Kitchen Respray, Frequently asked questions

Yes, it is true that a kitchen respray is cheaper than going for a kitchen replacement. It saves you both lots of money and time. However, this stands true only your kitchen is worth a kitchen respray.

There is no point in respraying your kitchen if your kitchen cabinets are not strong enough or worth restoring. While this is the main thing to consider, here are a few other questions to help decide if your kitchen really should be resprayed or not.  see Kitchen Respray, Frequently asked questions

1.   Will it improve the kitchen’s brightness?

The first question to ask you is if it will help improve the kitchen’s brightness or light levels. You need to think about this because kitchens don’t always receive natural sunlight.

There are many homes, especially where the owners have extended their houses so their kitchen ends up in the middle of the home. So there is no question of any natural light entering the kitchen, especially in winter months. This is where a kitchen respray proves really helpful. It helps improve its level of brightness and makes the kitchen look much livelier.

2.   Are the kitchens worth repainting?

The next question you have to ask is if your cabinets are worth painting. They have to be structurally sound for a kitchen respray. Paint won’t help doors that tend to fall apart or don’t close properly.

3.   Is the wood coarse-grained?

if you have cabinets made of oak or some other coarse-grained species, your kitchen respray may be more expensive. You will have to first fill the grain with spackling compound to get a smooth finish.

This not only adds to the kitchen respray costs but also the amount of time necessary for the project. Sanding compounds is a long and extensive procedure. Of course, you can always skip this finish if you don’t mind a coarse finish to your kitchen respray project.

When a kitchen respray is a worthy investment

Of course, if your kitchen cabinets are in good shape, a kitchen respray is indeed a worthy investment. This is because the polyurethane or pack paints used are superior to conventional paints like oil-based paints.

It’s tough and durable enough to last much longer than conventional paints that succumb to abuse over the years. Some companies are even ready to give a 5-year delimitation guarantee to their kitchen respray procedure.

This gives you all the more reason to refurbish, and bring your old but sturdy cabinets and kitchen to life through a kitchen respray.
