Before you repaint the cabinets, know what the project really involves.
Cabinet repainting can transform a kitchen, but the right result depends on the cabinet condition, existing finish, preparation required, color change, and the amount of detail in the project. This page breaks down what homeowners should expect before requesting a quote.
The first question isn't color. It's whether the existing cabinets are ready for repainting.
Cabinet repainting makes the most sense when the existing cabinet boxes and doors are still structurally sound and the surfaces can be properly cleaned and prepared. A dated color alone does not mean the cabinets need to be replaced.
Peeling finishes, heavy grease buildup, damaged surfaces, previous coatings, repairs, and major color changes can all affect the prep required. Lisa can evaluate the actual cabinets during the estimate before recommending the work.

The quote should reflect the actual number of surfaces, the existing finish, the amount of preparation, and the final look you're trying to achieve.
Door + drawer count
More doors, drawer fronts, frames, panels, islands, and detail surfaces increase the amount of preparation and finish work.
Existing finish + condition
Painted, stained, glossy, worn, greasy, peeling, or damaged surfaces can require different preparation before a new finish is applied.
Color change + project scope
A dramatic color change, cabinet repairs, kitchen wall painting, trim work, or other added scope can change the overall project.
The quote should make more sense once you understand the steps.
Cabinet repainting is a sequence of inspection, cleaning, preparation, coating, and final detail work. The exact prep can vary based on the existing cabinets.
Evaluate the existing cabinets
Look at the current finish, surface condition, wear, damage, and whether repainting is appropriate for the cabinets.
Clean the surfaces
Kitchen surfaces can collect grease, residue, and buildup that should be addressed before a new finish is applied.
Prepare the existing finish
Sanding, deglossing, repairs, or other preparation may be needed depending on the existing coating and cabinet condition.
Apply the cabinet finish
The coating system and application approach should match the actual surface and project requirements.
Inspect the final result
Visible surfaces, edges, details, and touchups are checked before the cabinet painting project is considered complete.
Use real project proof when deciding whether repainting is worth it.

Every kitchen has a different number of cabinet surfaces, existing coatings, wear, and preparation needs. That is why an estimate should be based on the actual project.
