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!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
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
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 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I am a 60 yr old woman who is renovating my house. I not only watched it i rewind at the good parts and take notes😊
I watched all 34 minutes of this video and have become way smarter as a result. I almost feel like I owe YOU some money. GREAT JOB MAN! 😌
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!
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!
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.
Where did you get the sprayer my friend
Nice work!
@@daggerdick073Actually found it on FB marketplace for $100. Used the Flexio 5000 and it worked like a dream
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
Made my day seeing this comment!
I watched all 36 minutes of this, and I thank you for sharing.
I could watch you paint all day long. Quite therapeutic. 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.
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.
@@AscDrewAgree
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 👍🏼
I watched 36 minutes of your beautiful white cabinet paint job. Working up the nerve to do mine. Thanks for the tips.
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.
I also watched the whole video and I’m going to watch it again with my husband. Thank you so much. I’m sure I will not find a better one.
Just bought the Flexio 5000. I don’t even have a big project but Amazon had a payment plan that I couldn’t pass up
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.
Beautiful video! Great to see your son there :) You are a master house-painting artist 👨🏼🎨. Thank you for the diligence you represent. My favorite uncle (Jake) was a WW2 army veteran who became a house painter. I’m glad to see you protecting your lungs & brain! God bless you!
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.
What area are you. I do same steps and quality. He is very good.
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.
This is, by far, the best kitchen cabinet tutorial I've seen on TH-cam. I've taken notes and will be painting my kitchen cabinets asap.
I enjoy watching a true craftsman at work, making a ridiculously difficult and frustrating job look easy and sound fun … great work!
I watched all 36 minutes as well. Thank you for taking the time to post these videos. I was seriously thinking about buying new cabinets but now I see I have options and probably for a whole lot cheaper so thank you 👍
Wow, this was so thorough. The pride you take in your work is unsurpassed. Great job.
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.
Worth the 33 minutes of my life. Achieving a smooth finish is always my biggest concern when painting cabinets but feeling a lot more confident now. Great job!
just watched the whole thing, love to see pros do something before i have to do something because its alot faster and more forgiving. THANKS
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.
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.
Omg! Watched every min....paused & wrote down choices of paint types & why! Truly appreciated & didn't realize just how much work is involved!
So I didn't actually watch all 36 minutes. I skimmed through most of it. I really appreciate meticulous work and i would definitely hire you for a job like this. Very well done!
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 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.
All 36 minutes here. Absolutely outstanding job. I am ready to renew my 1964 kitchen cabinets
Fantastic, meticulous work. I am really impressed by the finish. Dude, you are a machine. I'm also glad to see you putting the young fellas to work.
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.
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.
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.
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 watched all of it during my lunch break! Your spray painting skills were very satisfying! 😅
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.
Beautiful cabinets look new. I’m blown away with your professionalism. Thanks for sharing your process and the materials you use.
I watched the whole 33.56 minutes of your video. You and your son did a fabulous job! I am in the stage of planning to pain my own kitchen cabinets. I love how your cabinets turned out. They look so professional and glass like. I will invest in a good paint sprayer, and prep materials. Thank you for this video!
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
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 prep and it shows in the finish, thank you!
Thanks for guidance, can’t wait to start on my kitchen.
It was only 33:56, but I watched every second. The cabinets did look great! Thank you for sharing the video.
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
Great to see the process start to finish. Thank you!
Totally watched it all and saved it to my Facebook accnt in order to use it later! So happy I found this!
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!
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.
Incredible service. Thanks for the tips!
Great job. I'm a retired painter, and it's good to see some painters still take pride in their work!!
This was really neat to watch! So much detail and work in painting the cabinets. It’s like art, really though. Fantastic job !👏🏼
I honestly can't believe I watched the entire video! Your method of instruction, process etc was flawless! Great information and final product!
36 minutes here! One year later. Great video. Thank you.
Watched the whole video literally at 1am. Appreciate the detail you put into this.
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.
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!!!
Thanks for the videos sharing your experiences! Much appreciated 🎉
36 minutes. Easy viewing. Great instruction and narrative. Thanks!
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.
