A Proper Kitchen Cabinet Paint Job with Spray-net Durham
THE BEGINNING
If you have read this blog for a while, you may remember that when we purchased our home in 2021 we knew that we would need to update it from top to bottom. The previous owner had been using it as a rental property for 12 years and sorely neglected it. Thankfully, we were able to do a lot of the work that needed to be done before moving in and of course, surprises came up that wrecked our budget. One of the things that we wanted to prioritize was making our small kitchen one that we loved because we love to cook and it is the heart of our home. I fell in love with this Hunter Green color with black + gold hardware and our cabinet maker recommended his preferred painter to make it happen. I trusted that because he did a great job building the boxes, his painter recommendation would be great too.
That, my friends, was a mistake! The painter that he recommended to paint our cabinets was an amateur, and although the color was applied to the cabinets, we realized pretty quickly that it would not last long because there were chips and wear almost immediately. We knew that we would need to repaint but to be completely honest even as an interior designer I was lost as to the next best solution.
Then I heard about Spray-Net. This Canadian company is new to NC and has its exclusive technique to deliver factory finish paint jobs to cabinets right at your home in a quick turnaround time. Here is what they had to say on their website about their cabinet innovative painting solution.

My experience
The crew arrived right on time at my home and immediately got to work setting up their “booth” in my garage. I was so pleased with how efficient they were with prepping the space to protect it from all surfaces other than the cabinets! I worked from home upstairs while they were working and they were respectful about their noise and did not leave a mess when they wrapped up their work on day one. I was pleasantly surprised and overjoyed when they came in on day 2 and were completely finished and cleaned up by 3 pm. They definitely underpromised and over-delivered because I expected to be out of my kitchen for at least 3 whole days. I could not be happier with the paint color and it honestly feels like I have a brand new kitchen. The sheen and the finish of the cabinets are what we hoped for on our first try but now have. And it will last without failing until we decide to leave this home.
If you are thinking about repainting your cabinets or refreshing the paint on the exterior of your home, I cannot recommend Spray-Net enough. Thank you Spray-Net Durham for partnering with me on this kitchen refresh!
