Paint EZ provides professional cabinet painting and cabinet refinishing for kitchens, bathroom vanities, built-ins, and other eligible cabinetry. We manage the project from the initial evaluation and color selection through preparation, coating, reinstallation, cleanup, and the final walkthrough.
If your cabinet boxes and doors are in suitable condition, refinishing can give them a clean, updated appearance without changing your existing layout or completing a full cabinet replacement.
What’s Part of Our Cabinet Painting & Refinishing Service
- An in-home cabinet evaluation and written project proposal
- Color and finish guidance, including color visualization options
- Protection for floors, countertops, appliances, walls, and nearby surfaces
- Careful labeling and removal of cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and approved hardware
- Cleaning and degreasing to remove residue that can interfere with adhesion
- Sanding or deglossing appropriate to the existing cabinet surface
- Approved minor cosmetic repairs identified during the estimate
- Primer selected for the cabinet material and surface condition
- Professional application of cabinet-appropriate coatings
- Curing time, reinstallation, jobsite cleanup, and a final walkthrough
Your written proposal should identify the exact doors, drawer fronts, cabinet boxes, exposed end panels, interiors, hardware, and repairs included in the project. This prevents uncertainty about surfaces that may look similar but require different preparation or materials.
Cabinet Painting vs. Cabinet Refinishing
Cabinet painting focuses on changing or refreshing the cabinet color with a professionally applied coating. Cabinet refinishing is the broader process of cleaning, preparing, repairing where approved, priming, and recoating existing cabinet surfaces. Paint EZ evaluates the cabinet material and condition before recommending the appropriate scope.
Cabinet painting is often a good fit when you like the current layout and the cabinet components are sound. It may not be appropriate for every surface. Significant water damage, failing laminate, loose components, or structural problems may require repair or replacement before coating. Your representative will explain what the project can reasonably include.
Our Cabinet Refinishing Process
At Paint EZ, we take pride in the details. Our trained specialists follow a proven process to ensure every cabinet gets a flawless, factory-like finish.
Step 1: Cabinet Evaluation and Quote
A Paint EZ representative reviews the cabinet material, current finish, condition, layout, and project goals. You receive a proposal describing the planned preparation, coating system, included surfaces, and project scope.
Step 2: Color and Finish Selection
Choose a color and sheen that work with your countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting, and surrounding interior paint. Color consultation and visualization options can help you compare choices before work begins.
See our color consultation services for more information.
Step 3: Protection, Labeling, and Preparation
We protect nearby surfaces, label removable components, and remove the approved doors, drawer fronts, and hardware. Cabinet surfaces are then cleaned, prepared, and repaired as described in the proposal
Step 4: Priming and Coating
The crew applies primer where required and uses cabinet-appropriate coatings selected for the material and project conditions. The application plan is designed to produce an even, consistent finish.
Step 5: Curing, Reinstallation, and Walkthrough
After the coatings have cured sufficiently for the next stage, the crew reinstalls the included components, cleans the work area, and completes a final walkthrough with you. Full coating cure may continue after reinstallation, so follow the care instructions provided for your project.
Why Homeowners Choose Paint EZ
Cabinet painting requires careful preparation, organized project management, and products selected for the cabinet surface. Here’s why homeowners choose Paint EZ:
Cabinet Colors and Finish Options
Cabinet color affects the entire room. Light neutrals can create a brighter appearance, deep colors can add contrast, and coordinated tones can connect cabinetry with nearby walls and finishes. Depending on the selected product and cabinet surface, available sheen options may include satin, semi-gloss, or another cabinet-appropriate finish.
Use Paint EZ’s Color Consultation Services to compare cabinet colors with the rest of your interior. For a larger room update, explore our Interior Painting Services for walls, ceilings, trim, and other interior surfaces.
Cabinet Painting and Refinishing FAQs
How much does a cabinet painting cost?
Cabinet painting cost depends on the number and size of doors and drawers, cabinet layout, material, existing finish, surface condition, repairs, coating system, and included surfaces. Paint EZ provides a project-specific quote after evaluating the cabinetry.
How long does cabinet refinishing take?
The schedule depends on the project size, preparation needs, product requirements, drying and curing conditions, and the scope in your proposal. Your representative will provide an expected project schedule before work begins.
Can every type of cabinet be painted?
No. Many wood, wood-composite, and previously coated cabinets may be candidates, but suitability depends on the material and condition. Peeling surfaces, damaged laminate, moisture problems, or structural issues can affect what is possible. Paint EZ evaluates the cabinets before recommending a coating plan.
What kind of paint or coating is used on cabinets?
Paint EZ uses cabinet-appropriate primers and durable coatings from trusted manufacturers such as Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Behr. The recommended system depends on the cabinet material, existing finish, use, and project conditions. Lower-VOC options may be available, and your representative will explain the recommended primer, coating, sheen, and product details.
Can I preview cabinet colors before choosing?
Yes. Paint EZ offers color guidance and visualization options to help you compare cabinet colors with counters, flooring, walls, and other fixed finishes. Ask your representative which visualization option is available for your project.
Do you remove cabinet doors and hardware?
Paint EZ labels and removes the doors, drawer fronts, and approved hardware included in the proposal, then reinstalls the included components after the appropriate coating stage. Confirm whether hinges, pulls, knobs, glass, and cabinet interiors are included in your written scope.
Can I use my kitchen during the project?
Access may be limited during preparation, coating, drying, and reinstallation. The amount of disruption varies by scope and work sequence. Your representative will explain which areas need to remain clear and when normal use can resume.
How should newly refinished cabinets be cleaned?
Follow the project-specific cure and care instructions. Avoid harsh cleaners, abrasive pads, excessive moisture, and hard impacts while the coating continues to cure. Use a soft cloth and an approved mild cleaner after the recommended waiting period.
Does Paint EZ offer a warranty on cabinet painting?
Paint EZ offers 2-year, 5-year, and 7-year warranty options for eligible projects. A representative will explain the available terms, coverage, exclusions, and homeowner responsibilities before you select an option.
