Sanding and priming as needed
Cabinet boxes professionally finished in your home
Doors and drawer fronts sprayed off-site
Professional cabinet-grade coatings

How Long Does Cabinet Painting Take?
ABOUT ONE WEEK
for most kitchen cabinet painting projects
Doors and drawer fronts are removed and finished off-site while the cabinet boxes are prepared and painted in your home. Once everything has cured appropriately, we return to reinstall doors, drawer fronts and hardware.
PRO TIP
Don’t judge a cabinet painting timeline by the number of days alone. Ask how much of the work happens inside your home. A process that removes doors and drawer fronts for off-site spraying can significantly reduce the time your kitchen feels like a work zone.
If your cabinet boxes are in good condition and you like your existing kitchen layout, professional cabinet painting can be one of the most cost-effective ways to dramatically update your kitchen.
Is Cabinet Painting Worth the Cost?
For homeowners who have structurally sound cabinets but don't love their current color or finish, cabinet painting can provide a dramatic transformation without the expense and disruption of replacing the entire kitchen.
