Cabinet Painting for The Kitchen You Deserve

When it comes to updating your kitchen, nothing transforms the space faster—or more cost-effectively—than professionally painted cabinets. But let’s be honest: the first question on your mind is, “How much does it cost?”

We believe you deserve real answers, not vague ranges or sales calls.

Here’s everything you need to know about the cost of cabinet painting, with total transparency and no fluff.

💸 What Drives the Price Up?

Several factors can increase your cabinet painting cost:

The number of cabinet doors, drawers, or panels
Adding a second color
Type of wood
Filling and drilling new hardware holes
Spraying cabinet boxes and frames (not just doors)
Extra prep work (cleaning, sanding)
Cabinet door repairs

🪙 What Can Bring the Price Down?

You may spend less if:

You only need doors and drawer fronts painted (ie new doors or DIY boxes/frames being painted)
Single color
You choose to reuse existing hardware – no hole drilling/filling
Smaller kitchens
If we are painting ceilings and walls, less maksing means cheaper cabinet painting
No grain filling

🧠 Why Are Some Companies More Expensive?

Higher-priced cabinet painters may be higher due to several reasons, such as:

Spraying all cabinets
Full grain filler options
Lifetime warranties
Speed to completion (5 days vs 2 weeks)
Fully insured and background checked workers (see our Team Page!)
Dedicated crew, project manager (Meet Chad via video now!) , free sample doors
Free in home design consultations
Free touch ups
The right primer (learn more here)

⚠️ Why Are Some So Cheap?

Watch out for:
- No insurance
- Skipping prep steps (cleaning, sanding, priming)
- Roll/brush-only application (no spraying)
- “One-day” jobs that cut corners
- Lack of follow-up or warranties
- no overhead- they work out of their Van (nothing wrng with that in itself)

💰 So Where Do Our Prices Fall?

Our cabinet painting projects usually range from $3,500 to $8,500, depending on size and complexity.

Quick Examples:

Small kitchen (20 doors/5 drawers): ~$3,200 and up
Medium kitchen (30 doors/10 drawers): ~$4,200 and up
Large kitchen with boxes, second color, hardware changes: ~$6,500 and up

📦 Do You Offer Different Packages?

Yes. We offer customizable packages based on how much work you want done:

Basic: Doors & drawers only
Standard: Doors, drawers, and boxes sprayed
Premium: Everything plus new hardware handles fill/drill, new hinges, and accent color

🕰️ Initial Cost vs Lifetime Value

Repainting cabinets costs 20–30% of what a full cabinet replacement does—but still gives you 80–90% of the visual transformation. And because we use durable finishes, your investment can last 10+ years with proper care.

So use the savings to get new counter tops, new sink , new appliances, new handles, or tile for your backsplsh!

📈 Have Prices Gone Up?

Yes—(just like everything else) Like most trades, labor and materials have risen in the last 3 years, over 50%!

Our prices have increased as a result of not only high materials but increased overhead such as insurance, and labor as well.

We keep our pricing stable by buying materials in bulk and reducing waste.
