Ian Jacob Rose documented a precise three-day process for his Cleveland kitchen. On day one, the crew "carefully removed all of my kitchen cabinet doors and took them offsite to be sanded and painted." Day two involved taping off the kitchen and painting cabinet framing onsite. Day three, doors were reinstalled with the new finish. Emily Strauss confirmed this approach in Avon, noting Dakota handled "prepping and taking all the doors and drawers off to installing when finished."
