Cabinet painting that looks factory-finished
Doors and drawers sprayed in our shop, boxes sprayed in place. A new kitchen for a fraction of replacement.
Painted cabinets fail for two reasons: the old finish wasn't degreased and sanded, or the paint was brushed on. We take the doors and drawer fronts to our shop, clean and scuff every surface, prime with a bonding primer, and spray a catalyzed cabinet enamel that cures hard. Boxes are masked and sprayed in your kitchen. The result is smooth, durable, and holds up to years of hands and dishwashers.

Common questions
How much does cabinet painting cost?
Most kitchens run $3,500 to $7,500 depending on door count and condition. That's usually a fifth of the cost of new cabinets and about half the cost of refacing.
Can you paint oak or laminate cabinets?
Oak yes, with grain filler if you want a smooth look. Laminate and thermofoil we assess in person; some can be painted with the right primer and some can't hold paint long-term.
How long before we can use the kitchen?
You keep your kitchen through the job; the doors are off site. Once they're back, give the finish a week to fully cure before heavy use.
What colors hold up best?
Whites and light neutrals hide wear best. Dark colors look great but show chips sooner on high-traffic doors.
