Painting Oak Cabinets
in Dallas–Fort Worth.
Grain filled or left to show, with nothing bleeding through.
Oak is the most common cabinet wood in Dallas–Fort Worth homes built from the 1980s through the 2000s, and the hardest to paint well. Its open grain shows through paint, and its tannins can bleed through a light color. Prepared properly, it takes a new color beautifully.
Grain: filled, or left to show
Oak's deep grain reads through paint as a fine texture. Some clients like that: it still looks like real wood under the color. Others want a smooth, furniture-like surface, so the grain is filled before priming and the finish lies flat. We'll talk through both at the consultation.
Nothing bleeding through
Oak's natural tannins can work their way up through a white or light color as faint yellow or pink stains, sometimes weeks after painting. A stain-blocking primer goes under the color on every oak project, which is what keeps a white kitchen white.
From golden oak to anything
The golden and honey tones that date so many oak kitchens sit awkwardly with today's counters, floors, and lighting. A new color, whether a warm white, a greige, or a deep green, changes the room more than any other single update. If the door shape is what dates the room, such as cathedral arches, a Kitchen Facelift replaces the doors and drawer fronts and refinishes the oak boxes to match.
