Cabinet Painting: Ames, Liberty County
Sprayed, not brushed — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches cabinet painting, and it does not change between Ames and anywhere else we work. What does change is the house: kitchen grease is the single most common reason a cabinet repaint peels, so degreasing is not optional, so the scope gets set on site.
Our Cabinet Painting scope in Ames
- Doors and drawer fronts removed, labelled and sprayed off site of the kitchen
- Boxes degreased, then deglossed by hand
- Bonding primer on every face that will show
- Hard cabinet-grade topcoat sprayed for an even film
- Hardware reset and doors rehung to the original openings
Weather sets the rhythm of this work along the Gulf Coast, and Ames is no exception: humidity stretches dry times, summer storms interrupt exterior schedules, and a crew that plans around both finishes on time. Kitchen grease is the single most common reason a cabinet repaint peels, so degreasing is not optional.

What cabinet painting costs in Ames
We do not publish flat prices for cabinet painting, because two Ames homes can need very different amounts of work behind the same-looking job. What we can tell you is exactly what moves the number, and then put yours in writing after a free walkthrough.
- Door and drawer count: the job is priced by the piece, not the room
- Color change: dark-to-light conversions need more coats
- Condition: grease, old finishes and previous paint add prep hours
- New hardware, and whether old handle holes need filling and re-drilling

Because we run regular routes through Liberty County, a Ames job is local work for us: Liberty is 3.1 miles away and on the same circuit. That means realistic scheduling, and a crew that comes back quickly if anything needs a touch-up.
