What We Enamel

More Than Cabinets

We remove cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and hardware and label everything so it goes back exactly where it came from. Every surface is cleaned, sanded, and primed, then sprayed with a durable enamel that dries smooth and hard without brush marks or drips. The same process works on interior doors, trim, stair railings, built-ins, and fireplace surrounds for a cohesive look throughout the home.

  • Kitchen cabinets and islands
  • Bathroom cabinets and vanities
  • Interior doors
  • Trim and baseboards
  • Stair railings and spindles
  • Built-ins and bookcases
  • Fireplace surrounds
  • Hardware removed, cleaned, and reinstalled

★★★★★

Exceptional Workmanship and Service! We reached out to Tucker at Maki Painting & Maintenance to prepare a townhome for sale. Tucker responded promptly, met in person and turned the quote around in a day. We experienced competitive pricing, pro-active communication and expert consultation. Maki Painting enameled kitchen and bathroom cabinets, fireplace surround, and stair railings. The crew was expert, communicative, enthusiastic and time after time performed work, (and extra requests), with an absolute can-do attitude. Their work was professional and flawless! They turned a darker feeling kitchen/family room area in to a light, open, larger feeling vibe. Maki Painting's work was so transformative we asked them to enamel our home kitchen and bathroom cabinets! We experienced the same enthusiasm, professionalism, pro-active communication we came to enjoy. When they began their work, the color match wasn't perfect. Tucker removed a peice of trim and matched colors exactly and perfectly on his own initiative! This extra effort is not something all companies would have done. Again, the crew was outstanding, the work was excellent with no details overlooked. The kitchen is beautiful! Maki Painting & Maintenance is one of the best Companies we have ever worked with. They know and execute great customer service and thier work is incredible. We highly recommend Maki Painting & Maintenance!

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is enameling different from regular painting?

Enamel is sprayed on in a controlled process and dries to a smooth, hard, durable finish without visible brush marks, closer to a factory finish than hand-brushed paint.

Do you enamel doors and trim, or just cabinets?

All of it. We enamel interior doors, trim and baseboards, stair railings, built-ins, and fireplace surrounds, as well as kitchen and bathroom cabinets.

How long does cabinet enameling take?

Most kitchens take several days from prep through final coats, depending on the number of doors, drawers, and surfaces involved. We'll walk through timing during your estimate.

Do you spray on-site or off-site?

Doors and drawer fronts are typically sprayed in a controlled booth setting for the smoothest finish, while cabinet boxes are finished on-site.

Will my kitchen be unusable during the project?

We work in phases and keep the space as functional as possible, and clean up thoroughly at the end of each day.
