Frequently asked questions

How long does cabinet painting take?

How long does cabinet painting take?

Most kitchen cabinet painting projects take 5–7 business days from start to finish, depending on the size of the kitchen, the number of doors and drawers, the amount of preparation required, and drying/curing times.

Our process includes careful cleaning, sanding, surface preparation, priming (when needed), professional spraying, curing, and reinstallation. We take the time to do the job properly so you receive a beautiful, durable finish that will last for years.

Can you change the cabinet color?

Yes. Cabinet painting allows you to completely transform the look of your kitchen by changing the color of your existing cabinets. Whether you're looking for a timeless white, a warm neutral, a bold accent color, or a modern dark finish, we'll help you choose a color that complements your home's style.

During your estimate, we can discuss color options, sheen, and the best products for achieving a beautiful, durable finish.

How durable is the paint?

We use Sherwin-Williams Emerald® Urethane Trim Enamel, a premium coating specifically designed for cabinets, doors, and trim. When applied over properly prepared surfaces and allowed to fully cure, it provides a hard, durable finish that resists everyday wear, scuffs, and household cleaning.

Like any painted surface, cabinets should be treated with reasonable care. We recommend using a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner for routine cleaning. With proper care, professionally painted cabinets can provide many years of beautiful, long-lasting performance.

Do you spray the doors?

Yes. Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are professionally spray-finished to achieve a smooth, even appearance with minimal brush or roller texture. Before spraying, each piece is carefully cleaned, sanded, and properly prepared to ensure excellent adhesion and a durable finish.

Every project is completed with attention to detail from preparation through final installation, resulting in beautifully refinished cabinets that enhance the look of your kitchen.

Can you paint oak cabinets?

Yes. Oak cabinets can be professionally painted and transformed into a fresh, updated look. Because oak has a pronounced wood grain, the grain pattern may remain slightly visible after painting unless additional grain-filling steps are requested.

Every project begins with thorough cleaning, sanding, and proper surface preparation to promote excellent adhesion and a durable finish. We use premium coatings, including Sherwin-Williams Emerald® Urethane Trim Enamel, to achieve a beautiful, long-lasting result.

During your estimate, we'll discuss your goals and explain the finish you can expect so there are no surprises.
