Love the drying rack. I did watch to the end but did skipped through some parts to just get the make points, still great video

[@tobydavis166]

When caulking do you caulk the cabinet doors? I filled the grain on my doors and filled in the edges where the trim meets the door (on the door) if that makes sense. It has now cracked. I’ve heard if you use a flexible caulk on the doors the doors can still shrink or expand without the caulk cracking is this true?

[@danbalkey2580]

Great video watch more the 36 mins watch twice. Just can’t fine a good paint that hard as it can be I have used this paint before on a speaker box midnight blue with 2 coat of primer and 3 coats of paint same paint you used but not hard anything place on top makes marks bump it it make a mark. Someone told us d auto paint get hard as a rock for speaker job. What the paint would you used other the this BM ??? But a great video learn a lot of good ideas. Any help would be appreciated ps also what about Lacquer paint ??

[@TheWhitik]

36 minutes here! One year later. Great video. Thank you.

[@garrett8073]

I'm a general contractor, and i do a lot of kitchen and bath renovations, and i have occasional clients who request kitchen refinishing. I typically steer them away from it because of some of the poor jobs I've seen done. But your work in this video has opened my eyes to new possibilities. Thank you for sharing. Great job. I learned from my father as well, and I'm so grateful for his tutelage, as i make a great living doing things he and i shared before he passed. Blue Collar Pride is a real thing!

[@alanbutler5210]

Your comment is humbling Garrett. I'm just recently venturing out on my own to do handyman/GC work as well and admitting there's always still so much to know is refreshing. Glad you're loving what you're doing and are successful, it helps!

[@1Aplease]

[@georgerivera8300]

Me personally I would have waited till the stone top was removed. That would avoid any damage to the beautiful job you did.

[@johnnewton6472]

Opened my mind into refurbing rather than replacing great work fella

[@sandyisabelle9944]

I watch the 36 minutes and enjoyed every one of them! Your a great painter and your a great teacher. Thank you for all the tips and I will be using them this summer to do my kitchen oak cabinets. I know I need to aqua coat first a couple of times, then I will be che king your 36 minute video again and taking notes! I saved your video and now I am subscribed ! Thank you again from 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@PhyllisHoutsma]

As a Construction Inspector and project Manager for many decades I watched and enjoyed every minute of this video. Real "craftsmen" are a rare find these days. Attention to detail, good prep work, keeping the worksite safe and clean, and quality products are all the necessary components to a good job that lasts for years. Nice work! Even if your son never paints another cabinet he has learned invaluable lessons the will apply to any career he chooses. Good job for teaching him these valuable life lessons!

[@vincesalpietro1812]

What I appreciate most about all 30 minutes of this video is that you’re showing the REALITY of what these projects look like. As a professional scenic artist, when I work “up close & personal” at home jobs, the details you’re commenting on are the “insider tips” that I think most introductory (and even professional) videos ignore. Tips about caulking, cleanup, detail sanding, masking, etc. are the types of craftsmanship things that you ONLY learn after a project is finished. Even in the middle of projects I find myself saying “there HAS to be a way to avoid this in the future,” but unfortunately many times this is after the point-of-no-return, “next time we’ll know better” situation. I loved the emphasis on the fact that the REAL work is the prep, attention to detail, and cleanup that all the “amateurs” don’t consider with our type of work. Cheers for a great informative video.

[@Denvernate]

Making a 2nd comment here - I have watched so many of your videos at this point over the last 6 months getting ready to tackle our cabinets. We finally did this week and I just have to say, thank you. Your advice has been priceless and we followed it to a 'T'. Paint selection, primer, home sprayer type, paint to water ratios, effort put into properly taping/prep, how fast to spray, all of it. I was terrified we were going to ruin our cabinets and I couldn't be more pleased with how they turned out. Thank you for putting this channel out and taking the time to film it, it made a big difference for us.

[@daggerdick073]

Where did you get the sprayer my friend

[@sailsoar]

Nice work!

[@Denvernate]

​@@daggerdick073Actually found it on FB marketplace for $100. Used the Flexio 5000 and it worked like a dream

[@khooter6110]

Yes I’ve watched the entire 36 minutes. Very informative. Studying now for when I do my daughter’s cabinets in about a month. I have never used a sprayer but I plan to practice first. Thanks for sharing

[@diypainting]

Made my day seeing this comment!

