#remodel #kitchen #hacks
Very interesting but I would have love to see the actual process, like a time-lapse.
Exactly
I don’t think he paints anymore because he is too busy just gets trades in to do this as he will still get a great wedge even getting painter in.
I would love to see that too
Right
I'd love to see that too!
NOTICE: The $245 "remodel" is really just the cost of painting the kitchen cabinets, NOT what he spent remodeling the kitchen, which included a new stove, hood, countertops, and flooring. The information on painting is good, but the title is misleading.
but he got your view and comment and that's what this is made to do...
I think the stove and hood as well as flooring may have been donated...pshhh right.
I'd like to know where to pick up some free matching black cabinet and drawer handles as well.
Chairman Mao would love the US Navy color scheme. Painting the hinges, though? Even sailors know "If it doesn't move, paint it. If it does move, salute it." Helpful video, but while bland is equally offensive to everyone, the bright white is a more fashionable color for painted cabinets.
Yep i was looking for this comment
I spent $65 to paint my kitchen cabinets from the 80s, (adding floetrol to my paint for zero brush marks), $15 to paint my window frames black, $5 to paint my backsplash black and my kitchen looks 10x better than a friend who just paid someone $30k for a botched job. Yay me.
Did you use a paintbrush?
That’s why you’re smarter no one will know the difference between a really expensive one vs a cheap but still quality cabinets
@@joshua01 There is a very big difference lol If you can't tell it's because you haven't seen quality, w/o disrespect.
Regardless it's definitely a great idea to paint cabinets, cheapest and way to refresh the look in a kitchen.
@@azdeh1894 yes i agree there are differences in quality and outlook but your guest wouldn’t play detective anyway and it looks amazing still but if you look closely there is of course a noticeable difference up close but if you’re not building a new house or planing to stay painting is a good way to refresh and lengthen the life time of your kitchen in a way that’s friendly to your pocket unless you have Major OCD painting is a really good option
You are brilliant!
I worked in a spray booth for 6 years and we painted old and new cabinets all of the time. Oil prime is a must.
Try DTM latex no primer needed $45 gallon
Yeah buddy
Yes. My cabinets were painted w/cheap latex. I want them strippef and sealed.
I’m most impressed by the stuff we didn’t get to see, like how did Kevin find someone who removed mortar bed tile counter tops without destroying the base cabinets...
Looks like he just put something on top. You can see it from certain angles
Yes
I've done this it is very hard and then has chicken wire under most of the time
@@brianbecerra9735 It can be a pain, but I actually was able to do it myself last year by cutting the tile into manageable sections and literally lifting it off as complete pieces- tile, thin set, mortar, chicken wire, and tar paper.
You’d be surprised by the Mexican contractors in California. They work magic
Every landlord "Ill just paint over everything.... EVERYTHINGGG"
Omg, growing up in rentals this is so frustrating. The paint gets in hinges and nothing seals right and it just looks like crap.
I guess it just makes sense. New hardware is pretty expensive and takes time to put in yourself if you want to keep it affordable
Do no work and just paint over the imperfections
The real cost in painting kitchen cabinets is the labor.
well, if you spend time painting instead of watching TV at night, are you really spending any money?
ding ding ding. That's why this title is stupid.
YES! I would like to hear about how much the labor cost would be to hire a painter to do this project. You could also replace the hinges with the more desirable and updated "soft close" hinges.
Al Bundy covid19 has entered chatroom
@@kkp4297 that's assuming your a lazy sack of crap. I'm not.
245 dollar kitchen remodel or kitchen cabinet remodel???😜
Neither. This was for the paint only.
he spent more like 5,000 total (new floors, new countertops, new appliances)
@@ml5323 my guess is it was more than 5k. More like 7.5 to 10k.
paint + new knobs = kitchen mostly updated.
