When caulking do you caulk the cabinet doors? I filled the grain on my doors and filled in the edges where the trim meets the door (on the door) if that makes sense. It has now cracked. I’ve heard if you use a flexible caulk on the doors the doors can still shrink or expand without the caulk cracking is this true?
Great video watch more the 36 mins watch twice. Just can’t fine a good paint that hard as it can be I have used this paint before on a speaker box midnight blue with 2 coat of primer and 3 coats of paint same paint you used but not hard anything place on top makes marks bump it it make a mark. Someone told us d auto paint get hard as a rock for speaker job. What the paint would you used other the this BM ??? But a great video learn a lot of good ideas. Any help would be appreciated ps also what about Lacquer paint ??
I'm a general contractor, and i do a lot of kitchen and bath renovations, and i have occasional clients who request kitchen refinishing. I typically steer them away from it because of some of the poor jobs I've seen done. But your work in this video has opened my eyes to new possibilities. Thank you for sharing. Great job. I learned from my father as well, and I'm so grateful for his tutelage, as i make a great living doing things he and i shared before he passed. Blue Collar Pride is a real thing!
Your comment is humbling Garrett. I'm just recently venturing out on my own to do handyman/GC work as well and admitting there's always still so much to know is refreshing. Glad you're loving what you're doing and are successful, it helps!
I watch the 36 minutes and enjoyed every one of them! Your a great painter and your a great teacher. Thank you for all the tips and I will be using them this summer to do my kitchen oak cabinets. I know I need to aqua coat first a couple of times, then I will be che king your 36 minute video again and taking notes! I saved your video and now I am subscribed ! Thank you again from 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
As a Construction Inspector and project Manager for many decades I watched and enjoyed every minute of this video. Real "craftsmen" are a rare find these days. Attention to detail, good prep work, keeping the worksite safe and clean, and quality products are all the necessary components to a good job that lasts for years. Nice work! Even if your son never paints another cabinet he has learned invaluable lessons the will apply to any career he chooses. Good job for teaching him these valuable life lessons!
What I appreciate most about all 30 minutes of this video is that you’re showing the REALITY of what these projects look like. As a professional scenic artist, when I work “up close & personal” at home jobs, the details you’re commenting on are the “insider tips” that I think most introductory (and even professional) videos ignore. Tips about caulking, cleanup, detail sanding, masking, etc. are the types of craftsmanship things that you ONLY learn after a project is finished. Even in the middle of projects I find myself saying “there HAS to be a way to avoid this in the future,” but unfortunately many times this is after the point-of-no-return, “next time we’ll know better” situation. I loved the emphasis on the fact that the REAL work is the prep, attention to detail, and cleanup that all the “amateurs” don’t consider with our type of work. Cheers for a great informative video.
Making a 2nd comment here - I have watched so many of your videos at this point over the last 6 months getting ready to tackle our cabinets. We finally did this week and I just have to say, thank you. Your advice has been priceless and we followed it to a 'T'. Paint selection, primer, home sprayer type, paint to water ratios, effort put into properly taping/prep, how fast to spray, all of it. I was terrified we were going to ruin our cabinets and I couldn't be more pleased with how they turned out. Thank you for putting this channel out and taking the time to film it, it made a big difference for us.
Yes I’ve watched the entire 36 minutes. Very informative. Studying now for when I do my daughter’s cabinets in about a month. I have never used a sprayer but I plan to practice first. Thanks for sharing
OUTSTANDING! Watched all 36 minutes! Our kitchen is almost EXACT as this kitchen! I was quite nervous to paint white over dark wood. You did an INCREDIBLE job showing and detailing EACH STEP, and why. I loved that you shared all of your tools and paints used! Including the drying rack! I now know what to buy!! You and your son must be incredibly proud of your work and the finished product! I am certain the home owners must be thrilled! Thank you so much! I now have the confidence after watching your video from beginning to end to move forward!
Watched all 34 minutes. There are very few videos that show how much effort goes into this level of full size kitchen update. I love how you clearly defined how important and time consuming the prep work is, and the quality of work shows through at the end. Now when homeowners say, it's just paint, there's a way to convert that into money... (5 days x two people x hourly rate) + materials and all of a sudden it makes sense. And thanks to your helpers. Very well done.
