What cabinet painting costs
Cabinet painting is priced by the door and drawer count, with the box work and hardware on their own lines. The estimate lists the count so you can check it against your kitchen. No finished cabinet job is on the public price list yet, so the estimate carries the number.

What moves the price
- Door count is the number. A galley kitchen with 18 doors and 8 drawers is half the work of a big kitchen with 36 doors, and the price follows.
- Oak costs more than maple. Open grain needs a grain filler if you want a smooth finish, and that adds a step on every door.
- Two colors add a day. An island in a second color means a second spray setup and more masking.
- Kitchens in use take longer. We schedule the box work around your cooking and leave the doors in the shop until the last day.

Cost questions
- How long is my kitchen out of service?
- The doors are gone about a week. The boxes are brushed over two days and you can use the kitchen each evening. Hardware goes on the last day.
- Will it chip?
- Not with a bonding primer and a cabinet enamel. The failures you have seen were latex wall paint over a wipe down. We sand every door, prime with a bonding primer and spray a hard enamel that cures for two weeks.
- Can you paint thermofoil or laminate?
- Yes, if the thermofoil is not peeling. Peeling thermofoil comes off the door first, and we tell you which doors need that when we look.
How the work itself goes is on the cabinet painting page.
