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 didnโ€™t 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 โ€˜Reticenceโ€™ (SW6064)โ€”a sophisticated, neutral shade that complemented their homeโ€™s color palette. Our team ensured a smooth and efficient process, minimizing disruption while delivering a high-quality factory-like finish.

Scope of Services

  • Shelf Priming: Applied a premium wood primer to all 20 bare wood shelves for strong adhesion and durability.
  • Glazing & Spot Filling: Filled in small imperfections with glazing compound to achieve a flawless, smooth surface.
  • Sanding Between Coats: Gently sanded each layer to ensure an even, factory-quality finish.
  • Cabinet & Millwork Painting: Applied two coats of Sherwin-Williams Gallery (SW6064 Reticence) for a refined, long-lasting look.
  • Final Touch-Ups & Inspection: Ensured every shelf had a smooth, consistent finish before final approval.