Yes. I echo that sentiment. There's a ton of time and effort required in achieving results everyone can be happy with. This is a great illustration of that. I think I'll use this video as a sales tool for upcoming jobs. It really will help clients justify the price in their own minds without me having to do any convincing.
As a contractor for years, I am pleased that good contractors like yourself are still out there doing their best. Thank you for sharing all that most never see what it takes to do it right!
I watched the entire video. I’m a 75 yr old woman and want to do a few smaller projects, no sprayers for me. But the painting hints really help. You sure put lots of work into your work, I can tell you’re very proud of what you do.
You should try an electric spray from home depot or something similar. I used one to paint a wood fence as well as the eaves and fascia of the house. Really holds up well and is convenient, especially since brushing or rolling can be tedious. I typically use water based and dilute a bit until a even flow and texture is being applied.
Hi from Australia. Beautiful job! I can see now why it's not cheap to have my kitchen painted. You've inspired me to wrap out my pergola and give a spray gun a go! Thank you. Great video ! ❤
Excellent video tutorial! Watched the whole thing, was edited well, no extra that didn't need to be in it. Best video I've found. Excellent work! Came out beautifully! We own a plastering & stucco company so I appreciate the quality of your work! Good stuff!
This was one the best “How to…” videos I’ve seen for kitchen painting. Although still challenging for a very novice painter like myself. I feel you explained in great detail especially the preparation steps.
Awesome job! I am 100% with you on preparation, like the old saying, "fail to prepare, prepare to fail". My eldest daughter gets married soon, they have just got their house and we decided the kitchen units needed painting, watching this video opened my eyes and gave me the knowledge I needed. Ps, I am a retired teacher/trainer and loved your presentation👏👊
My husband and I watched the entire video! Absolutely superior job. We really want to have our kitchen cabinets painted. If there was someone in our area who could do the job as perfectly as you, we would hire them immediately.
My kitchen cabinets look similar, but in worse shape. I have seen inferior work so I love seeing that it might be possible to do a good job with great prep work.
I watched the entire video! It is 36 mins but you keep things moving along and your voiceover is great and easy to understand, THANK YOU for letting us know how your mind works when you are doing such great work 👍🏼
Great job! I’m a 65 yo retired painter and I’ve done many kitchen repaints - Love Advance for durability and how it lays down. I too had a small drying rack of 2x4s and dowels and I added casters to mine so you could move it. Your son is a great helper - in later years my son helped me as well and I know what you mean about showing up to a job and getting into a rhythm from experience. Keep up the great work!
Great quality work! Very impressed. 32 year contractor myself. Wonderfull to know the quality craftsmanship is being carried on. What a wonderful message for your son.
Watched it! You are SUCH a good teacher. I read everything at your website and watched your previous videos (multiple times!). Finally went for it and painted my kitchen cabinets 6 months ago. I then ventured on to my master bath, and am just putting my 'public bath' back together as we speak! It all came out absolutely gorgeous - such an amazing transformation. I especially love the grain filler trick on my ancient oak cabinets. What a difference THAT made. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
I have to say this has been one of the best kitchen spraying videos I've seen. Great info. Great pace. Answers a lot of questions. And of course the work was top notch. I also liked the humility shown about missed tasks or missed spots. Very true to life.
I'm an independent contractor with over 40 years experience in the trades. As I'm teaching/training the younger people I've worked with over the years , a couple of my many mantra's are: "slow, is fast" and "five minutes of laziness will cost us hours on the job and our lives". You did an excellent job explaining what and why you take the steps and precautions throughout your project. I love the attention to detail. I'm very impressed. Thank you for your honest real-world post. Be blessed.
I’m remodeling our new home, and we are painting the cabinets ourselves. I’ve seen some bad outcomes for DIY painting on tiktok, but I feel so prepared now! This was the most thorough video I have found, and I watched every minute!
Hi,yes I watched the entire process, enjoyed your commentary, I'm a retired carpenter and I have fitted many kitchens, but I must say you've done a great job on this makeover, watching from the other side of the world, Cape Town ,South Africa, stay safe.
I’m about to do this to my kitchen all by myself. You are my inspiration! I wish it’d be as easy as you made it look, but I appreciate the whole 34 minutes of tips!
