Many Seattle kitchens sit in homes built decades ago, and the cabinets are often solid-wood boxes that are far better built than today's flat-pack replacements. In a 1920s Craftsman or a midcentury Wallingford rambler, tearing out sound original cabinetry to buy new is usually the wrong call: refinishing keeps the quality joinery and updates the look for a fraction of replacement cost. We refinish those cabinets to a sprayed, factory-smooth finish with no brush marks, the look Seattle's kitchen remodelers want without the timeline or expense of a full gut.

The work is exacting because the prep is. Seattle kitchen cabinets carry years of grease and cooking film, so we clean and degrease thoroughly, sand to a bonding profile, fill grain and dings, prime, and spray durable cabinet-grade coatings under dust control. Doors and drawers come off and are sprayed in a controlled area, and boxes are masked and sprayed in place, so your kitchen stays usable through most of the roughly 3-to-5-day project. The result is backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty, which most local painters will not extend to cabinets they brush by hand.

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.

FAQ

Seattle cabinet painting questions.

Still have a question about your project? We are happy to help, just reach out.

Contact us
Is it cheaper to paint or replace cabinets in Seattle?
Yes. When the boxes are sound, refinishing is a fraction of replacement, especially worth it for the solid-wood cabinetry in Seattle's older homes.
Do you spray or brush cabinets?
We spray for a factory-smooth, brush-mark-free finish.
How long does the project take?
Typically 3 to 5 days depending on kitchen size, and your kitchen stays usable through most of it.
How much does cabinet painting cost in Seattle?
It depends on kitchen size, cabinet count, and condition. We give a free written estimate so the price is clear, with no surprise change orders.
Are you licensed and insured for cabinet work in Seattle?
Yes. We are licensed, bonded, and insured under Washington contractor license HEDLUPI814DE, and we are EPA Lead-Safe certified, which matters in Seattle's many pre-1978 Craftsman and bungalow homes.
Can you refinish the original cabinets in my older Seattle home?
Yes. In a 1920s Craftsman or a midcentury Wallingford rambler, those solid-wood boxes are often better built than new flat-pack cabinets, so we refinish them rather than tear out sound joinery.
Will the kitchen be unusable while you work?
No. Doors and drawers come off and are sprayed in a controlled area, and boxes are masked and sprayed in place under dust control, so your kitchen stays usable through most of the roughly 3-to-5-day project.
Is your cabinet painting work guaranteed?
Yes. Every Seattle cabinet job is backed by our 10-year workmanship warranty, which most local painters will not extend to cabinets they brush by hand.