Kevin is horrible with that, i actually search for another youtubers bc he is always clickbaiting s%^# like that, like, be honest, show how much was everything, how many hours was spent
ex, okay $245 buys the paint, but how bout spray painter? i bet you the one he uses isnt a dolorama spray painter, some places you can still rent, but in here in canada, not everywhere tho
search for Jesse Lane, he is truly honest on spendings, flipping properties etc kevin should learn with him
I just complted some cabinets in a rental with the same brands of paint. I used the shellac based primer instead of oil. Covers perfectly and sticks like crazy. I also used the same urethane Alkyd Behr. Sprayed on. Longer dry time but that lets it flow and it looks creamy smooth when dry. I couldn't bring myself to paint the hinges though. That screams "amature" to me. Hinges were cheap on Amazon and the "puzzle" putting it back together was no big deal and kind of fun and we did 37 doors and lots of drawers. If you get self closing hinges you don't have to install all the clips and extra hardware to keep the doors shut. That time saver makes it worth changing out all the hinges. Also...paint them white as that color will not go out of style like gray is starting to. Don't take offense to this I'm just sharing my experience. Love all your videos Kevin.
Good points! Think you are talking about Zinsser B-I-N.
Curious which hinges you picked up? May be interested in getting some myself. :-)
Whatever you buy be sure and look for "SELF CLOSING"
Paul JAY C Thanks Jay!
If you leave the old hinges on until after painting it's a lot easier. Just change one at a time cutting around the hinge first.
Brilliant - the landlord financials aside, it’s about time us humans stopped just chucking things away - it’s flat out unsustainable. I love these videos. You’re a clever bloke!
So are you!
He made a video about painting kitchen cabinets can you explain how that is clever . He did not even paint them himself ffs !
While I agree with the sentiment, watching this person I don't think this is his intention. Quite the opposite actually.
Oh, you're one of them. I bet you think the polar bears all died off and the ice caps are melting.
@@MAGAMAN my dad lives in alaska the ice caps are melting haha
Thanks for the primer recommendation. I would have like to see how you actually taped everything off and how you sprayed the hole cabinet doors.
I agree.... Your hands are always to clean... Lol. We wants some hard labor videos dammit !!!! Just kidding but foreal....
Follow me on IG to see the dirt
Like today’s story 😳
I'm literally gonna send you pics of before after and during... But I may have to use a brush unfortunately...
Where on if does it show you Kevin doing this house cause I looked and type of countertops in this house did you use?
The nice thing about cabinets made in the 50's is that they were actually built to last. The ones I just removed that were new in the 70's were literally falling apart and could not be saved. Great tips in this video, thanks.
My first house had cabinets almost just like these seen here, went to a cabinet maker and had raised panel doors and drawer fronts made. After I primed and painted them it looked like brand new cabinets. Yall keep that in mind
How much did something like that cost?
We use to resurface bathtubs and counter tops with a spray-on 2-part epoxy paint (no idea what brand, it was purchased wholesale with company branding). While it was nice a durable (and cheap!) to use on tubs and counters, it looked awesome on cabinets. And because it was an epoxy, you really had to try hard to chip or peel the stuff.
General workflow:
1) Remove all the things! Handles, stoves, etc. It it isn't bolted down, then it has to go!
2) Paper and tape to cover everything that you don't want paint on. We used a HVLP sprayer, so paint got everywhere
3) Repairs; Normal bondo to fix chips or gouges, and fiberglass bondo for holes or larger repairs. Sand it down when you are done and hope the texture isn't too bad of a miss-match
4) De-Grease/Sand; We mostly worked in really bad section 8 apartments, so we often had to find the wood under all the grease and grime, and a light sanding just to give a little extra grab, but due to the paints used, we didn't spend more than an hour sanding.
5) Wipe-Down with pint thinner or a damp cloth. Don't want all the dust to prevent stuff from adhearing
6) Primer; We used lots of different primers, but I think mostly Killz? Again greasy apartments... gotta cover thick!
7) Paint; Dust coat, and let partially cure, and then 2 real coats. Between the kilz and epoxy paint, it was pretty rare for any marker or things to bleed through
8) Cleanup; Once it was dry (which took all of 10 minutes) then you pull the paper and tape off. If you put it all on right, this part takes no time at all!
First time doing this took me ~12 hours. After I had done 4-5 of them I had it down to ~6 hours (Paper and tape applicaiton and removal is really the time waster, everything else goes quick), but I was slow, some of the guys had it down to 4 hours and had a better looking product than me! Half a day for new looking cabinates was pretty satisfying... hated that job though. Working in IT is a much better fit for me, but I am glad I know how to do it, because I have done something similar to my house, so that was kinda great.
