Smart Scheduling Hacks: Booking Pro Painters for Cabinets Before the Thanksgiving Rush

Every November, people rush to get their homes ready for Thanksgiving; cleaning, remodeling, and painting are musts. In particular, having kitchen cabinets painted is a crucial part of Thanksgiving renovations. Time is short and demand is high. With that in mind, here are some brilliant scheduling hacks: booking pro painters for cabinets before the Thanksgiving rush.

Having Your Cabinets Painted Before Thanksgiving is Unlikely with Other Painters

The math is unforgiving. A typical kitchen cabinet project—removing doors and drawers, degreasing decades of splatters, sanding, priming, two coats of enamel, and reinstalling hardware—takes three to five days in a 150-square-foot kitchen. Add ornate moldings, 1980s oak in need of grain filler, or a homeowner who wants every spindle hand-brushed, and the timeline stretches to seven. Even with extra crews, no reputable painter can squeeze a quality job into the week before Turkey Day if the slot isn’t already reserved.

The solution is simple: schedule with Franklin Painting now. We will secure a November date with a modest deposit and adjust later if your plans shift. One phone call now beats frantic texts in mid-November, when the only openings are in December.

Demand peaks for two reasons. First, the window to have home exteriors painted slams shut with the first frost, making indoor painting the only option. Second, no one wants guests opening a chipped cabinet while hunting for plates and cups. The resulting rush to have cabinets painted causes a bottleneck every fall.

But you could play a longer game. January through March remains the industry’s quiet season. Schedules loosen, prices dip—some painters will knock ten to fifteen percent off to keep crews busy—and you avoid the chaos entirely. Your cabinets still look flawless for Easter brunch, and the painters appreciate the steady work you’ve done throughout the winter.

Tips for Before Your Cabinets Are Painted

• Empty everything two days early. One forgotten stand mixer can derail the schedule.
• We use fast-drying, cabinet-grade paints. They cure faster, letting you reload shelves before the relatives arrive.
• Plan for curing time. Even fast-dry formulas need 48 hours before you can pile in the good china.

Thanksgiving will arrive whether the cabinets are refurbished or not. But with a single proactive call—placed this week—you can serve pumpkin pie against freshly painted doors, sidestep the scramble, and let your guests compliment the kitchen instead of the turkey. So, act now for a stress-free Thanksgiving cabinet refurbishment with a fresh coat of paint; you will be glad you did.
