The Importance Of Cabinet Painting That
LASTS For Milwaukee County Homes

When Itโ€™s Time To Invest In Cabinet Painting,
Here Are The Important Things To Know


As a Milwaukee County homeowner, you wonder how often you must turn to the experts for cabinet painting services to refresh your look. Itโ€™s an essential question because kitchen cabinets are a huge component of your homeโ€™s overall aesthetic.

The short answer? It depends.

Ideally, your cabinets should always look fresh, new, and beautiful. Itโ€™s the heart of your home, right? So, if you notice your cabinets just arenโ€™t meeting your expectations, it may be time to turn to professional cabinet painters for a refresh.

Turn to specialists like us, team Colorwheel, based here in Brookfield. For decades, weโ€™ve been the go-to cabinet painters around the Milwaukee Metro area. And we can tell you this:

โ€œYou can expect your kitchen cabinets painted by Colorwheel with high-quality paint to need repainting every five to ten years.โ€

And thatโ€™s not just hot air. Hereโ€™s an image of Michaelโ€™s kitchen the last time he had to repaint his Saukville homeโ€™s cabinets with the same quality paints. He and his family went with Farrow & Ballโ€™s School House White shade.

That said, the time from your cabinet painting service until you need the next one can vary depending on numerous factors. Letโ€™s dig into what you need to know.

Big, beautiful windows that bring a stream of natural light into your kitchen are an excellent feature for any Milwaukee County home. Thereโ€™s nothing better than cooking with the sunrise at your side or relaxing with family while rays are streaming in.

But while all of that natural light may be wonderful for you, it impacts the longevity of your kitchen cabinet paint. Constant exposure will cause it to fade quicker over time. So, you may need to repaint your cabinets sooner rather than later.

Paint Quality Matters!

Paint quality can go a long way in determining how long your cabinetโ€™s new, beautiful color will last. Less-quality paint will likely fade or chip faster and may cause you to turn to cabinet painting experts earlier than expected for a refresher.

To avoid this issue, weโ€™ll suggest you go with high-quality paint from demonstrated, well-known providers that stand up to long-haul wear and tear. If youโ€™re like us, you use your cabinets daily, meaning they must carry their weight.

Improper Cabinet Painting Services Could
Cause Your Paint To Lose Longevity

Painting your kitchen cabinets is more than just slapping on a coat of paint and moving on. Itโ€™s a highly detailed process that needs to be done carefully to ensure that your gorgeous cabinets remain beautiful and durable for as long as possible.

To get the best use out of your newly painted cabinets, there are several steps that must be followed, including:

  • Cleaning Surfaces
  • Priming Cabinets
  • Filling Holes
  • Careful Painting
  • Top Coating
  • Final Touch-Ups

If just one of these essential steps is missing or completely skipped, itโ€™s more likely that youโ€™ll have to repaint your cabinets sooner rather than later. So, itโ€™s good that weโ€™re committed to getting the details done right and giving you beautifully painted doors thatโ€™ll last.

Hereโ€™s another example of a cabinet painting project we did. These folks KNOW beyond a doubt that their new cabinet systems and the island cabinets will still look that good many years from now.