$245 Kitchen Remodel! (please ignore the $3000 appliances)
Jk, it looks great, and I'm a huge fan of reusing existing cabinetry if it's in good condition.
He mentioned it in the video. He never said those were included in the price.
Yup. A lot of context not monetized.. way too rambly for the minute content value.
In all honesty, 3500ish for a kitchen remodel is amazing.
@@sumeetvanderboo4972 Well, the guy in the video also didn't mention the flooring -- which went from tile to wood, well over a $1k+ job if he removed the tile
@@johnadams421 yeah but thts better than 2k for the kitchen flooring and the kitchen costing u 25k
Love these types of videos Kevin. Keep them coming!
Great job on the remodeling, gorgeous!
I really enjoyed this one! Our daughter just did the same thing to our weathered oak cabinet kitchen! Someone had broken into our home and left a door open which caused wood damage but it was only surface. So much work was created by this but we are doing it ourselves.... We are fixing up our cabin home which has a panoramic open water view...on an island in WA state with no stores or businesses...yep you have to own a boat to live there or take the very limited ferry rides for groceries etc. Its 5.5 nautical miles from Everett. We get everything budget for our home including like new used appliances! Yes we redid our entire kitchen with new paint, a like new dishwasher and spent a whopping $80 for an overhead stainless steel fan/light combo,. Our counters are in good shape so we saved them as is...our kitchen was transformed just like you suggest for so cheap! For now we are using the fridge there but have to repair the flooring below the vinyl before we replace it. I agree with you completely...reuse, repurpose and redesign saving as much as you can!
This is exactly what I needed without knowing I needed it... Thank you and I will be doing exactly so... You should let people send you pics and you tell them what you think they should do....
Matt Lucas could easily charge $50 for answering people’s quick questions
I feel so much more confident in buying my first investment property just because of Kevin’s videos.
Me either
David Thompson Finance That's awesome!
A Conneely always hatin but still least you’re consistent lol
I couldn't agree more. I can't wait to start investing. Thanks Kevin
Meet Kevin lmao what is this guy on
The urethane is what gives the harder finish. The alkyd just means it’s an oil based product. If you’re a Sherwin-Williams shopper the Emerald Trim Urethane is great also. The SW is more of a hybrid. Both products will be a little more shelf leveling that regular acrylic (or latex) products. But the SW’s Emerald is soap and water clean up opposed to paint thinners and mineral spirits! 😁
I bought a house where the previous owners painted the cabinets and they did a crappy job so now I'm going to remove the paint and repaint them. I've painted cabinets before and used a brush with no brush strokes. I also removed the hinges and it looks much better. Agree with primer and paint choices. I will paint white but my counters will be butcher block. Fortunately my appliances are fine.
He did the floor, all new appliances and he removed some of the over heads, everything is prepped and painted so you have to keep in mind with all that' he is just repurposing the kitchen cabinets. For $245 to take those cabinets from old to new is pretty good.
Meet Kevin's Lean approach to real estate. Lean = elimination of waste (waste of money, time, rework ...)
i just demo'd an entire 3 fam , am redoing 3 kitchens, 3 baths, and adding laundry to each unit for 100,000 -- this includes sprinkler systems, fire alarm systems, and an upgrade in panel services... plan is to rent, and sell each for 500k ... sometimes its worth spending the money to open the options up for later down the road imho, especially since you probably will never have that house vacant again to do a serious remodel
I know a lot of people have problems with seeing the grain through the paint, for an extra couple bucks you can buy a wood filler. You just wipe it on with a rag, let it dry then do a light sanding and repeat. It's a little extra work and money but you will never know that it's wood under the paint. In 50 years if old hard wood cabinets become cool again, you just sand it down and you have wood again!
OMG! I just want to run down the street and find this guy. We are putting our place on the market in July. And I was agonizing with my In-laws, about the bathroom/kitchen counter tops plus tubs. I am so thankful my in-laws found this guy. OOOOOOOMMMMMGGGGG! selling your home=stress.
personally i always notice chipped hinges and it massively affects my perception
Primer should never be underestimated. Go with the best primer,you will never be sorry
Awesome! Not just economically friendly but environmentally friendly too!
I'm a professional painter 28 years in the trade.
zinsser cover stain is very good stuff been around longer than me. Wear your mask keep the room ventilated oil base very strong odor.
