What a cabinet refinish includes
Every kitchen we refinish gets the full system below, priced by door and drawer count at one quoted price.
Kitchen masked off
Counters, backsplash, floors, and appliances covered and sealed before any sanding starts.
Degrease, sand, and fill
Kitchen grease cleaned off first, then every surface sanded, and dings and old hardware holes filled.
Custom color matching
Any Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore color, or a match to a sample you bring us.
Factory-smooth enamel
Bonding primer and two sprayed coats of cabinet-grade enamel, with no brush marks.
A kitchen you can still use
Sink and appliances stay in service the whole time. Doors are off for a few days, so plan on open shelving.
2-year warranty
A written workmanship warranty, and no payment until every door hangs level and you are satisfied.
Need more than paint?
Bath vanities, built-ins, and laundry cabinets can join the same project, and so can the walls around them with kitchen painting or interior painting. Tell us the scope and we will fold it into one estimate.
Cabinet colors that hold up
A warm white or a soft greige suits most kitchens, often with one deeper color on the island. These are popular choices for refinished cabinets.
Start with the countertop and the floor, because those are not changing. A white that looks clean on a chip can turn gray beside cool marble or yellow beside oak, so we hold sample boards against your actual counters and look at them in morning light and under the pendants before anyone commits.
The most requested look right now is two-tone: white or greige perimeter cabinets with a navy, green, or bronze island. It adds depth without putting the whole kitchen in a strong color. Pick hardware with the color, too. Warm whites suit brushed brass or matte black, and navy islands suit brass or chrome.

How to tell your cabinets are ready
Cabinets wear out at the finish long before the boxes fail. These are the things we look for in a kitchen, and the ones that say refinishing will pay off.
Finish worn through at the pulls
Look around the knobs and the drawer under the sink. Bare wood or a dull patch means the finish is no longer sealing the door.
A tacky film near the range
Grease that comes back right after cleaning has worked into the old finish. It is also the number one reason paint fails to stick.
Chipping from an earlier paint job
Peeling paint on cabinets usually means the doors were never degreased or bond-primed. It has to come off before anything new goes on.
Orange oak or a dated color
Boxes that are solid and square but stuck in an old color are the ideal refinish. Oak grain can even be filled for a smooth modern look.
You like the layout
If the storage works and nothing needs to move, painting gives you most of a remodel’s impact without the weeks of downtime.
A typical kitchen takes four to six days, and a sprayed enamel over properly degreased, sanded, and primed cabinets lasts ten years or more with normal use. If the boxes are water damaged, sagging, or swelling, we will tell you replacement is the better call. Call (678) 737-6776 to have someone look at yours.

We just had exterior, garage and kitchen cabinet painting done. You will not find an easier company to deal with. The painting looks great, and they clean up at the end of each day. I would highly recommend them!
Questions we hear most
Straight answers on timing, paint, payment, and the warranty. Anything else, ask us on the estimate visit or call (678) 737-6776.
As long as the prep allows. The finish lasts because every surface is degreased, sanded, and bond-primed before two sprayed coats of cabinet-grade enamel go on, so it resists chips and daily cleaning instead of peeling at the pulls. The work carries our written 2-year workmanship warranty.
A typical kitchen takes 4 to 6 days, and it is never fully out of use. The sink and appliances stay in service the whole time, the doors and drawer fronts are off for a few days while they are sprayed and cured, and the boxes are masked and painted in place.
Yes, by a wide margin, as long as the boxes are sound and you like the layout. Painting keeps the cabinets, counters, and plumbing where they are and takes days rather than weeks. Replacement is the better call when boxes are water damaged, sagging, or swelling. Our cabinet painting cost guide explains how a job is priced by door and drawer count.
Yes. From white and greige to bold custom tones, we match virtually any color you choose.
We use only premium products from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, selected for durability, color retention, and a smooth finish. We’ll recommend the right product and sheen for each surface and room.
Every project is backed by a written 2-year workmanship warranty. If anything isn’t right, we come back and make it right.
You pay nothing until the job is finished and you’re 100% satisfied. Our no-payment-until-complete promise keeps the entire process risk-free.