Frog tape will take paint off the wall. I built the rack and it was wonderful. I would suggest slightly thicker dowels as the 1/2" dowel does sag under the weight of the doors. Plus the 4" distance between dowels is tight. You have to really be careful when sliding the doors in.
Thank you for this video. After watching it perhaps one more time, I'll be ready to tackle my kitchen cabinets. My bravery is based on the fact that, if I mess up, they're mine and I am more than willing to do whatever it takes to come out with a near, if not flawless finish. Thanks again for the inspiration.
Such a fantastic video! From how much to cut the paint to the product recommendations to the wisdom behind ear protection. Thirty-six minutes well spent. Thank you.
Watched the whole dang thing. I'm sure I will be rewatching alot as I really want to do my kitchen cabinets. Thank you so much. You are a great teacher who explains how and why very well. I'm getting excited!!!
I had no idea just how involved something like this is. The prep work is insane but I can see where the attention to detail here leads to a great final product! Congrats on a job well done!
Wow, beautiful work! I love when folks take the extra time to do the boring work like preping very good and all the cleaning bc someone that has true experience and is a professional will take the time for that amazing end result. Amazing. I am just wondering how much did this all cost? That was a lot of work. You did amazing. BRAVO!!!
Awesome awesome video! I'm a weekend worrier interior roller painter who's slowly developed a love for the art. My plans are to eventually shadow someone with cabinetry/HPLV experience. Watching your video was like the next best thing (2 thumbs up). I really loved how you shared details on time, things to look out for, tools used, etc. Actually your 30 minute video didn't feel long at all. Your work is amazing! Again great job to you, your son and your son's friend.
Just watched this entire video. I'm about to do my kitchen cabinets and this helped me so much! I hope my kitchen cabinets turn out as nicely as these did.
I’m watching this in the middle of the night, because I was going to paint cabinets while my wife was out of town for a weekend… I will no longer be doing that, there’s no way I’ll get it done in time, but this looks great!
This was such an amazing video. I loved every minute of it because you & your son were so thorough in all the steps you took to paint the cabinets. They turned out so beautifully & your customer’s kitchen looks so awesome. Time for them to have a nice dinner & show off their new kitchen. Great job guys!
I was once advised that painting white on white is very difficult. To ensure complete coverage it helps if you add a touch of yellow paint to the first coat allows you to see exactly where you are up to.
I like how meticulous you are! I do everything like I'm doing for myself. If you cant sign your name on your finished product then you should probably find a different line of work. Very nice finish, really a good job. I would hire you to do my work for sure! You do the extra things that really makes a difference and the final product speaks for itself. Keep up the good work. As you don't need to be told this, most people doing anything anymore don't really give a damn as long as they get their money in the end. Hope this pumps you up a little! I'm usually not the guy who says anything about how anybody does their line of work because honestly, they don't deserve a compliment, you obviously know what I'm talking about. Those of you who don't know, well, you don't know! Thanks for sharing your skills, much appreciated.
So glad I found this channel. I resurface counters and tubs full time but have started dabbling in the cabinet world recently and haven’t had anyone teaching me the right way to do it so this is super helpful lol
I would Love to know how You painted Your Bathtub What Paint and preparations have to be done Plastic, Metal & Fiberglass so this last & also a Sink. Any Tips on this would be Greatly Appreciated.
I'm a cabinet painter and I watched the whole video! You're a wonderful teacher and give great tips! It was nice to hear that other painters make mistakes and have trials and errors on their stuff too!
Was trying to decide if I want to refinish or buy brand new and your craftsmanship in this video has me thinking refinish. Just need a painter with your kind of skills. Truly amazing job. When you care about what you do it shows and I wish you were in New Hampshire!! Haha
It’s great you’re bringing your son on and teaching him how to work and do things himself. My dad and uncle always had me help them at work and those skills I learned brought me very far in life
I’m getting ready to paint my kitchen cabinets and I definitely will use some of the tips you recommended! I did watch the 34 min video, it was well worth it and thank you for taking the time to go through it all in such great detail. It really only felt like 10min! I also liked the rack you put the doors on.
Great video. Didn’t seem too long because of the detail you go into. About to embark on painting our kitchen cupboards & this video has been incredibly helpful for me. Will be my first time doing cupboards and now I feel prepared. Thank you for all the tips, especially caulking, and product info.
