A lot of Bellingham's character lives in its kitchens. The Victorian and Craftsman homes of Fairhaven and Columbia, and the mid-century stock around them, were built with solid-wood cabinet boxes that are still structurally sound decades later, even when the finish has gone dated, yellowed, or worn. That is exactly where refinishing wins: when the boxes are good, painting them costs a fraction of a full replacement and keeps the original character intact, no demo, no new countertops forced by a cabinet swap. We spray a factory-smooth, cabinet-grade finish with no brush marks, the kind of result a homeowner in a rising Whatcom County market wants before listing or before settling in for the long haul.

The process is what makes it last on a kitchen that gets used daily: we degrease the years of cooking film off the doors, sand and fill, prime for adhesion, and spray under dust control with hardware removed and reinstalled. Bellingham's college-town rental market also drives demand for durable, budget-conscious kitchen refreshes between tenants, and a sprayed cabinet finish handles that wear far better than a quick roll-on. Every cabinet project runs through a superintendent and carries our 10-year workmanship warranty, where most local painters brush cabinets and will not warranty them.

I am so pleased with my experience with Hedlund Painting. I contacted Zakary to repair trim / banister damage from an anxious puppy, as well as paint my kitchen cabinets and walls.

Our experience with Hedlund Painting was outstanding. Let's face it, you consider hiring a professional painting company because a) you can't do it yourself, b) you really don't WANT to do…

Hedlund painting did an awesome job on the interior of our home. It was a large job with cabinets, drywall patching and repair and nearly every room of our 3 BDR home having to be painted.

Yes. When the boxes are sound, which the solid-wood cabinetry in many older Bellingham homes is, refinishing costs a fraction of replacement and keeps the original character.
How much does cabinet painting cost in Bellingham?
It depends on kitchen size and the condition of the cabinets. We provide a free written estimate, with no surprise change orders.
Do you spray or brush cabinets?
Sprayed, for a factory-smooth, brush-mark-free finish that holds up to daily kitchen use.
How long does cabinet painting take in Bellingham?
About 3 to 5 days for most kitchens. That timeline includes degreasing, sanding, priming, spraying, and the cure time built in before we reinstall the hardware.

Yes. We are licensed, bonded, and insured under Washington contractor license HEDLUPI814DE, and a superintendent runs every cabinet project.
Can you refinish the older solid-wood cabinets in Fairhaven and Columbia homes?
Yes. The Victorian and Craftsman kitchens in Fairhaven and Columbia were built with solid-wood boxes that are still structurally sound, which is exactly where a sprayed refinish wins over replacement.
Is your cabinet painting work guaranteed?
Yes. Every Bellingham cabinet project carries our 10-year workmanship warranty, where most local painters brush cabinets and will not warranty them.
Do you handle budget-conscious rental kitchen refreshes?
Yes. Bellingham's college-town rental market drives steady demand for durable, budget-conscious refreshes between tenants, and a sprayed cabinet finish holds up to that wear far better than a quick roll-on.