Cover stain is very thick material.
I thin with paint thinner to achieve the consistency of a normal paint.
Your dishes dont know the difference.
True, man. True.
Spray machine for the paint are always THE best.
We have exactly this setup at our house, but the cabinets are already painted. This video really helped to give us some direction, thanks!
This is great advice! I blame home reno shows. The first thing they always seem to do is to start smashing the kitchen cabinets with a sledge hammer, when 99% of the time there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. Take off the doors, give it all a sand and a coat of paint, put on some fresh hinges and bingo, you've got a new kitchen.
Money very well spent. Looks great!! As long as the cabinet bones are good. No need to replace them. Even if you do pull them. Just paint and put them back up like you did.
Also if you ever need help spending money you should talk to Matt from the build show. Guy loves it. His real remodel has turned into a real demo the entire house and build a new one.
He’s really smart like instead of changing the cabinets he cleans them and fixes them and remodel them and still looks amazing he doesn’t waste money on unnecessary things as long as they look good can last but it doesn’t need to last 20 years and spends money on important things that show the quality of the cabinets like using a better primer

Hey Kevin they just did an article on the person who best your bid for the full house home. She's supposbly going to remodel it herself and is first time home buyer.
I did just this with my first rental property. Cleaned up the old cabinets, primed with the Zinsser, painted with the Benjamin Moore Coventry Gray. Painted the hardware black and it looks a million times better now. Thanks for the videos Kevin.
What's the average cost per gallon for Coventry Gray?
Did you sand & use a sprayer or brush/roller?
Awesome to see how little changes (as $245 is little compared to a whole kitchen) can make a huge difference!
What kind of paint sprayer do you use?
Specifically looking for hideous properties because of this guy! As long as all structural stuff checks out you're good. Don't want to blow up the house so I can reach that foundation with a crack that could flood the whole thing.
When are you going to do a collaboration video with Ben Mallah?!??!?!?!?
Dividend Growth Investing - we have to all combats his channel demanding it! 😂🤣😂
For $145, the cabinet transformation is very impressive. Maybe could've used a light sanding on large flat surfaces. I think leaving the hinges was a great idea since it was a rental. The non-matching cabinet and drawer faces blend very well with originals. Very good video explaining process and thought behind your decisions.
Anything that work's boo boo forevermore sweetness sweet pea Pooh Bear guarding her cub alone!
Like the hustle, not sure how you sleep with so much content and editing :) - great tips, kitchen looks nice.
Kevin, you are an universal mentor!
I got some 90es stile wooden shelving for CDes from the locol thrift store. I want to transform it for a houseplants stand. The " durable " walnut color is little bit too boring for my style. I knew , I will repaint it, but had no idea what paint will lay on surface the best.
And here you're sharing how to paint the cabinets! WOW ! Awesome! I will now use your techniques! Great! Thank you.
PS. Actually I was watching your videos to learn how to flip the old houses.
And than I thought to myself," little savings have, I might loose at all in this times". 😮And you are teaching the stocks also!!!💐💐💐
Now I agree with this of what You done. I just remolded one of My houses apt., the kitchen has old yet solid wood cabinets, not plywood.
I simply painted, changed the handles and replaced the countertops with granite slabs. A handyman "friend" told Me to rip out the cabinets and junk them and get some cheap ass sawdust board cabinets. I'm like yeah right. I I know old hardwood when I see it. He just wanted to get Me to have to pay him more money for the bigger job.
Great video. I really like how you recommended specific paints/primers and the reasons why. Everything like that at Home Depot looks exactly the same to me.
I just want to say I appreciate your channel i feel like all your videos are genuine
Kevin, this is MONEY (literally). And just in time. I’ve got a kitchen remodel coming up on a rental property. Thank you!
Bryce Matheson Awesome!
I hope you do a timelapse for a low-budget kitchen reno next time! It will be so helpful to see the spray-painting process and all your other tips being performed! Great and informative video nonetheless, thank you!😊
You showed me the specific products you used and talked about your experience with them. It felt like getting real talk from a friend who has done this before and is trying to help. Right there you surpass every single DIY show ever. You got the sub. Loved this video.
