Cabinet Painting Across Greater Boston
New kitchen cabinets in a Boston home can run $15,000-$50,000 installed. Cabinet painting gives you a factory-smooth new finish on your existing cabinets for a fraction of that. We've done kitchens in Needham, Newton, Brookline, and all over MetroWest — the transformation is one of the most dramatic in residential painting.
Why Cabinet Painting Works
Most kitchen cabinets are structurally fine. The boxes are solid, the drawers work, the layout is good. They just look dated or worn. A professional spray-applied enamel finish gives you the look of new cabinets without the cost, mess, and disruption of a full kitchen renovation.
Our Cabinet Painting Process
This is not brush-and-roll painting. We remove all doors and drawer fronts, take them to our spray setup, clean and degrease every surface, apply a bonding primer, sand smooth between coats, and spray two finish coats of cabinet enamel. The result is a hard, factory-smooth finish that looks and feels like new cabinetry.
- Remove all doors, drawer fronts, and hardware
- Clean and degrease — kitchen grease is the biggest adhesion killer
- Fill and sand any damage
- Apply bonding primer to all surfaces
- Sand smooth between coats
- Spray two finish coats of cabinet-grade enamel
- Reinstall with new hardware if requested
