Furniture painting faq
We got A LOT of questions about the dos and don’ts of furniture painting. We’ve collected some of the questions that we frequently receive and our answers here!
1. What types of furniture can you paint?
We can generally paint any kind of wood furniture, including dressers, tables, chairs, cabinets, and more. If you're unsure whether your piece is a good candidate for painting, feel free to send us a photo for a consultation by filling out this form.
Generally we want to avoid painting furniture that is made of HDF or MDF. If you’re not sure what your furniture is made of, send us some photos and we’ll help you figure it out.
2. Can you paint my kitchen cabinets?
Yes! This is a great way to give your kitchen a fresh, modern look without a full renovation.
3. Do you offer custom colors or finishes?
Absolutely. We work with a wide range of colors and finishes, including matte, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss. We can also match a specific shade if you have one in mind.
4. How durable will the painted finish be?
We use high-quality paints and sealants designed for furniture, ensuring durability and longevity. With proper care, the finish will last for years.
5. Can you achieve special effects like distressing or a weathered look?
Yes, we can create custom finishes such as distressed, weathered, or antique effects. Let us know what look you're going for, and we’ll work with you to achieve it.
6. Will the paint chip or peel over time?
We take steps to prevent chipping and peeling, including thorough surface preparation, priming, and sealing. However, heavy wear-and-tear or improper care could affect the finish. We’ll provide care tips to help maintain your furniture.
7. How long does the process take?
Most furniture painting projects take 2–4 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the piece. Larger projects may take longer. We'll give you an estimated timeline during the consultation.

No preparation is necessary on your part! We'll handle cleaning, sanding, and prepping the piece to ensure a smooth and professional finish.