Nice work! You make it look easy, despite the challenges. I did custom cabinet finishing in a cabinet shop for 6 yrs, and have only thought about taking my skill outside to do the kind of work you did in this video. Yes, I watched the entire length. Thank you!
Yep I watched the whole thing! Very nice job! I’m a perfectionist and obviously you are too. I find it amazing what you can learn watching these videos, like a thin line of paintable caulking where surfaces meet and painted they look so seamless.
We are so glad we watched the entire video! We loved the amount of tips you gave, from the drying rack, to the caulking. We bought some used cabinets and are planning to paint them all for use in our remodel and I am certain so many tips from you will make the difference!
Our paint started peeling off after a few years on brand new cabinets. And we paid a hefty price for them. It’s been 6 years and we absolutely have to paint our cabinets now. This was the best video instruction I’ve seen. Now o need to convince my husband we can do it.
I watched the whole thing and BOY you are the guy everyone needs to do their cabinets!👍🙏🏼👍🏽💕 Your attention to details, the care you took in every step, I just loved watching this video. Thank you so much for taking the time to film and edit this video. It was all perfect🙏🏼💕
I watched the whole thing. (Granted, I’m in a hotel room on business with nothing better to do). Pretty inspiring. I think it’s a safe bet that we will end up doing this to our kitchen sometime in the next 2 years so you’re in my ‘saved to watch later’ list. Thanks again!
The cabinets look amazing. Perhaps you could do a mock-up of the different finishes on a door so we can see the difference between them. I enjoyed watching your process.😊😊😊
Incredible job on this video and outstanding work, young man! 48 year semi-retired cabinetmaker here, and I am impressed with your technique and work ethic. I am doing smaller jobs now and will be doing a vanity in-place repaint and will be using the paint you used on this. Thank you for a very well-done video!
Great video. I'm a plasterer by trade. I had a client wanted the cabinets in her recently purchased co-op painted white. After coming across your video that had the very same cabinets I had to watch the entire video. The boys and i watched the whole thing. It was very helpful. Nothing like bonding with your kids on a job.
I watched the entire video! I have old oak cabinets (1986) that I want to paint. I am saving up for a new kitchen and do not want to look at these for another year... so figured a nice DIY paint job would keep me happy until then. I am a very patient and pay attention to details so I think I could do this. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent with us!
I was looking for getting my cabinets done and was skeptical about getting my hands dirty and doing it myself, now I know why a professional is required. Great finish and nice job done!
Long time DIY’er who hates painting. Just bought a new home and my wife wants to change the kitchen cabinet color, so i turned to TH-cam for inspiration. I appreciated the work you did in this video. Wish me luck!
36 minutes here. 2 years later. Loved it. I tell people all the time. Good painters get paid to prep and clean up. The painting is fun and free of charge😉
I watched the entire video. This was so great and detailed I want to do my kitchen but think I’m gonna start with something smaller like my bathroom. You do amazing work
Gorgeous! Yes, I watched to the end! 33:57 minutes! I never realized how involved a professional cabinet job would be. I can tell you take pride in your work. All the best to you and your son! ❤️ Watching in Mississippi
Amazing video. More amazing was seeing you speak whilst you were painting and prepping. Very clear and a very clean job. Watching all 36 mins was well worth seeing experienced workmanship.
I started using the Graco quick shot with a fine finish tip for painting cabinets and I’ve had some really good results. The reason I got it is because the sprayer handle is small enough to fit inside the cabinets and the sprayer is small enough I can be very mobile with it. I enjoyed your narration during the video, it was very enjoyable.
Yes, all 33+ minutes of this video and well worth it. I'm going after my first client full kitchen paint over and you have answered most all of my fails and faults that may occur. Here we go....
I google searched for tips to paint my bathroom cabinets and came across your video. By far the most informative in a step by step explanation in how to tackle my bathroom.
Wow, I watched all 36 minutes of this. So impressive! I e been watching DIY cabinet painting videos thinking I’ll do mine. E cause they made it look so easy. Then I saw this….. it looks amazing! No way am I doing this myself.