[@sherylnh31]

OUTSTANDING! Watched all 36 minutes! Our kitchen is almost EXACT as this kitchen! I was quite nervous to paint white over dark wood. You did an INCREDIBLE job showing and detailing EACH STEP, and why. I loved that you shared all of your tools and paints used! Including the drying rack! I now know what to buy!! You and your son must be incredibly proud of your work and the finished product! I am certain the home owners must be thrilled! Thank you so much! I now have the confidence after watching your video from beginning to end to move forward!

[@modisumocustoms9374]

Watched all 34 minutes. There are very few videos that show how much effort goes into this level of full size kitchen update. I love how you clearly defined how important and time consuming the prep work is, and the quality of work shows through at the end. Now when homeowners say, it's just paint, there's a way to convert that into money... (5 days x two people x hourly rate) + materials and all of a sudden it makes sense. And thanks to your helpers. Very well done.

[@ritmolatino1627]

thats why it would probably be cheaper and faster to have a new kitchen put in

[@josephmcvicker7280]

​@@ritmolatino1627 Cabinet prices have skyrocketed. A PAINTED three drawer base cabinet "ready to assemble" is $700+ at Lowes.

[@billclappison1571]

Yes. I echo that sentiment. There's a ton of time and effort required in achieving results everyone can be happy with. This is a great illustration of that. I think I'll use this video as a sales tool for upcoming jobs. It really will help clients justify the price in their own minds without me having to do any convincing.

[@AscDrew]

If $1000/day/person x5 days that’s $10K. Can’t get new cabinets and installation anywhere near that for that size kitchen, IMO.

[@TransAm-Jack]

[@carrievaughn6920]

I watched the whole thing!! I'm painting my kitchen, and I appreciate all of the advice you have offered!! I feel very confident in my DIY project! 😅

[@yvonnecamperriovista225]

I watched the entire video. I’m a 75 yr old woman and want to do a few smaller projects, no sprayers for me. But the painting hints really help. You sure put lots of work into your work, I can tell you’re very proud of what you do.

[@dablopski]

You should try an electric spray from home depot or something similar. I used one to paint a wood fence as well as the eaves and fascia of the house. Really holds up well and is convenient, especially since brushing or rolling can be tedious. I typically use water based and dilute a bit until a even flow and texture is being applied.

[@kahnihorton1013]

I also watched the whole video and I’m going to watch it again with my husband. Thank you so much. I’m sure I will not find a better one.

[@WibbyKDX]

Just bought the Flexio 5000. I don’t even have a big project but Amazon had a payment plan that I couldn’t pass up

[@maureenamos7868]

Hi from Australia. Beautiful job! I can see now why it's not cheap to have my kitchen painted. You've inspired me to wrap out my pergola and give a spray gun a go! Thank you. Great video ! ❤

[@s.m.5483]

Excellent video tutorial! Watched the whole thing, was edited well, no extra that didn't need to be in it. Best video I've found. Excellent work! Came out beautifully! We own a plastering & stucco company so I appreciate the quality of your work! Good stuff!

[@bradalexander968]

This was one the best “How to…” videos I’ve seen for kitchen painting. Although still challenging for a very novice painter like myself. I feel you explained in great detail especially the preparation steps.

[@Natalie-oz4hi]

I am a 60 yr old woman who is renovating my house. I not only watched it i rewind at the good parts and take notes😊

[@amusedandcurious]

Me to 60 and renovating

[@BambamMoon]

Me too getting list ready to start prep. Excellent video.

[@tonyawoodworth3659]

same!

[@pmcg9690]

Awesome job! I am 100% with you on preparation, like the old saying, "fail to prepare, prepare to fail". My eldest daughter gets married soon, they have just got their house and we decided the kitchen units needed painting, watching this video opened my eyes and gave me the knowledge I needed. Ps, I am a retired teacher/trainer and loved your presentation👏👊

[@ghutchin33]

Wow, this was so thorough. The pride you take in your work is unsurpassed. Great job.

[@stevekarli638]

Great job! I’m a 65 yo retired painter and I’ve done many kitchen repaints - Love Advance for durability and how it lays down. I too had a small drying rack of 2x4s and dowels and I added casters to mine so you could move it. Your son is a great helper - in later years my son helped me as well and I know what you mean about showing up to a job and getting into a rhythm from experience. Keep up the great work!

[@johnpatman1765]

As a contractor for years, I am pleased that good contractors like yourself are still out there doing their best. Thank you for sharing all that most never see what it takes to do it right!

[@perrycisneros4441]

Agree! These days everyone is just working for a check, no pride!

