What we do

Kitchen cabinet painting & refinishing services

Dated oak or worn finishes don't mean you need new cabinets. If the boxes and doors are solid, a professional paint job can completely change the look of your kitchen, like the oak-to-white kitchen shown on this page.

Cabinet painting is detail work, and the prep makes the difference. We clean and degrease the surfaces, sand them so the new coating bonds properly, and prime before applying the finish for a smooth, even result.

Beyond kitchens, we also paint built-ins, shelving and paneled or millwork feature walls. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll walk you through the options and give you a written quote.

FAQ

Common questions about cabinet painting & refinishing

Is painting kitchen cabinets cheaper than replacing them?

In most cases, yes. Painting keeps your existing cabinet boxes and doors, so it typically costs a fraction of new cabinets. We'll give you a written quote for your kitchen.

Can you paint oak cabinets white?

Yes. With the right cleaning, sanding and priming, oak and other wood cabinets can be painted white or any other color — see the before-and-after on this page.

How long does a cabinet painting project take?

It depends on the size of the kitchen and the number of doors and drawers. We'll give you a timeline together with your estimate.

Do you paint built-ins and bathroom vanities too?

We paint built-ins, shelving and paneled walls. For other pieces, send us a photo or text us and we'll let you know.
