Painting your kitchen cabinets is the highest-impact, lowest-cost way to update a kitchen — usually a fraction of what new cabinets or refacing would run. The catch is that cabinets get touched, washed, and bumped constantly, so they’re the one surface where shortcuts show up fast.
How we get a finish that holds up
- Degrease first. Kitchen cabinets carry a film of cooking grease that paint won’t stick to. We clean every surface before anything else.
- Sand and prime. We scuff-sand the doors and boxes and use a bonding primer made for slick, previously finished surfaces.
- Spray the doors. Doors and drawer fronts come off and get sprayed for a smooth, brush-mark-free finish, then go back on once cured.
- Durable topcoat. We use a cabinet-grade enamel that hardens to stand up to daily use.
What to expect
It’s a multi-day job because the coats need real cure time between them — rushing that is exactly how cabinet paint ends up peeling at the edges. We’ll label everything, keep your hardware organized, and walk you through color and sheen options. Free estimate before any work starts.
