painting cabinets

I am looking for opinions. We have custom cabinets that were just finished in our kitchen, master bathroom, guest bathroom, wet bar and laundry room. When the painters painted them they did not sand, prime or paint the bottom of the drawer faces. Nor did they fill, sand and paint the cabinet faces where they put the screws to hang them to spray. I would like to know if this is common practice as we don’t feel is acceptable.

You have wall painters. Not cabinet finishers. Actually, wall painters would likely do a better job. Cabinets should be finished by the cabinet maker in their shop’s spray room. They shouldn’t shove off 30-80% of the cost to some unknown mow and blow guy using housecpaint or lacquer. So you need to examine what quality you received there too.

That's all that is important. Stand up and talk to your contractor -- no need to get backup here.
