Basic Cabinet Painting
Usually means latex, acrylic, or alkyd paint. It may be brushed, rolled, or lightly sprayed. It often costs less up front but has a shorter lifespan in a working kitchen.
If you searched for cabinet painting, this is the durable version: full prep, HVLP spray work, Italian 2K polyurethane, and a 5-year written warranty.
Parallel Painting does cabinet painting with the same process we use for cabinet refinishing: clean, sand, prime, spray, cure, reinstall, and protect the finish with Italian 2K polyurethane. We do not brush latex paint over kitchen cabinets.
The word "painting" is what many homeowners type into Google. The risk is that many quotes for cabinet painting are really just standard house paint applied to cabinet doors. That finish can chip around handles, yellow on white doors, and stick where doors close against frames.
Tyler's process is built for kitchens. The doors and drawers are removed and sprayed separately. The frames are finished on site inside careful masking and containment. The result is a smoother, harder, longer-lasting finish than a basic cabinet paint job.
Professional cabinet refinishing backed by real craftsmanship and honest business practices.
Every cabinet project uses Italian 2K polyurethane, not soft wall paint brushed or rolled onto doors.
Doors and drawer fronts are sprayed for a cleaner surface than brush-and-roll cabinet painting.
On-site frame work is masked and contained so your home stays protected during the finish stage.

A full refinishing process using professional prep, HVLP spray equipment, Italian 2K polyurethane, and a 5-year written warranty.
Yes. At Parallel Painting, cabinet painting and cabinet refinishing mean the same professional service: full prep, HVLP spray application, Italian 2K polyurethane, reinstall, alignment, and a 5-year written warranty.
Standard cabinet paint is usually latex, acrylic, or alkyd. It can look fine at first, but it stays softer than catalyzed 2K polyurethane and is more vulnerable to yellowing, edge chipping, sticking, and moisture failure.
Cabinets peel when prep is weak, the coating is too soft, or the finish cannot handle heat and moisture. Tyler prevents that with cleaning, sanding, bonding primer, controlled spray application, and a 2K polyurethane topcoat.
Most homeowners choose whites, warm off-whites, taupe, greige, green-gray, navy, or two-tone island combinations. Tyler reviews color and sheen during the estimate so the finish matches the home and lighting.
