the process I'm talking about seeing.
This video is gold!!! Thank u Kevin!!!
ty!
I like natural wood looking cabinets like the one in this house with Spar Varnish over them. Nobody uses it anymore but Spar Varnish is one of the very best things you can use in a kitchen or on Floors. I hate polyurethane.
Legit video. I’m trying that TSP today
This video is right on time , I start Reno on my. Property next week 💕 Thanks
With love , Nicole how’d it work out for you?
Did you do this method on your cabinets? If so, how’d it turn out?
