I'm a general contractor, and i do a lot of kitchen and bath renovations, and i have occasional clients who request kitchen refinishing. I typically steer them away from it because of some of the poor jobs I've seen done. But your work in this video has opened my eyes to new possibilities. Thank you for sharing. Great job. I learned from my father as well, and I'm so grateful for his tutelage, as i make a great living doing things he and i shared before he passed. Blue Collar Pride is a real thing!

I watch the 36 minutes and enjoyed every one of them! Your a great painter and your a great teacher. Thank you for all the tips and I will be using them this summer to do my kitchen oak cabinets. I know I need to aqua coat first a couple of times, then I will be che king your 36 minute video again and taking notes! I saved your video and now I am subscribed ! Thank you again from 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

As a Construction Inspector and project Manager for many decades I watched and enjoyed every minute of this video. Real "craftsmen" are a rare find these days. Attention to detail, good prep work, keeping the worksite safe and clean, and quality products are all the necessary components to a good job that lasts for years. Nice work! Even if your son never paints another cabinet he has learned invaluable lessons the will apply to any career he chooses. Good job for teaching him these valuable life lessons!

Making a 2nd comment here - I have watched so many of your videos at this point over the last 6 months getting ready to tackle our cabinets. We finally did this week and I just have to say, thank you. Your advice has been priceless and we followed it to a 'T'. Paint selection, primer, home sprayer type, paint to water ratios, effort put into properly taping/prep, how fast to spray, all of it. I was terrified we were going to ruin our cabinets and I couldn't be more pleased with how they turned out. Thank you for putting this channel out and taking the time to film it, it made a big difference for us.

Yes I’ve watched the entire 36 minutes. Very informative. Studying now for when I do my daughter’s cabinets in about a month. I have never used a sprayer but I plan to practice first. Thanks for sharing

As a contractor for years, I am pleased that good contractors like yourself are still out there doing their best. Thank you for sharing all that most never see what it takes to do it right!

I am a 60 yr old woman who is renovating my house. I not only watched it i rewind at the good parts and take notes😊

OUTSTANDING! Watched all 36 minutes! Our kitchen is almost EXACT as this kitchen! I was quite nervous to paint white over dark wood. You did an INCREDIBLE job showing and detailing EACH STEP, and why. I loved that you shared all of your tools and paints used! Including the drying rack! I now know what to buy!! You and your son must be incredibly proud of your work and the finished product! I am certain the home owners must be thrilled! Thank you so much! I now have the confidence after watching your video from beginning to end to move forward!

I've seen all 36 minutes and realized that when we do things with such care as yours, then we can have such good results

The final product look very nice and you delivered just as the client requested 👍👍 you are a man with talent, details, and great prep work, which we can all appreciate greatly.

Watched all 34 minutes. There are very few videos that show how much effort goes into this level of full size kitchen update. I love how you clearly defined how important and time consuming the prep work is, and the quality of work shows through at the end. Now when homeowners say, it's just paint, there's a way to convert that into money... (5 days x two people x hourly rate) + materials and all of a sudden it makes sense. And thanks to your helpers. Very well done.

You should try an electric spray from home depot or something similar. I used one to paint a wood fence as well as the eaves and fascia of the house. Really holds up well and is convenient, especially since brushing or rolling can be tedious. I typically use water based and dilute a bit until a even flow and texture is being applied.

This was one the best “How to…” videos I’ve seen for kitchen painting. Although still challenging for a very novice painter like myself. I feel you explained in great detail especially the preparation steps.

This is, by far, the best kitchen cabinet tutorial I've seen on KZread. I've taken notes and will be painting my kitchen cabinets asap.

Awesome job! I am 100% with you on preparation, like the old saying, "fail to prepare, prepare to fail". My eldest daughter gets married soon, they have just got their house and we decided the kitchen units needed painting, watching this video opened my eyes and gave me the knowledge I needed. Ps, I am a retired teacher/trainer and loved your presentation👏👊

36 minutes--I did it!! I learned: it's a heckuva lot of work to paint cabinets; there's more prep time than painting time; there's more cleanup/touch up time than painting time; a lot of costly supplies are needed and then thrown away; high quality equipment is required to get a high quality end result; and, I should not do this myself! Thanks for doing this video!

I was once advised that painting white on white is very difficult. To ensure complete coverage it helps if you add a touch of yellow paint to the first coat allows you to see exactly where you are up to.

Wow, this was so thorough. The pride you take in your work is unsurpassed. Great job.

I enjoy watching a true craftsman at work, making a ridiculously difficult and frustrating job look easy and sound fun … great work!

Omg! Watched every min....paused & wrote down choices of paint types & why! Truly appreciated & didn't realize just how much work is involved!

My husband and I watched the entire video! Absolutely superior job. We really want to have our kitchen cabinets painted. If there was someone in our area who could do the job as perfectly as you, we would hire them immediately.

