My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Painting kitchen cabinets

4 years ago

Hi everyone. I'd like some advice on painting my kitchen cabinets. I'm planning on painting uppers white and lowers black. Any advice on brand and type of paint? -- tell me what you used for your painting project. Glossy finish vs. flat finish -- which is more durable and easier to maintain? which is better to get a smooth, even look?
