Benefits of Cabinet Painting
Cost-Effective Cabinet Upgrade
Cabinet painting offers a transformative upgrade without the high cost of full replacement or custom refacing. Homeowners can refresh the look of their kitchen or bathroom while preserving existing cabinet structures. This solution provides exceptional visual improvement and value, allowing budget-conscious renovations without sacrificing style, durability, or impact in the most used rooms of the home.
Faster Turnaround Time
Compared to replacing or fully refacing cabinets, painting requires significantly less time. Most cabinet painting projects are completed in just a few days, minimizing disruption to your home life. There’s no need for extensive demolition or long wait times, making this service a convenient solution for quick, efficient transformations during remodeling or pre-sale preparation.
Custom Color Matching
With cabinet painting, you gain full control over the look and feel of your space. We offer a wide spectrum of colors, from timeless neutrals to bold modern tones. Whether you're matching countertops and floors or designing a completely new palette, our custom color options allow for tailored finishes that bring your vision to life.
Environmentally Friendly Solution
Painting your existing cabinets supports sustainable remodeling by preserving the current materials and reducing landfill waste. Instead of tearing out and discarding functional cabinets, we renew what’s already in place. This eco-conscious approach not only benefits the environment but also lowers material costs while achieving a like-new appearance with a smaller environmental footprint.
Enhanced Property Appeal
Freshly painted cabinets make a strong visual impression in kitchens and bathrooms—two areas that heavily influence buyer decisions. Updated cabinet finishes can help your home stand out when selling or renting, offering a move-in-ready appearance. The clean, modernized look increases perceived value and can lead to quicker sales or higher rental interest.
Long-Lasting Results
Our painting process includes thorough prep, professional application, and premium finishes that resist wear, moisture, and peeling. When maintained properly, painted cabinets can look beautiful for many years. The durable coatings offer long-term appeal while protecting against the everyday stress of cooking, cleaning, and high-touch use, keeping your space fresh and vibrant.
Cabinet Painting Services We Offer
Kitchen Cabinet Painting
We paint kitchen cabinet doors, drawer fronts, frames, and trim using professional-grade, stain-resistant coatings. Our precise methods and quality materials create a cohesive and updated appearance that complements your kitchen’s existing features, including countertops, backsplashes, and appliances. The result is a polished, refreshed kitchen space with enhanced durability and long-term color retention.
Bathroom Cabinet Painting
Our bathroom cabinet painting includes vanities, medicine cabinets, and wall-mounted storage. We use moisture-resistant paints designed to withstand the humidity and wear common in bathrooms. The result is a smooth, lasting finish that resists chipping, bubbling, and discoloration, helping maintain a fresh, clean aesthetic in one of the home’s most used spaces.
Custom Color Consultation
Our custom color consultation ensures your chosen finish fits your space perfectly. We consider lighting, room size, surrounding materials, and design trends to help you find the ideal color. Whether you're after timeless whites, dramatic contrasts, or calming neutrals, we provide expert guidance to achieve a personalized look that enhances your entire room.
Cabinet Surface Preparation and Priming
Proper preparation is the key to a flawless, long-lasting finish. We clean, degrease, sand, and prime every surface before painting. This thorough process promotes strong adhesion and helps eliminate imperfections. By starting with a smooth foundation, we ensure your final coat looks professional and holds up against daily use, moisture, and environmental changes.
Spray and Brush Finish Options
We offer both spray and hand-brushed paint application methods based on your needs and preferences. Spray finishes provide an ultra-smooth, factory-like appearance with minimal texture, while brush applications offer a classic, hands-on look. Both techniques result in crisp lines and even coverage, giving you flexibility in achieving your preferred cabinet style.
Touch-Up and Maintenance Services
To keep your cabinets looking fresh long after the initial paint job, we provide ongoing touch-up and maintenance solutions. These services include correcting scratches, reapplying protective topcoats, and refinishing worn areas. Regular maintenance ensures your painted cabinets maintain their beauty and performance, extending the life of your investment and preserving their showroom-quality finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does cabinet painting typically take?
Most cabinet painting projects are completed within 3 to 5 days depending on kitchen size, surface condition, and drying time. Our process is efficient and structured to minimize disruption while maintaining professional standards throughout the entire project.
Can I use my kitchen during the painting process?
Limited access to your kitchen may be available, but we recommend planning for a temporary disruption. Our team protects all surrounding areas, but drying and curing periods require time to ensure a durable, flawless finish with no premature handling.
What types of paint are used for cabinets?
We use high-quality, durable cabinet-grade paints specifically formulated for wood and composite materials. These products resist chipping, moisture, and daily wear while delivering smooth, long-lasting finishes tailored to match your design goals and cabinetry material.
Will the new paint cover existing stains or damage?
Our preparation process includes deep cleaning, sanding, and priming to ensure coverage over most stains and imperfections. However, deep structural damage may require repair before painting. We address all issues during the initial consultation and evaluation process.
Do I need to remove the cabinet doors?
Yes, removing cabinet doors and drawers is part of our standard process to ensure even, professional coverage. This allows for cleaner edges, smoother finishes, and better paint adhesion across all cabinet surfaces inside and out.
How long will the cabinet paint job last?
With proper maintenance, professionally painted cabinets can maintain their finish for 8–10 years. Regular cleaning and avoiding abrasive products will help prolong their beauty, making this a long-lasting investment for your home’s kitchen or bathroom.
Is cabinet painting more affordable than replacement?
Yes, cabinet painting is significantly more cost-effective than full replacement. It offers a refreshed, modern look without the expense of tearing out or rebuilding cabinetry, making it a smart choice for aesthetic upgrades on a controlled budget.

I've moved countless times in the last 25 years and these were by far the best movers ever! They worked efficiently, with care and a sense of humor (which is really important because moving isn't fun). The team (Dom, Morgan & Darryl) went over and above in every way. We will definitely be looking them up for our next move!
