Expert Cabinet Painting in San Diego

Should you paint your cab­i­nets? Ask your­self these questions:

1. Does your kitchen’s over­all size and lay­out meet your needs?

2. Are your cab­i­nets good qual­i­ty, and in decent condition?

3. Are your cab­i­nets worth invest­ing in?

Did you answer ​“yes”? Then let’s keep going

A lot of paint­ing com­pa­nies paint kitchen cab­i­nets, espe­cial­ly since they’re so trendy right now. We’re proud to serve the greater San Diego area. Our cab­i­net paint­ing exper­tise has been par­tic­u­lar­ly val­ued in lux­u­ry homes through­out La Jol­la, Ran­cho San­ta Fe, and Carmel Val­ley, where home­own­ers appre­ci­ate our metic­u­lous atten­tion to detail and fac­to­ry-grade fin­ish­es. What you need to be aware of, how­ev­er, is the fact that not many paint­ing con­trac­tors know how to paint cab­i­nets the right way. Paint­ing is cheap­er than a remod­el, but it’s still an invest­ment, and you want to be sure your fin­ish looks incred­i­ble and lasts. 

In fact, we’ve encoun­tered sce­nar­ios where clients have had their cab­i­nets paint­ed poor­ly, and then want us to fix it. We’ll share a sam­ple door for them to look at, and they say, ​“THAT’S what we wanted!” 

Doing it right the first time is the best, most cost-effec­tive way to go

How do you paint kitchen cabinets? 

Step 1.

We start with an in-per­­son esti­mate. There’s just no good way to ball­park it when every kitchen is so unique. We take mea­sure­ments, lis­ten to your ideas and goals, col­lect the data we need, review the con­di­tion of your cab­i­nets, and dis­cuss any pref­er­ences you may have (low-VOC paints, time­line, etc.).

Step 2.

You’ll get a clear, com­pre­hen­sive pro­pos­al. Don’t wor­ry: we’ll out­line every step and stage with­out any fuzzy details or hid­den sur­pris­es. We only use the high­est qual­i­ty prod­ucts for your project, such as Ben­jamin Moore or Sher­win-Williams paints.

Step 3.

Once we’re offi­cial­ly under­way, we’ll metic­u­lous­ly pre­pare and con­tain your kitchen. Cov­er floors, cov­er coun­ters, mask sur­faces, etc.

Step 4.

Cab­i­net doors and draw­er faces are care­ful­ly removed and orga­nized. It’s a labor-inten­­sive process, but we do the prep right: clean­ing, degreas­ing, sand­ing, repairs, and then using trust­ed brands like Dunn-Edwards and Vista Paint. For areas near sinks, we use mois­­ture-resis­­tant prod­ucts like Zinss­er. Every detail matters.

Step 5.

Once the paint­ing is com­plete, we care­ful­ly rein­stall the doors and draw­er faces. We’ll also make any need­ed touch-ups before a final walk-through with you.

How much does cab­i­net paint­ing cost in San Diego?

It depends on a LOT of fac­tors, rang­ing from the size of your kitchen to the paint­ing tech­nique itself. The aver­age cost for a high­er-end cab­i­net paint­ing project is going to be some­where in the $3500 – 6000 range. Inter­est­ed in more details? Take a look at this arti­cle.

How long does it take to paint kitchen cabinets?

Most projects can be done with­in a week. We know how impor­tant it is to get the heart of your home back in action as quick­ly as possible. 

Do you stain kitchen cab­i­nets too, or just repaint?

We stain as well! What­ev­er look you’re going for, we have the team and expe­ri­ence need­ed to make it happen. 

Do you spray or brush kitchen cabinets?

It depends on the fin­ish type and style you pre­fer. In most cas­es, how­ev­er, we use a sprayer to achieve that smooth, fac­to­ry-grade finish. 

Do you repair kitchen cabinets?

We pro­vide light car­pen­try and sur­face repairs, but are not a cab­i­net repair shop. Paint­ing is a sub­stan­tial invest­ment, best suit­ed for cab­i­nets that are already in good con­di­tion overall. 

Are paint­ed kitchen cab­i­nets durable?

This is a very com­mon con­cern. Hon­est­ly, it all comes down to how well your cab­i­nets were paint­ed. Do-it-your­self projects, or work com­plet­ed by inex­pe­ri­enced painters, will nev­er be as durable as pro­fes­sion­al­ly paint­ed cab­i­nets. The right approach and prod­ucts are essen­tial. But if it’s done the right way, dura­bil­i­ty shouldn’t be an issue!
