New White Cabinets

4 years ago

Long story short, we are on month 7 of a kitchen remodel. 80% of the doors were installed damaged and touch-ups of paint with a paint brush by the installer made them appear worse. We are told they are all being replaced, but we noticed today the hood above our range looks like this, from the cabinet installer who is not a painter but did touch-ups around the kitchen with a paint brush on factory-finished cabinets. Would you accept this?

I saw little spray cans at the sw store. I got the impression that painters filled them with paint for very small spray jobs. I’ve never tried it, but I might.

Verbo that's not touch up wax stick filler. That's paint and it's bad. Yes they need to replace it.

I would want it changed. Its brush paint put on a sprayed finish, and it will never be smooth and look nice. A good quality painter, should have known, you never brush touch ups on a sprayed finish.

Some cabinets they do not see as issues- including light paint on edges…thoughts on these pictures and if you would accept?

They definitely need to replace the hood. It should never have been touched up with paint. Surprised they don't have a touch up stick. I would ask again. Those last three pics you posted might be ok after touching up with a stick. Hard to know for sure. Everything looks awful that close up, but from a distance it may not be bad after touched up. If you're not happy with them, demand replacements. We inspected our bathroom cabinets before they were installed and found several issues. Some were ok after using the stick, but others were just a bad finish job. It happens. Our cabinet gal insisted on new ones even on a couple that I didn't think were too bad. Did anyone inspect them before installation? Good luck!