I was all in once you started taping up the areas. Watched the whole video. I’m a mom of 4 just got a house and I’m diy my kitchen cabinets. Thanks for this
You wondered if anyone watched the video until the end. Well, over the last few days I’ve watched the entire video 3 times. I’m going to paint the cabinets in my two bathrooms and then my kitchen cabinets. I’m starting with my bathroom cabinets first to “learn”. After watching your video on the Wagner Flexio 5000, I purchased one and will use it for my cabinets. I’m also going to use Zinsser smart prime and BM Advance satin. Your videos are great and I’m subcribed. Keep up the good work, I appreciate it! Thanks Glen
I'm a homeowner who has done a fair amount of projects over the years. I learned so much from your video - and, yes, I watched it in it's entirety,lol. Thanks so much for detailing the process and products! Helped tremendously!!
I stayed for the whole time. Beautiful job. It’s nice to see the dedication required for a PERFECT JOB. The Prep work looked like a horrible job to have to do. You all did a wonderful job. You and your son worked well together.
Didn’t feel like 36 minutes. And I agree with another commentor… Your voice and tone are therapeutic, but your explanations are awesome. Thank you for taking the time and showing me that it is worth taking all that time to tape everything off.
I watched the whole video and I loved it. I'm 73 and my cabinets are 30 yrs old. I want to do it but I'm wondering if I can handle the physical part. Looks like a lot
I am not a painter and have no desire to be one, but that was amazing to watch. Definitely shows his proficiency and the instinctive things he does during prep. That kitchen literally transformed by changing the cabinet color. Great job.
Watched the whole thing. Woman 65 owned constr. Co till accident 12 broken bones. Selling my house and want to uplift my kitchen. Installing an island and painting Ikea bead board cabinet bottoms. 110 year old top cabinets from my great grandma's kitchen. Learned so much from you. And ty. Wished you were close to pa. Good job

Me personally I would have waited till the stone top was removed. That would avoid any damage to the beautiful job you did.
Opened my mind into refurbing rather than replacing great work fella

thats why it would probably be cheaper and faster to have a new kitchen put in
@@ritmolatino1627 Cabinet prices have skyrocketed. A PAINTED three drawer base cabinet "ready to assemble" is $700+ at Lowes.
Yes. I echo that sentiment. There's a ton of time and effort required in achieving results everyone can be happy with. This is a great illustration of that. I think I'll use this video as a sales tool for upcoming jobs. It really will help clients justify the price in their own minds without me having to do any convincing.
If $1000/day/person x5 days that’s $10K. Can’t get new cabinets and installation anywhere near that for that size kitchen, IMO.

I especially love the grain filler trick on my ancient oak cabinets. What a difference THAT made. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Did you use sheetrock mud for the oak filling?
@@angryw4nderer Yes I did. Could have gone heavier on it because I can still see some grain, but a big improvement as is.
I have to say this has been one of the best kitchen spraying videos I've seen. Great info. Great pace. Answers a lot of questions. And of course the work was top notch. I also liked the humility shown about missed tasks or missed spots. Very true to life.
Very well done With a lot of very good advice. Worthwhile watching ALL
I'm an independent contractor with over 40 years experience in the trades. As I'm teaching/training the younger people I've worked with over the years , a couple of my many mantra's are: "slow, is fast" and "five minutes of laziness will cost us hours on the job and our lives". You did an excellent job explaining what and why you take the steps and precautions throughout your project. I love the attention to detail. I'm very impressed. Thank you for your honest real-world post. Be blessed.
and I too watched the whole video.
I've been doing kitchen cabinets with advance for many many years. This is my process, almost, to a T! Great work from both of you
I’m remodeling our new home, and we are painting the cabinets ourselves. I’ve seen some bad outcomes for DIY painting on tiktok, but I feel so prepared now! This was the most thorough video I have found, and I watched every minute!
It was only 33:56, but I watched every second. The cabinets did look great! Thank you for sharing the video.
I thought this video was 10min long. I realized I had seen the full 36 once you said it at the end. Beautiful work man. Thank you!
Hi,yes I watched the entire process, enjoyed your commentary, I'm a retired carpenter and I have fitted many kitchens, but I must say you've done a great job on this makeover, watching from the other side of the world, Cape Town ,South Africa, stay safe.
I’m about to do this to my kitchen all by myself. You are my inspiration! I wish it’d be as easy as you made it look, but I appreciate the whole 34 minutes of tips!
