Cabinet painting

Cabinet painting is a budget-friendly way to change the entire feel of your kitchen or bathroom without the expense and hassle of tearing out and replacing cabinetry. Most homeowners call us because their cabinets are structurally sound but look dated, worn, or simply don't match the style they want. The finish is failing, the color feels wrong, or the surfaces have become sticky or dull from years of grease and daily use. You want a fresh look, but you don't want to lose your cabinets or your sanity to a full remodel.

The job starts with removing all doors, drawers, and hardware. We label every piece so it goes back exactly where it came from. We clean every surface with a degreaser to remove cooking oils and grime. Then we sand the existing finish to give the new paint a mechanical bond. After sanding, we wipe everything down to remove dust and apply a bonding primer. For the doors and drawer fronts, we spray them with a paint sprayer to get that smooth, factory-like finish. The cabinet boxes we brush and roll with a high-quality cabinet paint. Each coat dries, and we sand lightly between coats for a flawless result.

The time and cost of a cabinet painting job depend on several factors. The number of cabinets and drawers is the biggest driver, a small powder room is different from a large kitchen with a pantry and island. The condition of the existing finish matters: a previously painted surface that's peeling needs more prep than a factory lacquer that's just dated. The type of paint you choose also makes a difference, a higher-end urethane or alkyd enamel costs more but wears harder. Access plays a role too; if the crew has to navigate tight corners or a long walk from the truck, that adds time. The amount of detail work, like glass doors or ornate molding, also increases the labor.

On the day the crew arrives, they come prepared with drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and tape. We protect your floors, countertops, and appliances before we start. We work in a dust-controlled manner, but you should remove fragile items from countertops and clear the area in front of your cabinets. Plan to keep pets and kids out of the work zone while we're spraying. After we finish, we clean up thoroughly, no paint drips, no dust, no hardware left behind. You'll need to wait for the paint to fully cure before putting things back, and we'll tell you how long that is. Then you can load your cabinets and enjoy your refreshed space.

We spray the doors and drawer fronts for a smooth, factory-like finish, and brush or roll the cabinet boxes. We let each coat dry thoroughly and sand between coats. The result is a durable finish that resists chips and scratches, even in a busy kitchen.

The cost depends on the number of cabinets, the condition of the existing finish, and the type of paint you choose. We give you a firm estimate before we start. You'll be amazed at what a difference fresh cabinets make to your whole kitchen.
