Cabinet Painting · Flower Mound, TX
Large Flower Mound kitchens, and the knots in the alder.
Kitchens in these neighborhoods are large and usually stain-grade — alder, maple or cherry from the 2000s building run — with a butler’s pantry, a bar and a mudroom that clients often forget belong to the same project.
Here is what cabinet painting in Flower Mound actually involves.
Knotty alder is the most common stock here and it has one non-negotiable requirement: the knots must be sealed with a shellac-based spot primer before a pale finish, or they bleed through as brown rings within months. It is not an expensive step and it is not optional — it simply has to be priced in rather than discovered afterwards. Maple in the same neighborhoods needs the opposite attention: it is tight and slick, so the factory lacquer has to be properly de-glossed or nothing bonds to it.
The other Flower Mound reality is scope creep, in the honest sense. In Canyon Falls and Timber Creek the kitchen is rarely the whole job — there is usually a pantry, a bar, mudroom lockers and often a pair of bath vanities that would look wrong left in the original finish. We count and price those as separate line items so you can see them and decide, rather than finding them mid-project.

Cabinet Painting in Flower Mound, in detail.
The parts of a cabinet painting job that people ask about separately.
These are the questions we hear most about cabinet painting in Flower Mound.
Will the knots show through white paint on knotty alder?
They will, unless the knots are sealed with a shellac-based primer first. Any quote that omits that step will be coming back within a year.
Should the pantry and mudroom be included?
Usually — a repainted kitchen next to a pantry still in the original finish is the most common reason the job looks half-done afterwards. We price them separately so it is your call.
What type of paint is best for cabinets?
Semi-gloss and gloss finishes are the best choice. Cabinets see a lot of use and wear, and glossier finishes offer higher durability as well as a surface that is easier to clean.
Is it a good idea to paint kitchen cabinets?
If you want to freshen up your kitchen and change the look of the space, painting your cabinets is an extremely easy and affordable way of doing it. The best way to make sure it adds value is to hire professionals who use top-quality paint and help you select the right color.
How invasive is the process?
The average cabinet job takes between three and four days and the process is fairly invasive. We discuss exactly what to expect up front and how we will minimize the disruption.
