Hear from Our Customers
You walk into a kitchen that looks like it belongs in a magazine. The cabinets that once made your space feel outdated now anchor a room that feels fresh, modern, and valuable. Your friends notice immediately—and so do potential buyers if you’re thinking ahead.
This isn’t about slapping paint on wood and hoping for the best. Professional cabinet painting in Farmington Hills transforms the heart of your home while you keep the solid construction you already own. You get the visual impact of a full renovation without the months of disruption, the dust, or the five-figure price tag.
The result? A kitchen that works better for your daily life and adds real value to your Farmington Hills home—the kind of update that makes sense in a market where homes sell in two weeks.
Legends Construction brings over a decade of painting expertise to Farmington Hills kitchens. This isn’t a side business or weekend venture—it’s what we do, day in and day out, with the kind of attention that comes from owners who stake our reputation on every project.
We’ve been serving the Farmington Hills area for two years, but our experience runs much deeper. We understand the homes here—from the mid-century ranches that define many neighborhoods to the colonials that command premium prices. We know what works in this market and what buyers expect when they’re paying Farmington Hills prices.
Quality work and competitive pricing aren’t just talking points. They’re the foundation of a business built on customers who call back and refer their neighbors.
Our work starts with a thorough assessment of your cabinets—not every surface is ready for paint, and cutting corners here shows later. We’ll identify any repairs needed and walk you through exactly what the process will involve for your specific kitchen.
Preparation is where the quality shows. Cabinet doors and drawers are removed and properly prepared off-site when possible, while frames are carefully masked and prepped in place. The right primer, the right paint, and the right technique mean a finish that stands up to daily use instead of chipping after six months.
The painting itself uses professional-grade materials designed specifically for kitchen cabinets—not wall paint that happens to come in the color you want. Multiple coats, proper curing time, and attention to detail result in a finish that looks factory-applied and lasts like it too.

Professional cabinet painting covers every visible surface—doors, drawer fronts, frames, and interior edges that show when doors are open. Our service includes hardware removal and reinstallation, though many homeowners use this opportunity to upgrade to modern handles and hinges that complement their new finish.
In Farmington Hills, where kitchen updates can significantly impact home values, our work includes color consultation to ensure your choice enhances your specific space and appeals to the local market. Whether you’re in one of the established ranch neighborhoods or the more upscale areas with larger colonials, the finish needs to match your home’s character and the area’s expectations.
Our process accommodates your schedule as much as possible—most projects complete within a week, and your kitchen remains functional throughout most of the work. You’re not dealing with the extended disruption that comes with full renovations, just the brief inconvenience that leads to years of improved daily living.
Cabinet painting typically costs 60-70% less than full replacement while delivering similar visual impact. In the Farmington Hills market, where quality matters and budgets vary widely, professional cabinet painting runs a fraction of the $15,000-$30,000+ you’d spend on new cabinetry.
The exact cost depends on your kitchen size, the current condition of your cabinets, and the finish you choose. Most Farmington Hills homeowners find the investment pays for itself through increased home value—minor kitchen updates like cabinet painting consistently deliver strong returns when it’s time to sell.
You’re essentially getting a kitchen transformation that buyers notice and value without the massive expense and disruption of starting from scratch.
Most cabinet painting projects in Farmington Hills complete within 5-7 days, depending on kitchen size and the scope of work. Your kitchen remains largely functional throughout the process since much of the detailed work happens off-site or during specific phases.
The timeline includes proper preparation, priming, painting, and curing time—rushing any of these steps compromises the final result. We work efficiently while ensuring each coat has adequate time to cure properly.
You’ll have limited access during certain phases, but this isn’t the weeks-long disruption of a full renovation. Most families find they can maintain their normal routines with minor adjustments during the painting process.
Professional cabinet painting using proper materials and techniques creates a durable finish that withstands daily kitchen demands. The key is using cabinet-specific paints and finishes designed for high-moisture, high-use environments—not standard wall paint.
Quality cabinet paint resists grease, moisture, heat, and frequent cleaning when applied correctly over properly prepared surfaces. The finish should look and perform like factory-applied paint, not like a temporary cosmetic fix that starts failing within months.
In busy Farmington Hills kitchens where families cook regularly and entertain frequently, properly painted cabinets maintain their appearance for years with normal care. The durability comes from using the right products and following proven preparation and application processes.
Most existing cabinet finishes can be painted over with proper preparation, though the specific approach depends on your current finish and its condition. Laminate, previously painted wood, and most stained finishes respond well to professional preparation and priming techniques.
The key is thorough cleaning, light sanding to create adhesion, and using a high-quality primer designed for your specific surface. Stripping is rarely necessary unless the existing finish is severely damaged, peeling extensively, or incompatible with modern paint systems.
A professional assessment determines the best approach for your specific cabinets. The goal is always the most durable, long-lasting result, which sometimes means additional prep work upfront but eliminates problems down the road.
In the Farmington Hills market, classic colors tend to offer the broadest appeal and strongest value retention. Whites, off-whites, and warm grays consistently perform well with buyers and complement the area’s mix of traditional and updated homes.
The finish matters as much as the color—semi-gloss and satin finishes offer the right balance of durability and appearance for kitchen cabinets. They clean easily, resist moisture, and provide the subtle sheen that buyers expect in updated kitchens.
While bold colors can work beautifully, neutral choices typically offer better resale value in Farmington Hills’ competitive market. We provide professional consultation that considers your home’s style, your neighborhood’s character, and current market preferences to guide your decision.
Our cabinet painting service includes removing and reinstalling existing hardware, and many homeowners choose this opportunity to upgrade to modern handles, knobs, and hinges. Updated hardware can dramatically enhance the overall transformation and is often the most cost-effective upgrade you can make.
New hardware installation is straightforward when the new pieces match existing hole patterns. When you want a completely different style or configuration, additional work may be needed to fill old holes and drill new ones—but the impact on your kitchen’s appearance makes it worthwhile.
Hardware selection matters in the Farmington Hills market where details count. We provide professional guidance to help you choose pieces that complement your new finish and appeal to local buyer preferences while staying within your budget.