How did it go?
Me to what color are you going with I have dark marble top and dark hand etched floors
Frog tape will take paint off the wall.
I built the rack and it was wonderful. I would suggest slightly thicker dowels
as the 1/2" dowel does sag under the weight of the doors. Plus the 4" distance between dowels is tight. You have to really be careful when sliding the doors in.
GREAT VIDEQ I AM THINKING ABOUT HIRING SOMEONE AND THIS LET ME KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND QUESTIONS TO ASK. THANK YOU
Thank you for this video. After watching it perhaps one more time, I'll be ready to tackle my kitchen cabinets. My bravery is based on the fact that, if I mess up, they're mine and I am more than willing to do whatever it takes to come out with a near, if not flawless finish. Thanks again for the inspiration.
Such a fantastic video! From how much to cut the paint to the product recommendations to the wisdom behind ear protection. Thirty-six minutes well spent. Thank you.
Watched the whole dang thing. I'm sure I will be rewatching alot as I really want to do my kitchen cabinets. Thank you so much. You are a great teacher who explains how and why very well. I'm getting excited!!!
I had no idea just how involved something like this is. The prep work is insane but I can see where the attention to detail here leads to a great final product! Congrats on a job well done!
Great work! My wife wants this done to our kitchen cabinets so every "in-depth" video I can watch helps.
Wow, beautiful work! I love when folks take the extra time to do the boring work like preping very good and all the cleaning bc someone that has true experience and is a professional will take the time for that amazing end result. Amazing. I am just wondering how much did this all cost? That was a lot of work. You did amazing. BRAVO!!!
Awesome awesome video! I'm a weekend worrier interior roller painter who's slowly developed a love for the art. My plans are to eventually shadow someone with cabinetry/HPLV experience. Watching your video was like the next best thing (2 thumbs up). I really loved how you shared details on time, things to look out for, tools used, etc. Actually your 30 minute video didn't feel long at all. Your work is amazing! Again great job to you, your son and your son's friend.
Just watched this entire video. I'm about to do my kitchen cabinets and this helped me so much! I hope my kitchen cabinets turn out as nicely as these did.
I’m watching this in the middle of the night, because I was going to paint cabinets while my wife was out of town for a weekend…
I will no longer be doing that, there’s no way I’ll get it done in time, but this looks great!
I watched all 36 minutes of this, and I thank you for sharing.
This was such an amazing video. I loved every minute of it because you & your son were so thorough in all the steps you took to paint the cabinets. They turned out so beautifully & your customer’s kitchen looks so awesome. Time for them to have a nice dinner & show off their new kitchen. Great job guys!
I was once advised that painting white on white is very difficult. To ensure complete coverage it helps if you add a touch of yellow paint to the first coat allows you to see exactly where you are up to.
I like how meticulous you are! I do everything like I'm doing for myself. If you cant sign your name on your finished product then you should probably find a different line of work. Very nice finish, really a good job. I would hire you to do my work for sure! You do the extra things that really makes a difference and the final product speaks for itself. Keep up the good work. As you don't need to be told this, most people doing anything anymore don't really give a damn as long as they get their money in the end. Hope this pumps you up a little! I'm usually not the guy who says anything about how anybody does their line of work because honestly, they don't deserve a compliment, you obviously know what I'm talking about. Those of you who don't know, well, you don't know! Thanks for sharing your skills, much appreciated.
So glad I found this channel. I resurface counters and tubs full time but have started dabbling in the cabinet world recently and haven’t had anyone teaching me the right way to do it so this is super helpful lol
@joseph Chubb can you offer some tips on resurfacing tubs and kitchen sinks? I’m tackling that soon
I would Love to know how You painted Your Bathtub
What Paint and preparations have to be done
Plastic, Metal & Fiberglass so this last & also a Sink.
Any Tips on this would be Greatly Appreciated.
I honestly can't believe I watched the entire video! Your method of instruction, process etc was flawless! Great information and final product!
I'm a cabinet painter and I watched the whole video! You're a wonderful teacher and give great tips! It was nice to hear that other painters make mistakes and have trials and errors on their stuff too!
