Like most people you probably use your kitchen everyday and will continue to do so for the life of your kitchen. The wear and tear of your kitchen cabinets is much more than any other cabinetry in your home what’s more cabinets will get dirty and collect food particles and bacteria.
When painting kitchen cabinets we recommend oil based enamel, our choice is Sherwin Williams Promar 200. Oil based enamel will not run when using a moderate amount of water or even some abrasives to clean cabinets throughout the life of your kitchen.

I highly recommend using Marvelous Works. I had quartz countertops and a new sink installed in my kitchen and the final product is beautiful. I watched Brandon and his assistant as they cut the quartz in my driveway. It is clear that they are experts and was exciting to watch them. I was able to schedule the install in less than a week of contacting Gabe. Very impressive final result.
