Cabinet Painting & Refinishing
Transform kitchen and bathroom cabinetry with a smooth, durable, factory-grade finish without the cost of full replacement.
Overview & Approach
Kitchen cabinets are the focal point of the home. Replacing them often costs tens of thousands of dollars and disrupts family life for weeks. Sarah the Painter provides meticulous cabinet painting and refinishing that delivers a modern, ultra-smooth, resilient finish tailored to your kitchen or bath layout.
What This Service Involves
- Careful hardware removal, numbering, and cataloging
- Thorough degreasing, deep cleaning, and de-glossing
- Surface profiling, fine sanding, and flaw filling
- High-adhesion stain-blocking bonding primer application
- Multiple finish coats formulated specifically for high-touch cabinetry
- Reassembly, hardware reinstall, and door alignment
Cabinet durability depends almost entirely on the preparation stage. We meticulously clean every trace of cooking oils and grease, sand surfaces to create a mechanical tooth, and use specialized cabinet coatings that cure to a hard, wipeable finish resistant to fingerprints and everyday kitchen moisture.
Note: Project suitability, existing coatings, and necessary preparation are thoroughly assessed during your on-site estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical cabinet painting project take?
Most residential kitchens take between 4 to 7 business days, depending on the door count, whether doors are processed offsite, and drying/curing cycles.
Will brush marks or roller textures show?
We use professional application methods and leveling coatings designed to dry into a smooth, even, factory-quality appearance.
Can oak cabinets with heavy grain be painted smoothly?
Yes. Oak can be painted directly for a subtle wood texture, or we can discuss grain-filling options during your estimate if a smoother profile is desired.
