Bring Detail and Definition Back to Your Rooms

Cabinet and trim painting services for kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces in Peosta, Dubuque, and all surrounding areas.

Worn trim and outdated cabinets can make an otherwise clean home feel tired and dated. When baseboards show scuffs, door casings lose their finish, or kitchen cabinets no longer match your style, repainting these surfaces brings back contrast and definition. Trim and cabinetry take more wear than walls, so they often need refinishing long before the rest of the room.

Delaney Painting cleans, sands, and primes each surface to ensure lasting adhesion. We apply smooth, professional-grade coatings using brushes and rollers suited to detail work. Whether you are updating baseboards, window trim, doors, or full cabinet sets, the result is a cleaner, more finished look that pairs well with wall paint or stands on its own.

If you are ready to refresh your trim or cabinets in Peosta, Dubuque, and all surrounding areas, contact us to discuss your project.

How We Prepare and Coat Each Surface

We start by removing hardware, cleaning all surfaces, and sanding to remove old finishes and create a smooth base. Primer is applied to improve adhesion, especially on cabinets that have been previously painted or stained. We use oil or water-based coatings depending on the application, traffic level, and your preference in Peosta, Dubuque, and all surrounding areas. 

After the work is finished, you will notice sharp, clean edges along baseboards and casings, cabinets that look uniform and modern, and a finish that resists chipping and daily contact better than the original coating. The room feels more cohesive and intentional.

We mask adjoining walls and floors to protect them from overspray or drips. Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are often removed and painted off-site for a smoother finish. We do not paint over damaged wood or loose joints, and we will point out any repairs needed before starting.

What homeowners in Peosta, Dubuque, and the surrounding areas typically ask us

Before scheduling cabinet or trim painting, homeowners usually want to know about timing, disruption, and how long the finish will last. These are the questions we answer most often.

How long does cabinet painting take?

Most kitchens in are completed in eight to ten days, including drying time. Bathrooms and smaller projects take less time, while large built-ins may take longer depending on the number of doors and surfaces.

Can I still use my kitchen during the project?
You will have limited access while doors and drawer fronts are removed and drying. We work in stages to minimize disruption, and we reinstall hardware and components as soon as they are fully cured.
What is the difference between oil-based and water-based paint?
Oil-based coatings dry harder and are more durable, but they take longer to cure and have stronger odors. Water-based paints dry faster, have less odor, and still provide a strong, smooth finish for most applications.
Will the finish hold up to daily use?
Yes. We use professional-grade coatings designed for cabinetry and trim. Once fully cured, the finish resists scuffs, moisture, and cleaning better than standard wall paint.
Can you paint baseboards and trim without repainting the walls?
Yes. We mask and protect walls carefully so trim can be refreshed on its own. This works well when your walls are still in good condition but your trim shows wear.
