How Cabinet Painting Works in Franklin
Builder cabinetry hides its potential under a thin factory coat. We strip it back the right way — a TSP degreasing wash, scuff sand to break the sheen, grain filling on open-grain oak, and a bonding primer — then spray with HVLP spray application in a cross-hatch spray pattern. Every door is labeled and mapped, sprayed off the hinges, and given a full 14-day full cure so the factory-smooth finish holds up to a busy Franklin kitchen.
What Franklin Homeowners Need to Know
Franklin refinishing is mostly a master-planned story. The kitchens in Westhaven, Fieldstone Farms, and McKay's Mill went in with builder-grade oak and maple through the 1990s and 2000s, and refinishing that existing wood gives them a custom, furniture-grade look — often the kitchen's first real update since the keys were handed over. Historic downtown homes bring older, solid cabinetry worth preserving, too. Read our 5.0★ Google reviews, or add Franklin interior painting to the adjoining rooms.
Cabinet Painting Questions From Franklin Homeowners
- What paint do you use on cabinets?
- We use Benjamin Moore Advance for most cabinet projects — a waterborne alkyd that levels beautifully and cures to an extremely hard, furniture-grade finish. For specialty applications, Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane is another option. Both are far superior to standard wall paint.
- How much does cabinet painting cost in Nashville?
- Every cabinet project is priced to the kitchen, not to a chart — no two kitchens are the same. What shapes the number is the size of the kitchen, how many doors and drawers there are, the condition of the existing finish, and the color you choose; a dark-to-light change, for example, needs additional primer coats. Alan or Sawyer looks at your cabinets in person, then you get a detailed written estimate with a firm number. Estimates are free.
- Do you paint bathroom vanity cabinets too?
- Yes. Bathroom vanities receive the same full process as kitchen cabinets — removal, cleaning, sanding, bonding primer, and HVLP spray application. Bathroom cabinets are exposed to higher moisture, so proper primer and paint selection is especially important.
- What if I don't like the color after it's done?
- That's why every project starts with a free color consult — testing large swatches in your kitchen's actual lighting. We don't begin until you've confirmed the color. The upfront time spent choosing eliminates surprises at the end.
