Cabinet painting in Calgary is a project that some homeowners can attempt DIY. While it is doable, there are some things to consider before you embark on this challenging project. Experience, time, knowledge, patience, and the cost of specialized equipment to achieve a professional finish are a few.
Can Do More Painting is a residential and commercial painting company specializing in cabinet refinishing and cost-effective kitchen renovations. They share why hiring the best painters in Calgary is usually the right choice for your kitchen upgrade.
Skill comes with practice
Experience matters when tackling home renovation projects. Even an avid DIYer will not have the same industry experience as a professional painter that has done cabinet refinishing for years, every day. A weekend watching YouTube how-to tutorials will not compare the skills and knowledge you will get when you hire a professional. They know what they are doing, they’ve done it countless times before, and can produce seamless results the first time. Paying for experience will save you a lot of hassle and headaches. If you make a mistake with DIY the cost to fix the mistakes is often double the cost to do the original project.
Professional cabinet painters have the equipment
If you do not want brush strokes on your new cabinets, you will need to use a paint sprayer. That means you will need a workspace to use the sprayer too. Companies that specialize in cabinet refinishing in Calgary will have high-quality equipment, tools, and supplies. Purchasing a sprayer can be expensive and learning how to use it like a pro can take a long time. In addition to great spray equipment, the best companies will have a dust-free spray booth at their refinishing shop that is used to ensure flawless results.
Cabinet painting companies are fast and efficient
For a DIYer, it could take a long time to get that kitchen done. If you fit in a cabinet painting project on evenings and weekends, expect it to take weeks. You’ll likely make mistakes painting kitchen cabinets, which will add to the time it takes to complete this renovation.
An experienced and equipped team like Can Do More Painting can have the job done in days. They work like a well-oiled machine, completing each step in the process efficiently and without error.
You will get professional advice
You cannot paint all cabinet materials. Some cabinets are too damaged to be good candidates for Calgary cabinet painting. Certain paints can be used for cabinet refinishing, and some you should definitely avoid. Sanding techniques, prep work, and even the tools you use can all impact the results. These are all things the professional team at Can Do More Painting can advise you on. When you DIY, usually you learn by making a mistake first. The team at Can Do More Painting are woodworking specialists so they know the right cleaners, fillers, caulking, sandpaper, and products to use in order to repair all the cabinet defects so you end up with a cabinet project worth showing off!
