Why our cabinet painting holds up
Cabinet painting is the single highest-ROI project we offer. For a fraction of the cost of new cabinets, our cabinet painting and refinishing service gives kitchens and bathrooms in Lawrenceville, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Milton, and the rest of metro Atlanta a factory-smooth finish that looks brand new. We don't brush cabinet doors — every door, drawer front, and shelf is labeled, removed, transported, and sprayed off-site in a controlled environment.
The cabinet boxes that stay in your kitchen are degreased, sanded, masked with full plastic containment, primed with a bonding cabinet primer, and sprayed with the same cabinet-grade enamel as the doors. The result is a uniform, durable cabinet finish with no brush marks, no roller texture, and a hand-feel that matches what you'd get from a high-end cabinet shop.
Most cabinet painting projects take 5–8 working days, and you have use of your kitchen for most of that time. We can also swap hinges and pulls, replace door styles with shaker or slab fronts from a local supplier, and coordinate the cabinet refinish with a kitchen wall repaint, trim work, or a new backsplash so everything finishes together.
Why cabinet refinishing beats new cabinets for most kitchens
New stock kitchen cabinets typically run $8,000–$15,000 installed for an average kitchen, and semi-custom or custom cabinets routinely cross $25,000. Refinishing the same cabinets to a factory-smooth finish costs a fraction of that and is often complete in under two weeks — and the result looks brand new. For most homeowners in Gwinnett County, refinishing existing solid-wood cabinets is the single highest-ROI kitchen project available.
The cabinets that benefit most from refinishing are solid-wood doors and face frames (oak, maple, cherry, alder, birch). Thermofoil and melamine doors can also be refinished using specialty bonding primers, though we'll always recommend a test door first to make sure the finish takes.
Off-site spray, on-site protection
Every cabinet door, drawer front, and shelf is numbered, removed, and transported to our spray shop. There they're sanded, primed, and sprayed with cabinet-grade enamel in a controlled, dust-free environment — the same way a cabinet manufacturer would finish them.
The cabinet boxes that stay in your kitchen get the same level of care. We tape and plastic the surrounding walls, counters, appliances, and floor with 6-mil sheeting, vent the work area, and spray the boxes with the same enamel and the same color so doors and frames match perfectly when reinstalled.
Hardware, hinges, and door style upgrades
Most cabinet refinishing projects are a perfect time to swap dated hardware. We can reuse your existing pulls and hinges, install new ones you've purchased, or source modern brushed-nickel or matte-black hardware from a local supplier. We also partner with a door fabricator if you want to upgrade from raised-panel to shaker or slab fronts while keeping the original boxes — a full visual reset of the kitchen at a fraction of full-replacement cost.