Was trying to decide if I want to refinish or buy brand new and your craftsmanship in this video has me thinking refinish. Just need a painter with your kind of skills. Truly amazing job. When you care about what you do it shows and I wish you were in New Hampshire!! Haha
It’s great you’re bringing your son on and teaching him how to work and do things himself. My dad and uncle always had me help them at work and those skills I learned brought me very far in life
I’m getting ready to paint my kitchen cabinets and I definitely will use some of the tips you recommended! I did watch the 34 min video, it was well worth it and thank you for taking the time to go through it all in such great detail. It really only felt like 10min! I also liked the rack you put the doors on.
Great video. Didn’t seem too long because of the detail you go into. About to embark on painting our kitchen cupboards & this video has been incredibly helpful for me. Will be my first time doing cupboards and now I feel prepared. Thank you for all the tips, especially caulking, and product info.
Wonderfully thorough without a lot of extra nonsense. Lots of solid advice. Loved all 36 minutes.
Nice work! You make it look easy, despite the challenges. I did custom cabinet finishing in a cabinet shop for 6 yrs, and have only thought about taking my skill outside to do the kind of work you did in this video. Yes, I watched the entire length. Thank you!
Yep I watched the whole thing! Very nice job! I’m a perfectionist and obviously you are too. I find it amazing what you can learn watching these videos, like a thin line of paintable caulking where surfaces meet and painted they look so seamless.
We are so glad we watched the entire video! We loved the amount of tips you gave, from the drying rack, to the caulking. We bought some used cabinets and are planning to paint them all for use in our remodel and I am certain so many tips from you will make the difference!
Our paint started peeling off after a few years on brand new cabinets. And we paid a hefty price for them. It’s been 6 years and we absolutely have to paint our cabinets now. This was the best video instruction I’ve seen. Now o need to convince my husband we can do it.
I watched the whole thing and BOY you are the guy everyone needs to do their cabinets!👍🙏🏼👍🏽💕
Your attention to details, the care you took in every step, I just loved watching this video.
Thank you so much for taking the time to film and edit this video. It was all perfect🙏🏼💕
I watched the whole thing. (Granted, I’m in a hotel room on business with nothing better to do).
Pretty inspiring. I think it’s a safe bet that we will end up doing this to our kitchen sometime in the next 2 years so you’re in my ‘saved to watch later’ list.
Thanks again!
The cabinets look amazing. Perhaps you could do a mock-up of the different finishes on a door so we can see the difference between them. I enjoyed watching your process.😊😊😊
Incredible job on this video and outstanding work, young man! 48 year semi-retired cabinetmaker here, and I am impressed with your technique and work ethic.
I am doing smaller jobs now and will be doing a vanity in-place repaint and will be using the paint you used on this.
Thank you for a very well-done video!
You do great work. The cabinets look amazing!
This was really neat to watch! So much detail and work in painting the cabinets. It’s like art, really though. Fantastic job !👏🏼
Great video. I'm a plasterer by trade. I had a client wanted the cabinets in her recently purchased co-op painted white. After coming across your video that had the very same cabinets I had to watch the entire video. The boys and i watched the whole thing. It was very helpful. Nothing like bonding with your kids on a job.
Not me watching at 2 am learning how to paint cabinets for my wife
The things you will do for love - xoxo
36 minutes of my life gone watching and it was well spent.Superb job from Scotland UK.
I watched the entire video! I have old oak cabinets (1986) that I want to paint. I am saving up for a new kitchen and do not want to look at these for another year... so figured a nice DIY paint job would keep me happy until then. I am a very patient and pay attention to details so I think I could do this. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent with us!
I was looking for getting my cabinets done and was skeptical about getting my hands dirty and doing it myself, now I know why a professional is required. Great finish and nice job done!
Long time DIY’er who hates painting. Just bought a new home and my wife wants to change the kitchen cabinet color, so i turned to TH-cam for inspiration. I appreciated the work you did in this video. Wish me luck!
36 minutes here. 2 years later. Loved it. I tell people all the time. Good painters get paid to prep and clean up. The painting is fun and free of charge😉
Love this! I'm going to steal it when doing my next bid!
This was great! Thank you for making this video. It’s a good reminder of how much WORK it takes to refinish cabinets the right way!
