New kitchen look. Fraction of replacement cost. The cabinets you have are probably fine — they just need the right finish applied the right way.
Cabinet replacement: $15,000–$40,000+. Cabinet refinishing: $3,000–$9,000. Same look. Same quality finish. The difference is whether you want to spend the rest on something else.
Our Process
Not all cabinets are good candidates for painting. We assess the box construction, door material, and existing finish before we quote. If your cabinets aren't worth painting, we'll tell you — because selling someone a $6,000 paint job on cabinets that need to be replaced isn't a service, it's a scam.
Every door and drawer front comes off. Hardware removed. This is not optional. Painting cabinets in place produces brush marks, uneven coverage, and paint bridging in the hinges. We do it right or we don't do it.
Oak and other open-grain woods require grain filler before painting — otherwise the wood grain telegraphs through the finish. We fill, sand, and prime every surface. This is the step that separates a factory finish from a brush-and-roll job.
Cabinet doors are sprayed, not brushed. Spray application produces the smooth, factory-quality finish that makes painted cabinets look like they came from a showroom. Brush marks on cabinet doors are a sign of a painter who doesn't own a spray rig.
Doors rehung, drawers reinstalled, hardware replaced. We adjust every door for level and alignment before we leave. Your kitchen should look like it was designed this way — not like it was recently painted.

FAQ
Cabinet refinishing typically runs $3,000–$9,000 for an average kitchen. Full cabinet replacement runs $15,000–$40,000+. The finish quality is comparable. The math is not complicated.
Most kitchen cabinet projects take 3–5 days. Day 1 is disassembly and prep. Days 2–3 are spray application and drying. Day 4–5 is reassembly and touch-up. You'll have limited kitchen access during the project — we work with your schedule to minimize disruption.
Not if it's done correctly. We use cabinet-specific enamels — not wall paint — applied over properly prepped surfaces. The products we use are formulated for the wear and tear cabinets take. The prep is what makes it last.
Yes, with proper prep. We sand, degrease, and prime over existing painted surfaces. If the existing paint is peeling or failing, we strip it first. Painting over a failing finish is how you get a failing finish.
