Paint/Stain Grade Shaker Cabinet Doors

Shaker cabinet doors that you can paint

A lot of homeowners asking me quite often, how can I remodeled the look of my kitchen cabinets and do it very affordably and still maintain a contemporary look? Well one of the simplest methods of achieving a contemporary look in doing it very affordably is to go with a shaker style kitchen cabinet door and simply paint it. As a homeowner you will have several options when purchasing custom shaker cabinet doors for your kitchen remodeling project.

The ultra-low-cost method is to purchase a shaker cabinet door that has a wood frame and an affordable MDF center panel and tackle the painting yourself. The other option is to purchase your shaker doors already painted. Acme cabinet doors offers several options unfinished, painted, and primed. Purchasing your shaker cabinet doors already primed will save you considerable amount of time and prep work this is a good option for some homeowners.

During a lot of my kitchen remodeling projects we would order our shaker cabinet doors already painted which made for the quickest installation. For projects like that all we would have to do is simply paint the cabinet boxes and attach the new doors. In just about all of these applications we had the cabinet door hinges pre-bored as well as installed brand-new hinges. For contractors and handymen the prepainted option seems to be the fastest way to go.

But some homeowners like to save the extra money and don’t mind spending a day or two priming and painting their brand-new shaker cabinet doors. By doing it this way you will save the maximum amount of money as well as you can take as much time as you need to complete the project.

There shaker style cabinet door has a very contemporary look and due to its popularity and widespread usage it does not seem to be going away anytime soon. I have predicted that this look will be around for quite some time. It is a bit more intricate over a plain slab cabinet door and has a very modern feel with the right hardware combination.

So whether you choose an unfinished shaker cabinet door or one that’s prepainted you will have to take a bit of time to find out which type of cabinet door will work for your application. With either option you can be rest assured that you will be saving a tremendous amount of money over having to hire a kitchen refacing company or a contractor to do the work.
