Townhome Cabinet Repainting in La Jolla

Last Updated: August 28, 2013

Kitchen with wood cabinets, microwave, and cooktop.

For this La Jolla townhome project, the homeowner wanted us to freshen the kitchen without a full remodel.

We used a primer and several coats of white sprayed finished (a durable acrylic) for these old cabinets. For a unique touch, we gilted the cabinets with a dark purple-gray stripe on the inside wood panel.

This project took a little less than a week to complete and was bid for about $3,200. Cabinet refinishing is often a much more economical and reasonable option than a full cabinet replacement which usually costs at least $13,000.
