Paint vs. Replace

The smarter move for most kitchens.

If your cabinet boxes are solid and you like the layout, refinishing is almost always the smarter move. Painting cabinets costs a fraction of new cabinets, skips the demolition and the weeks without a kitchen, and gives you a fresh color and a factory-smooth finish that looks brand new.

Refinishing is right when

The boxes are structurally sound, the layout works for you, and you want a new color or a modern, updated look without a full remodel. It is the high-impact, lower-cost path to a new-looking kitchen.

Replacement makes more sense when

The boxes are damaged or failing, you are changing the floor plan, or you need different sizes and configurations. In those cases, painting alone will not get you there, and we will tell you honestly.

For most kitchens with good bones, a sprayed refinish delivers the look people want at a fraction of the price.

Our Process

Our cabinet process.

A flawless cabinet finish is all about prep and dust control, and that is where we are different. Most local painters brush cabinets in place. We spray, with the same management and communication we bring to every job.

1

On-site estimate

We assess your cabinets, confirm the color and sheen, and send a clear written proposal by email.

2

Label, remove hardware, and degrease

Doors and drawer fronts come off and are labeled so everything goes back exactly where it belongs, then we clean and degrease thoroughly so the coating bonds to grease-free surfaces.

3

Sand, fill, and set up dust control

We sand surfaces to a paintable profile and fill dings and grain for a smooth result, then mask the kitchen and contain overspray and dust to protect the rest of your home.

4

Prime

We apply a bonding primer suited to your cabinet material.

5

Spray the finish

Doors and drawer fronts are sprayed off the boxes in a controlled area, and boxes are masked and sprayed in place, for a factory-smooth, brush-mark-free finish.

6

Cure, reassemble, and walk it with you

We allow proper cure time, reinstall doors, drawers, and hardware, then your superintendent walks the finished kitchen with you for quality control and final approval.

Finishes & Paint

The right coating for a kitchen.

We use durable, cabinet-grade coatings built for the abuse a kitchen takes: opening, closing, cleaning, and daily contact. These are not the same products used on walls, and using the right coating is what makes a sprayed finish last. We use premium cabinet-grade coatings from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore.

Satin cabinet paint finish sample

Satin

A clean, low-sheen look that wipes down easily, one of the most popular choices for cabinets.

Semi-gloss cabinet paint finish sample

Semi-gloss

Slightly more sheen and durability, easy to clean and well suited to high-use kitchens.

Color can be anything from classic whites and soft grays to bold two-tone islands and bases, and our color consultation add-on helps you choose with confidence before we spray. The result is a hard, smooth, washable finish that looks like a factory job and stands up to real life.
