kitchen cabinets disapoint

Below you will find my original review which I have now revised down. I think WOW is very good on the ceiling painting front but I would not recommend them for kitchen cabinets. The paint looked good until it started coming off. While I was told to wait 24 hours before rehanging the cabinet doors I decided to wait 48 hours to ensure it had time to cure. This made no difference. Paint started flaking off from the very beginning and even a week later it was still coming off. I spoke to Sherwin Williams (who supplied the paint) who told us that the main reasons that might happen is if the primer was not given enough time to cure, if the paint went on too thick or it was insufficiently sanded beforehand.

I felt the workers worked very hard but I'm not confident that their model of doing cabinets in a few days is appropriate. In fact, one the workers contacted me shortly after they left and asked if everything was OK and whether the cabinets were sticking to the painters paper they were resting on. (They were!) The painter came a few days later and touched everything up.

Unfortunately the paint continued to flake/scratch off. I have not contacted WOW about this and to be fair to them, I have not given them a second chance to make things right. That’s because my timeline is tight, and to be frank, I assumed I would get the runaround and that you get what you pay for (WOW was the cheapest by far). I’ve since decided to go the spray paint route.

Lastly I should add that I was informed by the company that giving a 10/10 review would result in a bonus for the crew. I liked the crew so perhaps I gushed little more enthusiastically than I might otherwise have.

Original Review:
I was extrely impressed with the work done ny Steph and his team. Steph hand painted our kitchen cabinets and drawers and did a fantastic job. Both Steph and his team were meticulous, organised, and clean and were a pleasure to have around. I would recomend them without reservation .

Approximate cost of services:
$2,000.00
