I fully expect that you may have questions.
Here are answers to the most common FAQs:
How is this course delivered? What is the structure? +
Once you pay for the course, you’ll receive an invite to join the private Facebook community. The group is structured for an online course and the individual modules will be delivered there. All course materials will be available in the group but will also be emailed to you as well. The first module will be released on April 15th, and we will release a new module every 3-4 days. At the release of every module, Casey will be doing an hour-long Facebook live to interact with the group, answer questions, and cheer you on! You’ll also have ample opportunity to comment on posts, interact with other course participants and share your successes. Once the course is completed, the group will be archived and you will continue to have access to the materials.
Will I need to purchase supplies? +
Yes. This is a home improvement project and like any project, you will need the tools and materials to complete it well. This course will tell you exactly what to buy though, so you won’t be wasting money on multiple failed attempts at figuring out the best options. Everyone will likely come into this course with a different supply of tools/materials on hand but the average person can expect to spend an additional $500-$600 on tools and materials (inclusive of paint). Keep in mind that the approach in this course is to do this RIGHT. I’m not trying to give you cheap DIY shortcuts here. I do this professionally and I’m teaching YOU to do this how I do this. I want you to finish this project with new cabinets that look like they were painted by a professional (YOU!)
Can’t I learn to do this on my own? +
Maybe? Probably? I’ll tell you that I’ve been painting cabinets for over a decade and I’m creating the course that I wish had been available when I started. I’ve read blog posts, watched You Tube videos and articles. I’ve never found a good resource that gave a complete picture of design, materials, and methods. That’s what I’ve put together for you here. Also, I truly believe that when people pay, they pay attention. So, investing in a course to learn from me will give you the incentive you need to prove to yourself (and maybe to your spouse - LOL) that the investment was worth it! And I promise you, it’s worth it!
What if I purchase the course and am not able to complete the project now? +
This is a real concern, I understand. I’m giving you the tools and methods you will need to complete this project when you’re ready. That may be now and it may be later this year. Even if you’re not prepared to undertake this project now, you can still learn the methods and implement when you’re ready.
Do you offer refunds? +
We are not offering refunds for the course at this time.
How long should this project take? +
This course will be delivered over the course of about 3 weeks. This will allow you to have the support you need over the length of your entire project. You should be able to complete your cabinet painting project within that span of time!
What type of space do I need to complete this project? +
My approach to cabinet painting involved spraying the cabinet faces. Ideally, you want to have either an unfinished basement, barn, shed or a garage where you can spray. If you don’t have any of these available to you, you could block off a room in your home with plastic and use that as a spray booth. I DO NOT recommend spraying cabinets outside. The dust, pollen, bugs, etc. out there will destroy your paint finish!
Will I be able to use my kitchen during this process? +
YES! My method for cabinet painting involves spraying the faces but brushing and rolling the boxes. So, while there’s a lot of prep work in the kitchen that needs to be done (including sanding which equals some dust) you do NOT need to empty out your cabinets or drawers (unless your drawer fronts don’t come off which is a definite possibility). 100% of my clients continue to use their kitchens to some degree during this project.
How will I know the best color for my cabinets? +
If you sign up with the Early Bird Pricing option, you’ll get several bonuses including a selection of my favorite cabinet colors. These are ones that I’ve used again and again in multiple projects and LOVE. If you sign up for the VIP option, we will go deeper to do one on one consultations to evaluate your home and your finishes and I’ll personally help you to pick the color that will work best!
Does paint chip? +
This is one of the most commonly asked questions I get from clients. The answer is longer than just Yes or No, because of course paint chips. A cabinet made out of ANY material will get damaged. Wood is susceptible to water damage, scratching, dents, etc. Laminate can peel, scratch, or bubble over time. I see it ALL THE TIME. The trouble is, those materials typically can’t be repaired easily. With wood, you can usually find a stain pen to touch up cabinets but it’s never a 100% match. When you paint your cabinets, you will know the color and have touch up paint on hand. The key to this process is doing it right the first time so that the finish stands up to wear and tear. The materials I will teach you to use result in a hard, durable surface that stands up to every day use with kids, pets, and regular cleaning. However, if your kid inflicts some blunt force trauma with a giant fire truck toy, yeah, you might get a scratch. That would be true of any material though. I’ll make sure you know how to touch up any damage.