I watched the entire process!!! Nice job!!😊
I watched the entire video. This was so great and detailed I want to do my kitchen but think I’m gonna start with something smaller like my bathroom. You do amazing work
Gorgeous! Yes, I watched to the end! 33:57 minutes! I never realized how involved a professional cabinet job would be. I can tell you take pride in your work. All the best to you and your son! ❤️ Watching in Mississippi
Great info for a beginner who is going to paint her cabinets. I’m going to give it a try!
All 36. Appreciate your attention to detail and prep work. Have never tackled something that big but I am more confident now.
Amazing video. More amazing was seeing you speak whilst you were painting and prepping. Very clear and a very clean job. Watching all 36 mins was well worth seeing experienced workmanship.
Thank you for the video. As a homeowner it gives a true sense of the huge amount of prep work and detail it takes to do a job WELL.
Great job!
I started using the Graco quick shot with a fine finish tip for painting cabinets and I’ve had some really good results. The reason I got it is because the sprayer handle is small enough to fit inside the cabinets and the sprayer is small enough I can be very mobile with it. I enjoyed your narration during the video, it was very enjoyable.
Yes, all 33+ minutes of this video and well worth it. I'm going after my first client full kitchen paint over and you have answered most all of my fails and faults that may occur. Here we go....
I google searched for tips to paint my bathroom cabinets and came across your video. By far the most informative in a step by step explanation in how to tackle my bathroom.
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful.
Wow, I watched all 36 minutes of this. So impressive! I e been watching DIY cabinet painting videos thinking I’ll do mine. E cause they made it look so easy. Then I saw this….. it looks amazing! No way am I doing this myself.
I was all in once you started taping up the areas. Watched the whole video. I’m a mom of 4 just got a house and I’m diy my kitchen cabinets. Thanks for this
You wondered if anyone watched the video until the end. Well, over the last few days I’ve watched the entire video 3 times. I’m going to paint the cabinets in my two bathrooms and then my kitchen cabinets. I’m starting with my bathroom cabinets first to “learn”. After watching your video on the Wagner Flexio 5000, I purchased one and will use it for my cabinets. I’m also going to use Zinsser smart prime and BM Advance satin. Your videos are great and I’m subcribed. Keep up the good work, I appreciate it!
Thanks
Glen
I'm a homeowner who has done a fair amount of projects over the years. I learned so much from your video - and, yes, I watched it in it's entirety,lol. Thanks so much for detailing the process and products! Helped tremendously!!
I watched the whole thing!! I'm painting my kitchen, and I appreciate all of the advice you have offered!! I feel very confident in my DIY project! 😅
Saving your channel! We would like to do our cabinets in a few years and we’re also from MN!
Absolutely watched all 36 minutes. Great job and informative for one who usually just replaces cabinets this was exactly what I needed. Thanks.
I stayed for the whole time. Beautiful job. It’s nice to see the dedication required for a PERFECT JOB. The Prep work looked like a horrible job to have to do. You all did a wonderful job. You and your son worked well together.
Didn’t feel like 36 minutes. And I agree with another commentor… Your voice and tone are therapeutic, but your explanations are awesome. Thank you for taking the time and showing me that it is worth taking all that time to tape everything off.
I watched the whole video and now I go for a second round to make notes. Thank for all the tips!
All 36 minutes here. Absolutely outstanding job. I am ready to renew my 1964 kitchen cabinets
I enjoy watching a true craftsman at work, making a ridiculously difficult and frustrating job look easy and sound fun … great work!
I watched the whole video and I loved it. I'm 73 and my cabinets are 30 yrs old. I want to do it but I'm wondering if I can handle the physical part. Looks like a lot
Omg! Watched every min....paused & wrote down choices of paint types & why! Truly appreciated & didn't realize just how much work is involved!
Single mom Watched the entire video. Praying I can pull this off! Thanks for sharing. This was very helpful
I am not a painter and have no desire to be one, but that was amazing to watch. Definitely shows his proficiency and the instinctive things he does during prep. That kitchen literally transformed by changing the cabinet color. Great job.
I watched the whole thing while on a flight. Wow what detail well done.
Just finished all 36 minutes. Absolutely love and appreciate the professionalism and detailed video and narration. Awesome job!
Love it!! All 36 minutes of it! Great work!
Watched the whole thing. Woman 65 owned constr. Co till accident 12 broken bones. Selling my house and want to uplift my kitchen.
