Crosslinked waterborne coating
A tougher finish for kitchens that work hard every day.

Your schedule is confirmed at the walkthrough
How it works
We see the room in person, help you choose a finish and color, and confirm scope and schedule.
Floors, counters, and doorways are covered and sealed off with full dust containment.
Doors, drawers, and hardware come off, are labeled to their exact place, and every surface is degreased.
Dings and gaps are filled, surfaces are sanded, and a bonding primer goes on for adhesion.
Your finish is sprayed in thin, even coats for a smooth surface with no brush or roller marks.
Everything goes back where it came from, and we inspect the finished room with you.
Why it lasts
Meticulous prep on every surface, and an adhesion test on every job before the finish goes on.
Each finish is one standardized coating system, sprayed the same way every time.
A documented quality checklist is completed and signed off before we pack up.
Care & cure
Your cabinets will feel dry within hours, but the finish keeps hardening for several weeks. Until it's fully cured, it marks more easily, so a little care early on keeps it looking new for years.
Open and close doors with care, and keep heavy scrubbing and sticky notes off the finish.
A soft cloth with a little dish soap, then wipe dry.
No abrasive pads, magic erasers, bleach, or ammonia.
Dry drips and splashes near the sink and dishwasher right away.
Questions
Signature suits most kitchens and bathrooms. Reserve is for kitchens that see heavy daily use, where water, grease, and frequent cleaning are part of life. Atelier is for owners who want the closest thing to new factory cabinets. We'll give you our recommendation at the walkthrough, once we've seen the room and how you use it.
It depends on the size of the kitchen, the condition of the existing finish, and the tier you choose, so we confirm your schedule during the walkthrough. With Atelier, doors and drawer fronts are finished off-site, so they're away a little longer, but they come back fully hardened.
No. All three finishes use coatings chosen for very low yellowing, so whites and pale colors stay true. It's one reason we don't use oil-based paints, which are known to yellow over time.
Yes. We can match any color from any paint brand, or your designer's specification, in any of the three finishes. You'll see a sample in your own light before work begins.
Not as standard: most cabinet interiors are a factory-finished material that's best left as it is. If you'd like interiors or open shelving finished to match, we'll include it in your proposal.
Mild soap and water on a soft cloth, then wipe dry. Avoid abrasive pads, magic erasers, bleach, and ammonia, and go gently for the first two weeks while the finish hardens.
Begin
We'll see the room, talk through color, finish, and door style, and give you an honest recommendation, then follow with a detailed written proposal.
