Got cabinet painting questions? We've got answers
Here are some of the top questions we hear. If yours isn't on the list, contact us! We're here to help, and are totally transparent about our approach, pricing, and process.
How long does it take to paint kitchen cabinets?
The timeline depends on the size of your kitchen and how much prep work is needed. We’ll give you a clear schedule before the project begins so you know exactly what to expect.
Are painted cabinets durable enough for daily use?
Yes. When done professionally, painted cabinets hold up very well. Our process includes cleaning, sanding, priming, and applying premium products designed for high-use areas, leaving you with a smooth finish that resists chips and wear.
Can you stain or refinish cabinets instead of just painting them?
Absolutely. We offer cabinet staining, refinishing, protective clear coats, and custom color matching in addition to painting. We can also upgrade hardware to give your cabinets a completely refreshed look.
Is cabinet painting cheaper than replacing my cabinets?
Yes. Painting or refinishing costs a fraction of what you’d spend on a full replacement. The investment depends on your kitchen’s size and the finish you choose, but it’s almost always more budget-friendly than installing new cabinets.
