Professional Cabinet Painting Services
Transform Your Cabinets — Without the Cost of Replacement
Your cabinets play a huge role in the look and feel of your home — especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and built-in storage spaces. But over time, cabinet finishes can become outdated, worn, or simply not reflect your current style. That’s where Kovar Painting & Remodeling comes in.
We offer professional cabinet painting services that give your cabinetry a fresh, modern look at a fraction of the cost of replacing them. Whether you’re going for crisp white, modern gray, a deep navy, or a custom color — we help bring your vision to life with long-lasting, factory-smooth results.
Why Choose Cabinet Painting Over Replacing?
Replacing cabinets can be a massive, expensive, and disruptive project — often costing tens of thousands of dollars and taking weeks to complete. Cabinet painting, on the other hand, offers:
Huge Cost Savings
Painting your cabinets can save 50–80% compared to replacement or refacing.
Faster Turnaround Time
Most cabinet painting projects are completed in just a few days, with minimal disruption.
Customization & Modernization
Choose any color, sheen, or style — we help you update your cabinets to match your dream design.
Eco-Friendly Choice
Keep your existing cabinets out of landfills and reduce waste by giving them a new life.
With the right products and techniques, painted cabinets look just as good as new ones — and hold up beautifully for years.
Our Cabinet Painting Services
We specialize in residential cabinet painting and refinishing, transforming both the look and durability of your existing cabinets. We paint:
- Kitchen Cabinets
- Bathroom Vanities
- Built-In Shelving & Bookcases
- Laundry Room & Mudroom Cabinets
- Garage Cabinets & Storage Units
- Wood, Laminate, or MDF Cabinets
Whether your cabinets are stained wood, previously painted, or factory-finished, we use professional prep, priming, and coating systems to ensure exceptional adhesion and a smooth, flawless finish.
Our Cabinet Painting Process
At Kovar Painting & Remodeling, we follow a proven process that delivers factory-like results — no brush marks, no peeling, and no shortcuts.
1. Free Estimate & Color Consultation
We start with a walkthrough of your space to assess your cabinets, answer your questions, and discuss your vision. Then we provide a transparent, detailed quote with no surprises.
Need help choosing the perfect color or finish? We offer expert guidance based on your countertops, backsplash, flooring, and lighting.
2. Cabinet Preparation & Labeling
Before painting, we label, number, and remove all cabinet doors and drawers to ensure accurate reassembly. We also mask off surrounding areas to protect walls, counters, and floors.
3. Cleaning & Degreasing
Cabinet surfaces — especially in kitchens — must be thoroughly cleaned to remove years of grease, grime, and buildup. We use industrial-strength degreasers to create a clean surface for paint to bond.
4. Sanding & Repair
We carefully sand all surfaces to promote adhesion, then repair any dents, cracks, or imperfections in the wood. This is critical for a smooth, professional-looking final result.
5. Priming
We apply a high-adhesion bonding primer designed for cabinets. This helps seal the surface and ensures the topcoat sticks evenly and lasts longer.
6. Professional Painting Application
We apply two or more coats of premium cabinet-grade paint, using spraying equipment (for smooth, brush-free results) or a combination of spraying and back-rolling where appropriate. All products used are formulated for durability, scratch resistance, and moisture tolerance.
You can choose your desired sheen (matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss), and we’ll recommend the best fit for your space and usage.
7. Curing, Reassembly & Clean-Up
After drying and curing, we reinstall all cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware (or new hardware if you’re upgrading). We clean up the entire work area and walk through the finished project with you to ensure you’re 100% satisfied.
Premium Products. Lasting Results.
We use only high-quality, cabinet-specific paints and primers from trusted brands like:
- Benjamin Moore Advance
- Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane
- Behr Alkyd Enamel
- Specialty lacquer and conversion varnish options (for ultra-durable, commercial-grade finishes)
These products are specially engineered for cabinetry and deliver a hard, furniture-like finish that resists peeling, chipping, staining, and wear.
Cabinet Painting vs. Cabinet Refacing vs. Replacement
| Service | Cost | Time | Look | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Painting | $ | Fast | Fresh look, same layout | Most homeowners |
| Refacing | $$ | Medium | New doors, same boxes | If doors are badly damaged |
| Replacement | $$$$ | Long | Total remodel | Full kitchen overhaul |
Cabinet painting is the best choice for most homeowners who are happy with the layout but want an updated look at a reasonable cost.
