Hear from Our Customers
Picture walking into your kitchen and actually loving what you see. No more cringing at those outdated cabinets or feeling embarrassed when friends come over.
With professional cabinet painting, you get a kitchen that feels brand new without the chaos of a full remodel. Your cabinets become a focal point you’re proud of, not something you’re constantly planning to “eventually replace.”
The best part? You’ll have this transformation completed in days, not the months of disruption that come with cabinet replacement. Your kitchen stays functional while we work, and you get to enjoy the results immediately.
We bring over 10 years of painting expertise to every cabinet project in Pontiac, MI. We’ve been perfecting our craft long enough to know what works and what doesn’t.
Our approach is straightforward: deliver quality work at competitive pricing, and make sure every customer is satisfied enough to call us again. That’s how we’ve built our reputation in the Pontiac area.
We understand that your kitchen is the heart of your home. When you trust us with your cabinet painting project, you’re getting craftsmen who treat your home with the same care we’d want for our own families.
We start with a thorough assessment of your cabinets and discuss your color preferences and timeline. No surprises, no pressure – just honest conversation about what your project involves.
Next comes the preparation work, which is where most DIY projects fail. We properly clean, sand, and prime every surface to ensure the paint adheres correctly and lasts for years. This step takes time, but it’s what separates a professional job from one that starts peeling in six months.
The painting process itself uses professional-grade equipment and techniques. We apply multiple coats as needed, allowing proper drying time between each application. Finally, we reinstall all hardware and do a complete cleanup, leaving you with a transformed kitchen and no mess to deal with.

Every cabinet painting project includes complete surface preparation, professional-grade primer application, and multiple coats of high-quality paint. We handle all the detail work – removing and reinstalling doors, drawers, and hardware.
For Pontiac homeowners, we understand the climate challenges your cabinets face. Michigan’s humidity changes and temperature swings can be tough on painted surfaces, which is why we use paints specifically chosen for durability in our local conditions.
We also know that Pontiac families need their kitchens functional during the work process. That’s why we plan our work in phases, ensuring you can still prepare meals and access essentials while we transform your space. Most projects are completed within a week, getting you back to normal life quickly.
Professional cabinet painting typically lasts 8-10 years with proper care and maintenance. This compares favorably to cabinet replacement, which might last 15-20 years but costs three times as much upfront.
The key to longevity is proper preparation and using high-quality materials. We use paints specifically designed for high-use areas like kitchens, which resist chipping, moisture damage, and daily wear.
With reasonable care – avoiding harsh cleaners and wiping up spills promptly – your painted cabinets will maintain their appearance for nearly a decade. At that point, you can choose to repaint again for a fresh look or finally invest in replacement if your needs have changed.
Cabinet painting typically costs about one-third the price of cabinet replacement. For an average 10×10 kitchen in Pontiac, painting runs around $3,000-5,000, while replacement often exceeds $15,000-20,000.
The math is straightforward: painting costs roughly $175 per cabinet door, while replacement averages $525 per door before installation. When you factor in the additional costs of new hardware, installation labor, and potential plumbing or electrical adjustments, replacement becomes significantly more expensive.
For most Pontiac homeowners, cabinet painting delivers 75% of the visual impact of replacement at 30% of the cost. That’s why it’s become such a popular kitchen update option for families who want results without breaking their budget.
Most kitchen cabinets can be painted successfully, but the preparation process varies depending on the material and current condition. Wood cabinets, laminate, and even some metal cabinets respond well to professional painting when properly prepared.
The biggest challenges come with heavily damaged cabinets or those with deep grain patterns that require extensive prep work. Cabinets with significant water damage, structural issues, or missing pieces might be better candidates for replacement rather than painting.
During our initial assessment, we’ll be honest about what your cabinets can achieve through painting. If we don’t think painting will give you the results you want, we’ll tell you upfront rather than take on a project that won’t meet your expectations.
Color selection depends on your kitchen’s lighting, existing finishes, and personal style preferences. We recommend starting with your countertops and backsplash as anchor points, then choosing cabinet colors that complement rather than compete with these elements.
Popular choices in Pontiac include classic whites for timeless appeal, soft grays for modern sophistication, and bold colors like navy or forest green for dramatic impact. Two-tone approaches – lighter upper cabinets with darker lowers – are also trending and can make smaller kitchens feel larger.
We always recommend testing colors in your actual lighting conditions before making final decisions. What looks perfect in a showroom might appear different under your kitchen’s specific lighting throughout the day.
Homeowner preparation is minimal – we handle the heavy lifting. You’ll need to remove items from inside cabinets and clear countertops, but we take care of removing doors, drawers, and hardware for proper painting access.
We protect your floors, appliances, and surrounding areas with professional-grade coverings. All the sanding, cleaning, and surface prep work is part of our service, so you don’t need to worry about getting your cabinets “paint-ready” beforehand.
The main thing we ask is that you plan for limited kitchen access during the work period. While we work in phases to minimize disruption, there will be times when certain cabinets or areas are temporarily off-limits as paint cures properly.
Most cabinet painting projects in Pontiac are completed within 3-5 business days, and you can resume normal kitchen use immediately after we finish. However, we recommend being gentle with doors and drawers for the first week as the paint fully cures.
During the actual painting process, we work in sections so you maintain access to essential items. Typically, you can still use your sink, refrigerator, and basic cooking appliances throughout most of the project timeline.
The curing process continues for about 30 days after completion, during which the paint reaches maximum hardness and durability. During this period, avoid heavy scrubbing or harsh cleaners, but normal cooking activities and light cleaning are perfectly fine.
