Painting Companies, separate wall coating from cabinet finishing.
A homeowner may ask one painting contractor to cover walls, trim, cabinets, and specialty surfaces even though the preparation, finish system, handling, and work sequence differ. Start with the surfaces your company owns and the cabinet request outside that lane.
Talk about partneringProtect both trades with a precise surface boundary.
The client should understand who evaluates cabinets, who owns walls and trim, where masking and protection meet, and how color decisions are coordinated. We do not publish referral fees, discounts, credit terms, volume rates, turnaround promises, or white-label arrangements as universal offers.
Painted does not mean prepared the same way.
Cabinet doors, face frames, boxes, trim, walls, and millwork carry different handling, access, substrate, finish, and cure considerations that should not be combined casually.
Give cabinet work its own review.
ColorUp can evaluate cabinet painting, staining, refacing, hardware, or related needs while the painting company retains its clearly defined wall, ceiling, or trim scope.
Put business terms in writing.
Pricing, payment timing, referrals, discounts, documentation, warranty, and any white-label arrangement apply only when included in the current written agreement.
From surface list to coordinated trade scopes.
List the surfaces and current assignments
Share room photos, the homeowner request, surfaces your team owns, cabinet surfaces being referred, color context, site stage, and contact path.
Review preparation and sequence interfaces
We identify cabinet condition, access, protection, wall or trim timing, color dependencies, and the boundaries that need client confirmation.
Present two scopes without confusion
We agree who introduces each trade, coordinates colors and dates, communicates exclusions, handles changes, and closes out its own work.
Confirm terms in writing
Any referral, subcontract, trade, invoicing, documentation, or white-label terms must be accepted in writing before they apply.
Have a cabinet request outside your painting lane?
Send the room, assigned surfaces, cabinet condition, client contact path, and the sequence already discussed. We’ll review the fit and continue the conversation without assuming terms that have not been agreed.
Define the cabinet finishing boundary
Share the cabinet substrate, existing coating, and intended wall-paint schedule. Clarify who handles masking, repairs, hardware removal, and final adjustments so the two scopes meet cleanly.