[@StayceMichelle]

I watched the entire process!!! Nice job!!😊

[@abrahammacuil4838]

I watched the entire video! It is 36 mins but you keep things moving along and your voiceover is great and easy to understand, THANK YOU for letting us know how your mind works when you are doing such great work 👍🏼

[@Divergevent]

This is, by far, the best kitchen cabinet tutorial I've seen on KZbin. I've taken notes and will be painting my kitchen cabinets asap.

[@MrChristopher1]

I watched all 34 minutes of this video and have become way smarter as a result. I almost feel like I owe YOU some money. GREAT JOB MAN! 😌

[@ghazi1175]

I thought this video was 10min long. I realized I had seen the full 36 once you said it at the end. Beautiful work man. Thank you!

[@TB-mk3fq]

My husband and I watched the entire video! Absolutely superior job. We really want to have our kitchen cabinets painted. If there was someone in our area who could do the job as perfectly as you, we would hire them immediately.

[@yankydomination]

What area are you. I do same steps and quality. He is very good.

[@TheARDaniel]

My kitchen cabinets look similar, but in worse shape. I have seen inferior work so I love seeing that it might be possible to do a good job with great prep work.

[@billclappison1571]

I have to say this has been one of the best kitchen spraying videos I've seen. Great info. Great pace. Answers a lot of questions. And of course the work was top notch. I also liked the humility shown about missed tasks or missed spots. Very true to life.

[@hummer4303]

Very well done With a lot of very good advice. Worthwhile watching ALL

[@safetymanbr549]

Great quality work! Very impressed. 32 year contractor myself. Wonderfull to know the quality craftsmanship is being carried on. What a wonderful message for your son.

[@LuisGarcia-036]

I’m watching this in the middle of the night, because I was going to paint cabinets while my wife was out of town for a weekend… I will no longer be doing that, there’s no way I’ll get it done in time, but this looks great!

[@christinefeucht8668]

I could watch you paint all day long. Quite therapeutic. Thanks for sharing.

[@soumiaallaoua3220]

[@johnmcdonald9977]

I was once advised that painting white on white is very difficult. To ensure complete coverage it helps if you add a touch of yellow paint to the first coat allows you to see exactly where you are up to.

[@stanleyhickley7729]

Hi,yes I watched the entire process, enjoyed your commentary, I'm a retired carpenter and I have fitted many kitchens, but I must say you've done a great job on this makeover, watching from the other side of the world, Cape Town ,South Africa, stay safe.

[@joewhitfield6316]

Thank you for this video. After watching it perhaps one more time, I'll be ready to tackle my kitchen cabinets. My bravery is based on the fact that, if I mess up, they're mine and I am more than willing to do whatever it takes to come out with a near, if not flawless finish. Thanks again for the inspiration.

[@lisastoner2342]

Watched it! You are SUCH a good teacher. I read everything at your website and watched your previous videos (multiple times!). Finally went for it and painted my kitchen cabinets 6 months ago. I then ventured on to my master bath, and am just putting my 'public bath' back together as we speak! It all came out absolutely gorgeous - such an amazing transformation. I especially love the grain filler trick on my ancient oak cabinets. What a difference THAT made. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

[@angryw4nderer]

Did you use sheetrock mud for the oak filling?

[@lisastoner2342]

@@angryw4nderer Yes I did. Could have gone heavier on it because I can still see some grain, but a big improvement as is.

[@jamesbradley2041]

Awesome awesome video! I'm a weekend worrier interior roller painter who's slowly developed a love for the art. My plans are to eventually shadow someone with cabinetry/HPLV experience. Watching your video was like the next best thing (2 thumbs up). I really loved how you shared details on time, things to look out for, tools used, etc. Actually your 30 minute video didn't feel long at all. Your work is amazing! Again great job to you, your son and your son's friend.

Love it!! All 36 minutes of it! Great work!

Wow, beautiful work! I love when folks take the extra time to do the boring work like preping very good and all the cleaning bc someone that has true experience and is a professional will take the time for that amazing end result. Amazing. I am just wondering how much did this all cost? That was a lot of work. You did amazing. BRAVO!!!

How did it go?

[@JasmineG81]

Me to what color are you going with I have dark marble top and dark hand etched floors

[@tinsleydrone6296]

Frog tape will take paint off the wall. I built the rack and it was wonderful. I would suggest slightly thicker dowels as the 1/2" dowel does sag under the weight of the doors. Plus the 4" distance between dowels is tight. You have to really be careful when sliding the doors in.
