Our Cabinet Painting Process
At Image Painting, we take great care in our painting projects. We start with careful preparation, which looks a bit different than a typical interior or exterior paint job. Cabinets are a frequently-touched part of your home, much more so than a standard wall, so the paint coating them needs to be durable. This starts with the right preparation.
When painting cabinets, our preparation process includes:
- Covering and protecting all surfaces
- Removing all hardware
- Labeling doors and drawers with their location
- Removing all doors and drawers
- Buff sanding all surfaces to achieve a smooth surface
- Wiping all surfaces with a de-glossing agent
- Applying a coat of bonding primer
- Applying a coat of primer if the cabinets are made with open-grain wood or have a dark stain
- Buff sanding between primer coats
Once prepped, we paint the cabinets, using specialized techniques to achieve a smooth, even, and professional-looking finish. We wrap up with top coats and finishing coats, applying light coats to achieve a durable, near-factory finish.

Didier Heiremans2025-05-06Very pleased with the quality of service delivered by this company, from initial contact, to estimate, to execution. The project consisted of painting the outdoor of a 3-story townhouse, including brick wall facade, wood trimwork and an elaborate 2-story metal deck in the back of the house. During the initial visit, Jai was very professional, explained the process well and asked all the right questions about our expectations, paint and color selection, etc. Andrew (owner) and Erick (supervisor) stopped by when the project started. Primo and Luis then worked together as an experienced team and they did a great job scraping, sanding, priming and applying 2 coats of paint throughout, as per contract. Some rotten wood was discovered on a window trim and they executed a skilled repair (slight added fee). Erick coordinated and supervised the entire project with regular site visits. He made sure every detail was taken care of, with a joint final inspection. A class act!
Kim Gurley2025-04-28Image Painting did a FANTASTIC JOB painting our home's exterior. From getting the quote, to scheduling the job, to completing the job, their customer service was excellent. The site manager proactively communicated during the entire process, visited the site every work day, and addressed our questions immediately. The painting crew was courteous, skilled, and professional. They used high quality Sherwin Williams Duration paint, and color matched our existing colors perfectly. Our home looks fresh and pristine! The bonus? Their bid was substantially lower than 2 other companies we interviewed. They were highly recommended by a neighbor who used them recently for exterior painting, and I'm happy that I chose them, too. Do not hesitate! This is a great company to do business with and I will use them again in a heartbeat!
Rosemary Harold2025-04-28My husband and I are very happy about the quality of the work that Image Painting recently completed for us — which involved a lot of meticulous prep work on cast iron, wood and metal surfaces on the exterior of our 139-year-old row house on CapitolHill. Image Painting also hit the mark it set for the time needed to complete the job. We had long used another painting company before this year, but the owner retired and left us in some trepidation about finding another painter as good. Image Painting actually exceeded the old standard.
Jane Clary2025-04-23We enjoyed working with Image Painting. Andrew was very timely and professional with the quote and our painter , Juan, did an excellent job with the interior painting. No muss, no fuss and a perfect end result. I will definitely hire them in the future.
Chad Shearer2025-04-21Image does consistently great work and has the most courteous teams. My go-to painters!
Ryan Fleming2025-04-17Image Painting did my window trim this spring. I was very happy with the results!
Matt Edwards2025-03-24They did my house in Clifton, VA in March 2025. Unlike some painting companies that just want to paint but don't really care to do other important stuff like carpentry / repairing rotted wood), the guys at Image Painting were full-service and attentive to the whole scope of work. They did a walkthrough beforehand so it was clear what I needed done; kept in touch with me throughout the job, such as when weather-related schedule adjustments were needed; they let me know when their guys ran across issues or had questions, and basically did everything they said they were gonna do, on-time and for a fair price. They even did a closeout walkthrough to make sure I was satisfied with the work. These guys do stuff the right way.
Jean Nordhaus2025-03-24They always do quick, good work. Reliable and honest. I wouldn’t use any other painting company.
Whitney Calvert2025-03-12We had drywall repair and painting done by Image Painting and are very pleased with their work! An added bonus: we didn't need to prepare for their arrival by moving anything for them -- they did a great job moving and covering everything that needed moving and covering. Highly recommend them!
