A Shrewsbury family wanted kitchen cabinet refinishing AND first-floor interior repaint. Doing them sequentially as separate projects would have meant 10 working days and two crew mobilizations. Bundled, we did it in 7.
The challenge
Cabinet doors and drawers need controlled spray-finishing conditions — our shop, not the kitchen. Wall work needs open access — flooring covered, baseboards exposed, cut-lines hand-brushed. Sequencing the two so they don't fight each other is the trick.
What we did
- Day 1: Remove cabinet doors and drawers to our shop, deglaze + sand boxes in-kitchen
- Days 2–5: Walls + trim across kitchen, dining, living, half-bath. Cabinet doors sprayed in shop overnight
- Day 5: Cabinet boxes sprayed in-kitchen under plastic containment
- Day 6: Reinstall cabinet doors, drawers, new hardware
- Day 7: Touch-ups + final walk-through
The result
Coordinated palette — cabinets in BM White Dove, walls in Edgecomb Gray, trim matching cabinets. Open-plan first floor finally reads as one design instead of three. Saved 3 working days vs sequential scheduling and avoided a second crew mobilization.
