You walk into your kitchen and actually smile. The cabinets look brand new, the finish is smooth and durable, and you saved over $15,000 compared to replacement. Your neighbors ask who did the work because it looks so professional.
That’s what happens when you choose cabinet painting over cabinet replacement. Your kitchen gets the modern look you want without the massive expense, lengthy timeline, or construction chaos. The transformation is immediate and dramatic.
Most Southfield homeowners are shocked at how much cabinet painting can change their entire kitchen. It’s not just about color – it’s about breathing new life into the heart of your home while keeping thousands in your pocket.
We’ve been transforming Southfield kitchens with over 10 years of painting experience behind us. We’re not the biggest company in town, and we’re not trying to be.
What we are is two brothers who believe in doing the job right the first time. We’ve been serving homeowners in Southfield and surrounding areas for two years now, focusing on quality work at competitive pricing.
Southfield’s unique housing stock – with many homes built in the late 1960s and beyond – means we understand exactly what these cabinets need. We’ve worked on everything from the classic ranch homes in Plum Hollow Estates to the modern updates throughout the city.
First, we remove all cabinet doors and hardware to ensure optimal results. Everything gets cleaned, sanded, and properly prepped – this step makes or breaks the entire project.
Next comes the primer. We use high-quality products specifically designed for kitchen cabinets that will handle daily use, moisture, and cleaning. No shortcuts here.
Then we apply multiple coats of durable cabinet-grade paint using professional spray equipment. This eliminates brush marks and gives you that smooth, factory-like finish. While doors are being painted off-site, we carefully paint the cabinet frames in place, protecting your counters and floors.
Final step is reassembly with your existing hardware (or new hardware if you’re upgrading). We do a thorough cleanup and walkthrough to make sure everything meets our standards and yours.

Your cabinet painting project includes complete preparation, primer, multiple coats of premium cabinet paint, and professional application. We handle the removal and reinstallation of doors and hardware.
In Southfield, we see a lot of cabinets from the 1970s and 1980s that just need the right treatment to look contemporary again. Many of these solid wood cabinets are actually better quality than what you’d buy new today – they just need updated finishes.
We also work with the popular kitchen trends we’re seeing in Southfield homes: clean whites, warm grays, and even bold navy or forest green for homeowners wanting something more dramatic. The key is choosing colors that work with your existing countertops, backsplash, and overall style.
Every project gets the same attention to detail whether it’s a small galley kitchen or a large open-concept space. The goal is always the same: results that make you forget these aren’t brand new cabinets.
Cabinet painting typically runs $2,500-$3,500 for an average Southfield kitchen, while cabinet replacement starts around $15,000 and can easily hit $25,000 or more. You’re looking at saving 80-85% of replacement costs.
The exact price depends on how many cabinets you have, their current condition, and any prep work needed. Most of our Southfield clients are amazed at the value – they get a completely transformed kitchen for a fraction of replacement cost.
We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what’s included, so you know what you’re paying for upfront.
Most cabinet painting projects in Southfield take 3-5 days from start to finish. Day one is removal and prep, days two and three are painting (doors go off-site), and day four is reassembly and touch-ups.
Your kitchen stays mostly functional during the process. You’ll have access to your sink, appliances, and storage – just not the cabinet doors temporarily.
Weather and project complexity can affect timing slightly, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process.
Absolutely, when done with the right products and process. We use cabinet-grade paints specifically formulated for kitchen environments – they resist moisture, grease, heat, and daily cleaning.
The key is proper preparation and using professional-grade materials. Cheap paint or skipped prep steps lead to chipping and peeling within months. Our process includes thorough cleaning, sanding, priming, and multiple finish coats.
Most of our Southfield clients are using their newly painted cabinets heavily after two years with no issues. We stand behind our work because we know it’s done right.
We can match existing colors if you want consistency, or help you choose something completely new. Many Southfield homeowners use cabinet painting as a chance to update their whole kitchen’s look.
Popular choices right now include crisp whites, warm grays, and even bold colors like navy or sage green. We’ll consider your countertops, backsplash, flooring, and lighting to recommend colors that work well together.
We can also show you samples and do small test areas if you’re unsure. The goal is cabinets you’ll love for years to come.
We work on most cabinet types including solid wood, wood veneer, and laminate. Many Southfield homes have solid wood cabinets from the 1970s-80s that are perfect candidates for painting.
The main requirement is that the cabinets are structurally sound. If doors are sagging or boxes are falling apart, painting won’t fix those underlying issues – but most cabinets just need a fresh finish.
We’ll assess your specific cabinets during the estimate and let you know if there are any concerns or if minor repairs are needed before painting.
Cabinet painting involves applying a new color over properly prepared existing cabinets. Cabinet refinishing typically means stripping old finish and applying stain to show the natural wood grain.
Most Southfield clients choose painting because it gives them more color options and covers any existing wear or damage. Refinishing works best on high-quality wood cabinets where you want to showcase the natural grain.
Both processes require similar preparation and skill levels. We can discuss which approach makes more sense for your specific cabinets and the look you’re trying to achieve.
