Cabinet Painting and Cabinet Refinishing for Kitchens, Bathrooms, and Built-Ins

When homeowners search for cabinet painters near me or cabinet repainting, they usually want two things: a factory-smooth look and a finish that doesn’t chip or peel after a few months. We focus on the steps that matter—thorough cleaning, sanding, bonding primers, and a coating system built for high-touch surfaces.

Cabinet painting projects we commonly complete

  • Kitchen cabinet painting (uppers, lowers, islands)

  • Bathroom vanity painting and built-in linen cabinets

  • Built-in cabinet repainting (shelving and bookcases)

  • Pantry and laundry room cabinet repainting

  • Mudroom cubbies and storage systems (when applicable)

Cabinet surfaces and materials we work with

  • Previously painted cabinets (cabinet repainting)

  • Wood cabinets (paint-grade or stain-grade evaluation)

  • MDF and manufactured cabinet doors (when appropriate)

  • Interior cabinet boxes and face frames (as scoped)

  • Cabinet doors and drawer fronts (most common focus)

Prep-First Cabinet Painting That Improves Adhesion and Prevents Peeling

Cabinet finishes fail when prep is rushed. Grease, cooking residue, polish, and hand oils can stop coatings from bonding—especially around pulls, edges, and high-touch doors.

Prep steps our cabinet painters may include

  • Protecting countertops, floors, appliances, and nearby surfaces

  • Labeling and removing doors, drawers, and hardware (as scoped)

  • Degreasing and cleaning to remove residues that block adhesion

  • Sanding and deglossing to create a proper bonding surface

  • Repairing minor dings or chips where appropriate

  • Priming with bonding primers for durable adhesion

If your cabinets are chipping, peeling, or were painted poorly in the past, we’ll explain what we see and build a plan that fixes the cause—not just the look.

Cabinet Repainting Colors, Sheens, and Hardware Planning for a Finished Look

Cabinet color and sheen determine whether your kitchen feels bright and modern or warm and traditional. We help you choose a finish that fits your home and stays easy to clean.

Common cabinet painting decisions we help with

  • Choosing cabinet color to match counters, backsplash, and flooring

  • Selecting sheen for cleanability and fingerprint resistance

  • Coordinating island color and two-tone cabinet repainting layouts

  • Planning around existing hardware holes or new pulls/knobs

  • Setting expectations for grain visibility on wood cabinets (when painting)

If you want guidance before committing, we can include a color consultation as part of planning.

Cabinet Paint Products and Coating Systems Built for High-Touch Durability

Cabinets need more than “wall paint.” We recommend cabinet-grade primers and coatings based on your cabinet material, existing finish, and how your home uses the space. The goal is a smooth, durable finish that stands up to hands, cleaning, and daily wear.

What we consider when recommending cabinet painting coatings

  • Bonding needs based on existing finish (painted vs stained vs coated)

  • Primer selection to reduce tannin bleed or staining (when needed)

  • Durability requirements for doors, edges, and drawer fronts

  • Cleanability and scuff resistance for kitchens and bathrooms

  • Dry time and cure time planning for real-life use

  • Low-odor options when requested and appropriate

We’ll explain the coating system clearly during your estimate so you know what you’re getting and why it fits your cabinets.

Cabinet Painting Cost Factors and What Impacts Your Estimate

Cabinet painting and refinishing costs vary based on the number of doors/drawers, prep requirements, and the finish system—not just the size of the kitchen. When you request an estimate, we look at scope, condition, and the steps needed for a long-lasting result.

Common cabinet painting cost drivers

  • Number of cabinet doors, drawers, and boxes included

  • Current cabinet condition (chips, peeling, grease buildup)

  • Material type (wood vs MDF vs manufactured surfaces)

  • Paint color change complexity (dark-to-light or heavy coverage)

  • Hardware removal/reinstall and hinge adjustments (as scoped)

  • Detail level (insides, face frames, shelves, sides)

  • Product system and finish expectations (durability and smoothness)

Photos help us understand scope, but a walkthrough provides the clearest plan—especially for protection and workflow.
