Hello Everyone, I am David with Dfranco Painting and Wallpaper in Huntley, IL. The top question and query we recieved over the past month has been regarding painting Cherry cabinets, so I thought I would revisit this topic for you.
Are you ready to paint your Cherry Cabinets?
If you are like many of our customers in the Chicagoland area, such as South Elgin, Hampshire, or Crystal Lake, you have a home that has these cherry cabinets. You been looking at Pinterest, Google images, watching HGTV or YouTube videos about painting kitchen cabinets. You are tired of how they look and make your kitchen so dark. Many of our family members, friend and other customers have this same question- so you are in the right place. Now we’ll answer the question- Should I paint my cherry cabinets?
How much will it cost to paint my cabinets?
The top two questions most people are asking when facing the question or problem of kitchen remodeling, is how much will it cost and will it last. For most people, it is the same answer.
- The cost is based on how many cabinets you have
- check our our pricing page!
- The process is proven to last- so we give you a lifetime warranty on our work
- We even come back in 1 year to do a check up if you need it
A common question- how much does it cost to paint cabinets? Right now, you can expect about $135.00 per cabinet to have it painted. That is an average so you can do some rough math by counting your cabinets. With the savings of painting your cabinets, you can replace your handles, get new soft close hinges, update your countertops, and change your sink and faucet!
The best part about painting your cabinets is YOU decide what color you want! You can go to any JC Licht Store, or Sherwin Williams store in the Chicagoland area, pick any color you want- you can even pick two colors if you wish!! (If you select the whites from BEHR- we may not be able to match it 100%)
Larger jobs may come with a free color consult!
So, can I paint MY cherry cabinets?
Before the details of how we paint your cabinets, there are several questions you have to be able to honestly answer to know if painting your cherry cabinets is a good solution for you.
- Is there anything wrong with the cabinets you have? Is there any damage? Are there any broken doors? Do they have water damage? If you are saying no to any of these then so far you are on your way to painting your cherry cabinets!
- Do you like the look of a painted cabinet? Some people, my father being one of them, cringes at the sound of painting wood. If you are not sure then take a few hours and go to a home improvement store like Home Depot or Menards to look and touch. Ask yourself if you can see yourself with painted kitchen cabinets.
- If you are still feeling good about the idea then it is time for the next step!
Things to Consider Before Painting Your Cherry Cabinets
There are a few things you need to be aware of if you have never had a kitchen or any cabinets that are painted. Painted cabinets are not like stained wood cabinets. I know you are here because you want to know about cherry cabinets, however, if your cabinets are pine-stained cherry color, this is not for you. Pine cabinets are not good candidates for paint. But you have solid Cherry! Stained cherry cabinets have a finish that has penetrated the wood fibers themselves to bond into the wood. Paint on a cabinet is given a bonding primer to stick to the surface of the cabinet. Then the paint is put on top of the primer. This is the same in a new factory cabinet or a refinished one like you are thinking about now.
Keep in mind, at the end of the day this is paint. It is a hard shell, it will resist stains, it will be washable, it will look impressive. Paint on wood can chip upon impact and wood doors will not allow you to place wet towels or rags on them and not become damaged. I have to give you that bit of informaton up front so you know.
I have painted my cabinets in my home, people are doing it every day, and I believe it a great way to not just improve the look of your kitchen but change how you feel about the most important room in your home.
