DIY vs. Call a Pro
Cabinet painting requires thorough prep: remove doors and hardware, clean with TSP, sand all surfaces, apply bonding primer, and use cabinet-grade paint with a foam roller for smooth finish. Allow 2-3 weeks for the full project.
Call a professional when:
Hire a professional if you want a spray-applied finish (smoother than roller), have many cabinets, or want specialized finishes like glazing or distressing.
