Painting vs. refinishing vs. refacing vs. replacing
Painting and refinishing keep your existing cabinet boxes and doors and change the finish — the fastest and most affordable way to transform a kitchen. Refacing adds new doors and veneer to existing boxes and costs noticeably more. Replacement is the right call only when the cabinet boxes are damaged, water-swollen, or the layout itself no longer works.
If your cabinets are solid wood or quality MDF and the layout works for you, painting almost always delivers the best value.
Can oak cabinets be painted smooth?
Yes. Oak has open grain that shows through paint. If you prefer a smooth, modern look, we apply a grain filler before priming. If you like a little texture, we can skip it and save you money. We will show you both options.
Why homeowners choose us for cabinet painting & refinishing
Save 50% or more vs. replacing
You keep your countertops, backsplash, plumbing and layout. Most of our clients save well over half the cost of new cabinets alone.
Sprayed, not brushed
Doors and drawer fronts are sprayed for a smooth, brush-mark-free finish that looks like it came from the factory.
Built to handle a real kitchen
Thorough degreasing, scuff sanding and a bonding primer give the enamel something to grip, so the finish resists chips and daily wear.
Kitchen back in days, not weeks
About 90% of our cabinet projects are finished in five days or less, with your kitchen usable in the evenings.

Our process
How our cabinet painting & refinishing process works
- Step 1
Remove & label
Doors, drawer fronts and hardware are removed and labeled so everything goes back exactly where it came from.
- Step 2
Clean & degrease
Kitchen grease is the #1 cause of peeling cabinet paint. Every surface is degreased before sanding.
- Step 3
Sand, fill & prime
We scuff sand, fill dings and optional grain, then apply a high-adhesion bonding primer.
- Step 4
Spray & reinstall
Two coats of cabinet-grade enamel are sprayed, allowed to cure, then everything is rehung and adjusted.