Nice! Might be the way I go... And I agree with the whole hinges thing. For myself I think I would remove and install them after the paint job was done. Preference ! Love your spin on this! Thank you
This is insane. I slapped myself after seeing this because I spent a ton more on remodeling the kitchen for the rental apartment. To my defense, I was not part of the course when I did that. :D
@Donald Trump I know, I watched till the end, but it still made the kitchen look 10x better. I could not do what he did because I was lacking the kitchen in its entirety. But on doors, I might have been able to pull something similar and avoid spending $750 on 3 doors.
@Donald Trump Don't get me wrong, I am extremely happy with how the remodel turned out even though I overspent. But it doesn't even pale to the Trump tower kitchens (pun intended).
@@alexandruulici-buyingfreed9118 Sorry to say, but he didn't pay his contractors so you can't really compare on pricing lol.
The message in this video is good. The kitchen looks good on video at a distance, but the hing3s make it look cheap. So,I guess, on a cheap rental, this is a good strategy because it looks 100x’s better than the original. But, honest costs should include the labor to paint... which had to be $300-500 for a painter... and you have $100 in cabinets pulls alone. So, new appliances aside...this is probably more like a $850-900 cabinet job. Regardless, another great instructional vid! Thanks Kevin.
DreamHomesParkCity if he did it himself, would you want him to include the labor costs?
Kevin - is there a specific model of paint sprayer you use and recommend?
Use greco
Being blunt, not usually a fan of your videos but still like being subscribed for the information/what you're doing/etc. They're usually good (not to say they are bad)...just the delivery is not something I'm a fan of usually. However this video was great and highly enjoyed it. It was direct, you offered lots of great insight into an issue a lot of people have and make mistakes with. I learned a lot and will be saving this video for future reference.
This is awesome! Ive watched your past video about the kitchen at-least 5 times because I just bought my first investment property and will be renovating the kitchen in the next couple of weeks. Excited to watch this one, Thanks Kevin!
The value in this video is off the charts! I took the first step of calling a realtor today, something i’ve been nervous to do for so long now. But it went really well!! i’m really excited to start the process of buying my first rental. Still trying to get approved for a loan though, it’s taking awhile since i’m a student smh 🤧 but one step at a time. thank you so much kevin!
Good stuff Kevin. This was more like a Cabinet remodel for $245 though. I think you forgot the replacement hardware as well. If you wanted to cal it a kitchen remodel, add in the counters, floors, new 18” cabinet, hood, range, microwave, custom drawer under microwave, faucet, etc.
Thanks to this video I was able to paint my cabinet and paint spray my cabinet doors. I did find that zinser stain to be hard to paint the cabinet frame with, it felt like I was painting with Elmers glue, plus the fumes it gave off was really bad.
Keep in mind for water damage especially with older cabinets where the sink is in the corner. There are 2 main reasons for renovating cabinets, damage and appeal. If you just want to switch some things up and update this is amazing. Just make sure there’s no damage to cabinets and again make sure the sink isn’t in a corner.
We always took the doors off and changed the hinges with the hardware it's really not that difficult he's right sometimes the doors don't fit right but that's what you're there for technically is just a wooden box on the wall a lot of these people get caught up in the same bull crap and watching these do-it-yourself shows and they buy cheap crap for thousands of dollars nothing beats a good wooden box
your videos are so amazing, all the recommendations are top notch and i love the the fact that even for a low cost tactic, your providing high quality options, well versed in the methods, and just a really smart, cool host. this is really one of the best home prep and repair channels. Great job. looking forward to the rest of the episodes. I did wish there were a few minutes of the spraying shown, so we could get an idea of the process, by the way, the tips on safety is really awesome. 🙌🙌🙌
Tbh it would be $6245 with that stone benchtop and Brand new appliances, although he did do a great job on the cabinets for $245. I would have done a laminate benchtop for $600 same colour as the stone to give it that look, and saved $4000
Last time I did this I did not use a primer.... had to start over, sand, Killz, quality paint, looks great now
Usually you say $1 invested in a property,
Increase the value of the property by $2
Well here it's more like $1 investment, $5+ return
The 23 people that disliked this video also spent 25k+ on a new kitchen.