Beautiful job - DIYer here and you're inspiring me to try my hand at painting my cabinets! Thank you

Thank you for this video. After watching it perhaps one more time, I'll be ready to tackle my kitchen cabinets. My bravery is based on the fact that, if I mess up, they're mine and I am more than willing to do whatever it takes to come out with a near, if not flawless finish. Thanks again for the inspiration.

Watched it! You are SUCH a good teacher. I read everything at your website and watched your previous videos (multiple times!). Finally went for it and painted my kitchen cabinets 6 months ago. I then ventured on to my master bath, and am just putting my 'public bath' back together as we speak! It all came out absolutely gorgeous - such an amazing transformation. I especially love the grain filler trick on my ancient oak cabinets. What a difference THAT made. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

I watched the whole 33.56 minutes of your video. You and your son did a fabulous job! I am in the stage of planning to pain my own kitchen cabinets. I love how your cabinets turned out. They look so professional and glass like. I will invest in a good paint sprayer, and prep materials. Thank you for this video!

I have to say this has been one of the best kitchen spraying videos I've seen. Great info. Great pace. Answers a lot of questions. And of course the work was top notch. I also liked the humility shown about missed tasks or missed spots. Very true to life.

I've been doing kitchen cabinets with advance for many many years. This is my process, almost, to a T! Great work from both of you

Worth the 33 minutes of my life. Achieving a smooth finish is always my biggest concern when painting cabinets but feeling a lot more confident now. Great job!

Beautiful video! Great to see your son there :) You are a master house-painting artist 👨🏼‍🎨. Thank you for the diligence you represent. My favorite uncle (Jake) was a WW2 army veteran who became a house painter. I’m glad to see you protecting your lungs & brain! God bless you!

Frog tape will take paint off the wall. I built the rack and it was wonderful. I would suggest slightly thicker dowels as the 1/2" dowel does sag under the weight of the doors. Plus the 4" distance between dowels is tight. You have to really be careful when sliding the doors in.

It’s great you’re bringing your son on and teaching him how to work and do things himself. My dad and uncle always had me help them at work and those skills I learned brought me very far in life

I am not a painter and have no desire to be one, but that was amazing to watch. Definitely shows his proficiency and the instinctive things he does during prep. That kitchen literally transformed by changing the cabinet color. Great job.

I stayed for the whole time. Beautiful job. It’s nice to see the dedication required for a PERFECT JOB. The Prep work looked like a horrible job to have to do. You all did a wonderful job. You and your son worked well together.

I did watch the 34 min video, it was well worth it and thank you for taking the time to go through it all in such great detail. It really only felt like 10min!

Yep, watched the HOLE video. Enjoyed your, your son and the other helper on reassemble day, Professional Jop on this kitchen cabinet paint job. Never had painted cabinets. Dad was a cabinet maker in his younger years. They were always wood with a natural look. Remember mom saying our cabinets had 23 coats of varnish with her sanding in between every coat. They looked like they were made out of glass.

Awesome awesome video! I'm a weekend worrier interior roller painter who's slowly developed a love for the art. My plans are to eventually shadow someone with cabinetry/HPLV experience. Watching your video was like the next best thing (2 thumbs up). I really loved how you shared details on time, things to look out for, tools used, etc. Actually your 30 minute video didn't feel long at all. Your work is amazing! Again great job to you, your son and your son's friend.

Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to record this job and share it with us. I did watch the entire video and gained a lot from it, particularly the 20% dilution of the paint for better atomisation (Australian spelling). Wonderful finish to the cabinets.

I just watched the WHOLE thing. Thanks for all the tips. I have to conquer my cabinets soon. So wish I could afford to have it done.

I watched the whole thing man. Good Job!!! I now feel confident enough to do my own cabinets and take all the extra steps to make sure it is done right.

I love when folks take the extra time to do the boring work like preping very good and all the cleaning bc someone that has true experience and is a professional will take the time for that amazing end result.

Just one tip, clean the cabinets before sanding. The primer and the paint will adhere much better.

Does the video ever reveal what the customer paid? I'm only at the beginning and clearly there is a couple days of labor just to prep. He mentions the need to clear many of the doors as well. As a handyman I steer away from such projects, it's so hard to appreciate all the prep time.

I did watch the entire video and am especially impressed with your prep and care for the surrounding ceilings and walls.

Love this! Personally I use the stix primer like you mentioned and the pearl finish on the advance line. Love the sheen it leaves and homeowners love how easy it cleans also. I'll definitely need to try out the satin sheen! Also a little trick I found was using a cooking rack that i bought from a restaurant which was closing that I use on all my projects to hold the cabinets and it works great.

The Advance satin is a beautiful finish but I moved to Coronado. It's still a beautiful finish at a much lower cost with a 4 hour recoat time vs. the Advance 16 hour dry time. It doesn't have as hard of a finish as Advance but it's still great. Just used it in my living room and I love it.
