Experienced Painters, Amazing Results

Medias Painting LLC recently completed a 3-day residential kitchen cabinet painting project in the Embrey Mill neighborhood of Stafford, VA. The home was a 4,000-square-foot property valued at $850,000, and the project involved transforming the kitchen space into a brighter, more modern area through a complete cabinet repaint.

The scope of work included painting 35 cabinet doors, 16 panels, and 12 drawers, all of which were carefully sprayed for a flawless finish. Every door and drawer was dried using specialized hangers to ensure durability and smooth results. The cabinetry was finished in Sherwin Williams Extra White SW 7006, while the island received a striking custom treatment in Tricorn Black SW 6258 for a bold, modern contrast.

In addition to the cabinets, the project covered ceiling, walls, trim, and doors, giving the kitchen a polished, cohesive look. The total investment for this kitchen remodel was $8,500, and it was completed on time with no disruptions to the homeowner’s daily routine.

Background Story

The homeowner, Shirley S., had grown frustrated with her outdated kitchen. Although her home was spacious and well-designed, the dark, worn cabinetry made the heart of her home feel tired and uninspiring. She wanted a fresh, timeless design without undergoing the mess, expense, and inconvenience of a full kitchen tear-out.

After researching local contractors, Shirley chose Medias Painting LLC because of our five-star reviews on Google, reasonable pricing, and the flexible financing options we offered. She wanted to feel confident that her investment would enhance both her daily living and her home’s overall value.

From our first meeting, we focused on listening to Shirley’s goals. She wanted a clean white backdrop to brighten the room, paired with a bold, custom-painted island to serve as the centerpiece. She also emphasized the importance of a long-lasting finish that could stand up to daily use. With those priorities in mind, we recommended the Renner system for strength and Sherwin-Williams colors for timeless appeal. Throughout the project, we worked quickly, carefully, and respectfully in her home, ensuring her experience was stress-free from start to finish.
