What We Handle
This option works as a hybrid cabinet painting approach.
We remove your doors and drawer fronts and take them to our shop.
We:
✔ Clean and prep properly
✔ Prime and spray with professional equipment
✔ Apply a smooth, durable, factory-like finish
Because spraying is done in a controlled shop environment, your doors receive a cleaner, more even finish than typical at-home methods.
You prep and finish the cabinet boxes, bases, and frames at home.
This includes:
What You Handle
• Cleaning
• Sanding
• Priming
• Applying topcoat
Plan on 3–4 days for your portion.
Common Cabinet Problems This DIY Option Solves
• Outdated cabinet colors
• Cabinets that look worn or faded
• Kitchens that feel dark or dated
• Cabinets that are structurally fine but need a refresh
A DIY cabinet painting update with professionally sprayed doors can dramatically improve the look of your kitchen.
For DIY-ers
If you like the idea of tackling part of the project yourself and are confident that you can do it, our DIY Option is your best choice.
We take your doors and drawer-fronts to prep & spray at our shop, while you prep, sand, prime, and topcoat the cabinet boxes/bases/frames yourself. We supply a kit for you including primer, topcoat, cleaning supplies, rollers, etc. which will help make sure you are set up for success. Count on putting 3-4 days (roughly 30-35 hours) into your portion of the project but saving about 40% of the cost of our painting services!
Note: there will be a difference in texture between our work and yours, a rolled finish will never quite match a professional sprayed finish.

What Homeowners Are Saying
We were so tired of our old-fashioned oak cabinets. I knew we needed an update, but I was nervous about how it would turn out and how much it would cost. Well, they turned out beautiful!! Aimee helped me chose a color that would look nice and match the rest of the kitchen. She was on time for everything did an amazing job. I could not be happier with the results.

Important to Know Before Choosing DIY
We believe in being clear upfront.

A rolled finish will not perfectly match a professionally sprayed finish.
That difference is due to application methods.
