Looking for an awesome way to update your kitchen without a full remodel?

After all, a remodel can be nice, but it’s not always necessary. Plus, it’s hugely expensive, time-consuming, and you have to live without your kitchen for weeks (even months) on end. That throws a wrench in your routine that most people can do without…

If you have good quality cabinets that meet your needs, professional cabinet painting can be a perfect option. And while it’s not cheap, it’s certainly more cost-effective than a remodel that can quickly add up to tens of thousands of dollars.

How about a real-life example? We recently painted these kitchen cabinets in beautiful Carmel Valley, San Diego. The ultimate goal was to create a brighter, more modern feel, turning the dark brown finish into a crisp, gleaming white. Click through the photos above to see the full transformation, but here's one of our favorite finished pics.

How Do You Paint Kitchen Cabinets?

First, we meet with you to establish your exact goals and expectations. We also use the time to gather data about your cabinets, including the project scope, condition, and existing finishes.
Next, we provide a clear, detailed estimate that includes a close look at the prep/repairs involved and the products we recommend.
Once your project is scheduled, we thoroughly prep the space. Cabinet doors and drawer faces are removed, the environment is masked, and we extensively clean/degrease the surfaces.
As needed, we strip and/or sand the existing finishes.
Next, we begin a careful sequence of priming, sanding, and applying topcoats. This is a labor-intensive process, but it allows us to build the beautiful, durable finish you’re looking for.
Once the cabinets are reassembled and the space is thoroughly cleaned, we’ll have a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything meets your expectations (and ours).
