Here's the part of the job nobody posts about: prep.
Before any colour goes on, we mask and protect the kitchen (that's the blue tape and plastic here, on a job in the Belle River area), then clean and sand every surface. Next comes BIN shellac primer. It bonds to the old finish and helps stop stains and wood tannins from bleeding through, which matters a lot on oak.
Paint is only as good as what's under it. Skip the prep and it shows sooner or later. And yes, you can still use your kitchen while we work.
