Cabinet Painting
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How Do I Eliminate Wood Grain for a Smooth Finish?
To reduce visible wood grain on painted cabinets, apply a skim coat of Bondo or wood filler, then sand thoroughly before priming. This extra step enhances smoothness but adds time and cost to the project due to the detailed labor required.
2. How Much Does Cabinet Painting Cost?
The cost typically ranges from $6,000 to $8,000, depending on factors like kitchen size, material selection, and labor requirements. Our metric-based bidding system ensures a precise and competitive estimate for each project.
3. Do You Paint Onsite or Offsite?
Cabinet painting is primarily done onsite, with a 10×10+ area designated as a spray booth for optimal results. Offsite painting is available upon request but incurs a $250 transportation fee for moving items to our workshop.
4. Should I Remove or Replace Hardware?
We take care of hardware removal for you. If you’re upgrading to new hardware, ensure it matches the existing hole spacing and screw length for a proper fit. For the best compatibility, consult specialists at Home Depot, or Lowe’s before purchasing.
5. Should I Paint Cabinets Before or After Installing Countertops?
Cabinet painting can be done before countertops are installed, but it’s important to allow for a 21-28 day curing period to prevent damage. Alternatively, painting can begin 48 hours after countertop installation to ensure the best adhesion and durability.
6. Can All Cabinets Be Painted?
Yes, but different materials—wood, laminate, and MDF—require specific prep and painting techniques for long-lasting results. We assess your cabinets and determine the best approach to ensure a durable and professional finish.
7. What Is the Timeline for Cabinet Painting?
A professional crew typically completes cabinet painting in 5-7 days, requiring approximately 75-120 hours of labor. During this time, cabinets will be inaccessible, so it’s important to plan accordingly.
8. Should I Clear the Kitchen Before Painting?
Yes, homeowners need to remove all items from countertops and inside cabinets before painting begins. Additionally, we require a designated 10×10+ area for a spray booth. Expect 4-7 days of limited kitchen access during the project.
9. How Do I Cover Dark Wood for a Smooth Finish?
To effectively conceal dark wood, start with a stain-blocking oil or shellac-based primer, then apply two coats of high-quality cabinet enamel for full coverage and durability.
What Paints Do You Recommend for Cabinets?
For both DIYers and professionals, we recommend:
- Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane
- Benjamin Moore ADVANCE® Interior Alkyd Paint
For professional use only, we suggest:
- Envirolak Envirothane 2K for a high-performance, durable finish.
COMMON PROJECTS
Cabinet painting is one of our most requested services—and for good reason. It’s a simple, effective way to transform your space without the cost or hassle of a full renovation.
No matter the size of the job, we bring the same attention to detail and care, making sure the process is smooth and minimally disruptive to your daily routine.
Every project is tailored to your space, your style, and how you use it. We’ll talk through your ideas, ask the right questions, and help you choose the best solution to get the look you’re after.
- Preparation: Before we start painting your cabinets, we take the time to do things right. That means removing hardware, cleaning and degreasing all surfaces, sanding to smooth out imperfections, and priming for a strong, even base. Proper prep is key to a durable, professional finish—and it’s something we never rush or skip.
- Repairs: If your cabinets have damage—like dents, chips, peeling paint, or worn areas—we’ll take care of it before painting begins. We fill cracks, smooth rough spots, and make sure every surface is properly repaired and ready for a flawless finish. If needed, we can also replace damaged panels or trim to restore your cabinets to their best condition.
- Residential & Commercial: Our cabinet painting services aren’t limited to homes. We also work on commercial spaces like offices, cafes, and retail areas—anywhere cabinetry plays a role in the look and feel of a space. We tailor our approach to suit the setting, whether it’s refreshing a home kitchen or updating cabinets in a customer-facing business. Wherever the job, we deliver clean, professional results that last.
