Kitchen Cabinet Painting & Refinishing

Our 2026 prices for most kitchens fall between $4,250 and $10,500, driven by the number of doors and drawer fronts. A small kitchen with 15–20 pieces is $4,250–$5,500; a large kitchen with 30 or more pieces is $8,050–$10,500. See the price table on this page and our cabinet cost guide for details.

A typical kitchen takes one to two weeks from removal to reinstall. Your kitchen stays usable for most of that time; the frames are sprayed over one or two days, and doors return once they can be handled without marking.

If the cabinet boxes are solid wood or plywood, square and in good repair, painting typically costs a fraction of new cabinets and keeps your countertops and backsplash in place. We tell you at the walkthrough if your boxes are not good candidates.

Some grain texture shows on oak doors after painting. It can be reduced with a grain filler or extra primer coats if you want a smoother, slab-like look; we price that as an option.

With proper degreasing, a shellac or bonding primer and a urethane-modified enamel, painted cabinets hold up to normal kitchen use for many years. The finish keeps hardening for a few weeks after install, so treat it gently for the first month.

Yes. Vanities follow the same process — doors and drawers removed and sprayed, boxes sprayed in place — and are often done alongside a bathroom repaint.
