How Long Does Cabinet Painting Take?
Timelines for cabinet painting depend on a few factors, including type of wood being refinished, number of door and drawers, condition of cabinets, and scope of work.
​
For most kitchens, our cabinet painting process can take 5-8 days.
How much does cabinet painting cost?
Cabinet painting costs depend on the number of cabinets, door and drawer count, surface condition, preparation requirements, type of wood, and others factors. Depending on general size of kitchen, homeowners can expect kitchen or bathroom cabinet painting to cost roughly...
​
-
$5500-6500 for small sized kitchens
-
$7000-8000 for medium sized kitchens
-
$8000-10,000 for larger sized kitchens
What type of paint is best for cabinets?
The best cabinet paint is designed specifically for durability and adhesion. Professional cabinet coatings are selected based on hardness, smoothness, and resistance to wear. Product selection is discussed during the estimate process.
​
We use either hard-curing 1k paints (Centurion 400 series, Gallery Series, etc) or 2k products for extra durability (Novalk 932 w/iso free hardener, Envirolak 200 series w/ iso free crosslinker, etc).
​
The best paint possible for kitchen cabinet painting are 2k polyurethanes such as Centurion 2800 series; however we refrain from spraying these in our clients homes as they contain dangerous isocyanates which are harmful for our painters and potentially our homeowners as well.
What preparation is required for cabinet painting?
Cabinet preparation typically includes removing doors and hardware, cleaning and degreasing surfaces, sanding or deglossing existing finishes, and priming as needed. Proper preparation is critical for a durable cabinet finish.
​
At Paint to Life, we thoroughly clean cabinets with degreaser and water, scuff sand all surfaces, fill imperfections with wood filler, and apply 2 coats of cabinet-grade primer. This all ensures a long lasting, beautiful base for our topcoats.
