Cabinet Painting

Cabinet painting is one of the more cost-effective ways to update a kitchen's look, involving proper surface prep (cleaning, sanding, priming) followed by a durable paint finish -- often sprayed for the smoothest result. This works on most cabinet materials including wood and many laminate surfaces.

  • Surface prep (cleaning, sanding, priming) before painting
  • Sprayed or brushed application depending on the job
  • Works on wood and many laminate cabinet surfaces

Current Cabinet Refinishing Trends

  • Painting cabinets delivers most of the visual impact of replacement at a fraction of the cost

    When cabinet boxes are structurally sound and the layout works, professional painting delivers roughly 70-90% of the visual impact of full replacement at about 20-40% of the cost — replacement can run $28,000+ versus $2,000-$7,000 for a typical painted kitchen. (Industry cabinet painting vs. replacement guides, 2026)

  • Homeowners are increasingly choosing refinishing specifically to avoid a full remodel

    Rather than spending $20,000-$40,000 on new cabinet boxes and doors, more homeowners are refreshing kitchens through professional painting when the existing cabinets are still structurally solid. (Industry kitchen refresh trend coverage, 2026)

Cabinet Staining & Re-Staining

For homeowners who want to keep the natural wood grain visible rather than an opaque paint finish, staining or re-staining updates the color tone while preserving that wood-grain look -- useful for both updating an outdated wood color and refreshing a finish that's faded or worn.

Cabinet boxes and doors are still solid, but the finish looks dated or worn

This is exactly the situation refinishing is built for — the underlying cabinetry doesn't need to be replaced just because the surface finish has aged.

Visible chips or wear concentrated around handles and frequently-touched edges

This kind of localized wear is usually a straightforward refinishing fix rather than a sign the cabinets themselves are failing structurally.

Considering a full kitchen remodel mainly because the cabinets look old

Worth getting a refinishing quote first — if the layout and cabinet boxes are otherwise fine, refinishing can solve the actual problem (the look) without the cost and disruption of full replacement.

Keep in mind: If you want a solid, opaque color rather than a wood-grain-visible finish, cabinet painting is the more appropriate service.

Cabinet Hardware Upgrades

New hardware -- knobs, pulls, and hinges -- can significantly change a kitchen's overall look and is commonly done alongside refinishing to complete the update, including drilling new holes if hole spacing changes with the new hardware style.