Lmao thats what i was thinking right now😂🤣
Jack Heinemann haha got them
😂😂
Or maybe waited 15 minutes for him to say you can’t include the cost of a new sink, microwave, or range in the remodel
@@sarahann530 haha, I live in a very nice place thank you. This kitchen in the video looks fine to me, I would happily live there.
I refaced every cabinet in my 2400sq house, new doors, hinges, and painted. Well over 100 doors. I spent approximately 3k. They look as good as any new cabinetry in new construction. If i created a title saying 'new cabinetry for 3k', would that scream BS? Yuuuupppppp. It's all about the labor.
I remodeled a kitchen total cost $37.68 I did all labor myself even sewed a yard sale piece of fabric into kitchen curtains. Piece of cake thrifty is my life.
@Taylor no duct tape involved just a thrifty shopper used cabinets and counters, donated paint and thrift store light fixtures.
Great content! Have you considered doing a video of the actual process? I know this isn't a DIY channel, but I think a lot of people would love that. Nothing super detailed, just some footage of the process and maybe talking to the contractor doing it.
run paint thinner through your sprayer then follow with water after the paint is all out. With a good enough primer most times you don't have to sand wood.
2021 watching old videos !
These videos are awesome bc it is a real life project and there is a solution to it...the products n cost etc. ty!
Cheap looks like cheap. I've always said that the tenant you get will look like house you have. "Nobody will notice", "Who cares", etc are phrases that will get you bypassed by quality tenants leaving you with the dregs and their associated problems.
I spent about 5K for my IKEA Kitchen. Lovely kitchen. But I would easily done it this way as well, but the old kitchen was not literally falling apart with missing cabinets etc.
The difference between the paints is that the added urethane bonds into the wood like a furniture stain. The other paint is for more porous surfaces like drywall that readily accepts the paint.
Nice video! We want to see Kevin using the Air-less paint sprayer. 28 year old real estate investor putting in the sweat equity!!!
I think he owns his own construction business so I doubt he does the elbow grease he probably oversees and helps a little when he can.
This got my thumbs up at about 10:20 when you discussed safety.
What a transformation.
I'm so glad I found your channel! Thank you so much for all this useful information. ❤
I would like to add... New floors, new gas line, demolition, new blinds, appliance disposal
Amazing how some paint chabged the appliances as well
Do you sand the cabinets? I completely redid my own kitchen. Had a couple of quotes for $5,000 to complete it. Did it myself (took 3 weeks only working evenings and around the kids), and we spent a little extra on new pulls. $500 total spent, but a 10x ROI and a HUGE difference in the type of kitchen it became.
Fantastic tip. Thank you, Kevin!
We need more videos like this. Perhaps a series going through cheap alternatives for each room.
Really great advice here Kevin. And many of the older cabinets are actually better made and solid wood. +10 on not removing hinges. Once you remove hinges, you have to get the door alignment right, and as you mentioned, remember the right door for the right cabinet. A lot more work. So the hinges get painted too. BFD!
Add flat trim to the cab' doors shaker style, new hinges. But great job as is .
This is great information, thank you!!
Kevin...
What Vinyl flooring do you use in your rental
Shade, Brand and Model.
What us the most current and popular tre ds?
White Oak?
Absolute gold.
Lol this guy reminds me of my dad. How can everything be fixed cheap and quickly lol. I’d never buy one of his homes due his lack of caring lol. I sent this to my dad tho because he’s right up his alley lol. Paint on the henges matters to me. 🤷🏼♀️
You can also try gel stain on old cabinets. Its awesome!
yep, used it too
@@DRoper-bl6tl easy to use too!
These videos on saving money with renovations are amazing! Thank you!
You should sand the cabinets so it's a smoother finish. It's gonna take more time. But the end result will look even better.
You sprayed it without moving the doors?
Terrible, those hinges look horrid and the paint will peel from them
@@wilhallman2890 I would have removed the hinges and just cleaned and polished them. I love the look of metal hinges against painted cabinets, gives a great contrast.
@@wilhallman2890 Yeah, at 7:55 you can even notice a piece peels offs and drops.
Kevin explains this in the video @ the 6:30 mark. You can do whatever suites your needs/desires. Kevin is paying labor to have this done. I would assume labor on something like this would run $60-80 hr in his area. So he kept $1000-1400 kept in his pocket by half a** it. His choice.
Kevin what kind of airless sprayer do you use??
