Frequently Asked Questions for Cabinet Painting

Here’s what homeowners should know before starting a kitchen cabinet refinishing project with our team.

The easiest way to refinish kitchen cabinets is to clean them thoroughly, sand lightly to remove sheen, prime with a bonding primer, and apply a durable cabinet-grade paint. However, professional refinishing delivers smoother results and longer durability by using advanced sprayers, proper surface prep, and commercial-grade products.

You should not paint directly over kitchen cabinets without proper prep. Cabinets need to be cleaned, sanded, and primed to ensure the new paint adheres and lasts. Painting over grease, gloss, or old finishes without prep will cause peeling and poor coverage.
Let us take care of the prep and painting for a long-lasting result.

Spray painting provides a smoother, factory-like finish and is preferred for cabinet projects. Brush painting may leave visible strokes and is better for touch-ups or small sections. Professionals typically spray doors and drawers off-site and brush the cabinet frames on-site when necessary.

We use professional spray equipment to give your cabinets a flawless finish. Schedule a free estimate today.

The best paint for kitchen cabinets is a high-quality, waterborne alkyd or acrylic enamel designed for cabinetry. These paints cure to a hard, durable finish and resist moisture, stains, and grease. Avoid using standard wall paint, which won’t hold up to kitchen conditions.

Ask us about the premium cabinet-grade paints we use on every job.

In California, cabinet refinishing usually ranges from $3,000 to $8,000 depending on the number of doors and drawers, condition, paint type, and whether color changes are needed. Large kitchens or custom finishes may cost more.