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!
I watched it all. We’re in the process of painting ours and I’m pleased to say, our guys did a beautiful job as well.
Great job. Love to see father and son working together and getting his buddy involved is great too. Paint videos are my Zen garden so I made it through the whole thing. It looks awesome and inspired me to get moving on my painting projects. Thanks for sharing!
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!
This was brilliant to watch. What an amazing transformation 😮 you’re fantastic. Such care and attention to detail. It’s so lovely to see someone take so much pride in their work! Well done 👍🏽👏🏽🤩🤩🤩
Love it. Watch it all. Awesome work.
I’ve watched this full video about 8 times now. Getting ready to do my kitchen
I just watched this entire video. I’m not a painter nor am I looking to get my cabinets painted right now but this was fascinating to see the entire process of a job like this. The commentary was fantastic and the results looked great!
You do great work. The cabinets look amazing!
Appreciate your time
Thanks for the minute by minute
I really enjoyed your instructional video. I learned a great deal and your son is so lucky to have a dad that is teaching him a life long lessons about hard work and taking pride in a job well done. You are blessed to have a son who likes to work with his dad.
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.😊😊😊
Beautiful transformation. Thank you for explaining your process. I will definitely implement your processes when I repaint our kitchen cabinets.
36 minutes--I did it!! I learned: it's a heckuva lot of work to paint cabinets; there's more prep time than painting time; there's more cleanup/touch up time than painting time; a lot of costly supplies are needed and then thrown away; high quality equipment is required to get a high quality end result; and, I should not do this myself! Thanks for doing this video!
Definitely worth watching. Appreciate it.
That looks amazing! I’m a sucker for before and after projects. Nicely done!
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 work! Glad to see your son with you working and learning a trade to fall back on when needed. I learned from my dad and can’t wait for my son to be by my side.
Worth watching! Lots of detail!! Thank you😊
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🙏🏼💕
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.
Yes, I saw the whole thing. Great job paid attention to a lot of detail. I like that you didn’t rush. Great job.
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
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!
Great job on the painting and the video. I've done a few kitchens with both airless and hvlp and always seem to underestimate how long it will take. It was good to see this and compare. Thanks for sharing so generously!
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.
Wow a lot of prep work. I m so glad I watched this!
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.
Great great video! Thank you so much! We are homeowners wanting to spray our cabinets ourselves and this is SO HELPFUL. We appreciate your great explanations and the DAY 1, DAY 2, and DAY 3. Gives us a realistic timeline. Also, thank you for your humility about the black countertops! We all wish we did something different in hindsight. GREAT VIDEO.
They turned out great
Great job explaining all the prep work!
I watched all 36 minutes. Absouletly beautiful. I have med oak cabinets that i plan to paint white soon so your tips are priceless. 🎉
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to record this job and share it with us.
I did watch the entire video and gained a lot from it, particularly the 20% dilution of the paint for better atomisation (Australian spelling). Wonderful finish to the cabinets.
Great job prep is everything
Watching one year later and was impressed by all the care you took. Loved watching you and your son. I will watch more of your videos ! 🎉
Love this! Personally I use the stix primer like you mentioned and the pearl finish on the advance line. Love the sheen it leaves and homeowners love how easy it cleans also. I'll definitely need to try out the satin sheen! Also a little trick I found was using a cooking rack that i bought from a restaurant which was closing that I use on all my projects to hold the cabinets and it works great.
The Advance satin is a beautiful finish but I moved to Coronado. It's still a beautiful finish at a much lower cost with a 4 hour recoat time vs. the Advance 16 hour dry time. It doesn't have as hard of a finish as Advance but it's still great. Just used it in my living room and I love it.
I did watch the entire video and am especially impressed with your prep and care for the surrounding ceilings and walls. My dad was a painter by trade and I worked with him for many years so I know the skill and experience needed to do quality work. If you lived in Eastern Ontario I would hire you in a heartbeat.
How much would you charge for a job like this??
@@tommyneal1491 I'd charge $5500 here in Texas for this job. I use Advance with coverstain primer
I’m ready to get my cabinets done after seeing your video thank you
