Project Description
Thisย cabinet and millwork painting project in Westbrook, Maine, focused on transforming 20 interior shelves with a sleek and durable finish. The homeowner wanted a refined, custom look that would seamlessly blend with their space. Our process involved priming, spot filling, and applying two coats of premium paint, with careful sanding between each layer to ensure a smooth finish. The project took two days to complete, with a total cost of $2,000.
Background/Story:
The homeowner had recently installed bare wood shelving but found that the unfinished look didnโt match the rest of their interior. They wanted a professional finish that would not only enhance the aesthetics but also provide long-term durability.
After discussing their vision, we recommended Sherwin-Williams Gallery in โReticenceโ (SW6064)โa sophisticated, neutral shade that complemented their homeโs color palette. Our team ensured a smooth and efficient process, minimizing disruption while delivering a high-quality factory-like finish.
