What's included in kitchen cabinet prep work?

Preparation includes degreasing, sanding, filling imperfections, priming, and full masking of all surrounding surfaces — it is the most labour-intensive part of the job. AP Sprayers completes a full preparation process on every kitchen before any topcoat is applied. This is what separates a finish that lasts years from one that fails within months.

Preparation is the most labour-intensive part of a professional cabinet respray and accounts for a significant portion of the overall cost. AP Sprayers' preparation process includes thorough degreasing of all surfaces, sanding to create a mechanical key for adhesion, filling any chips, dents, or imperfections, applying a specialist primer coat, and full masking of worktops, appliances, walls, and floors. No topcoat is applied until surfaces are fully prepared. This is why a professional respray lasts years longer than a DIY job — the preparation is done properly every time, on every kitchen we work on.
