Hear from Our Customers
Your kitchen becomes the heart of your home again. No more avoiding that space because your cabinets look tired and dated. Instead, you walk into a kitchen that feels fresh, modern, and completely yours.
The transformation happens faster than you’d expect. Within just a few days, what used to be worn-out cabinet doors become smooth, vibrant surfaces that complement your Bloomfield Hills lifestyle. You get the high-end look without months of construction dust or the massive expense of full replacement.
Most homeowners are shocked at how much their entire kitchen changes when the cabinets get properly refinished. It’s not just about color—it’s about reclaiming a space you actually want to spend time in.
Legends Construction has been perfecting painting projects for over a decade, with our current team operating in the Bloomfield Hills area for two years. What sets us apart isn’t just experience—it’s our approach of doing every job like it’s going in our own home.
We understand what Bloomfield Hills homeowners expect. This isn’t a community where “good enough” works. Residents here value quality, attention to detail, and results that enhance rather than compromise their property values.
Every project gets the same meticulous attention, whether it’s a small kitchen refresh or a complete cabinet transformation. Our goal is simple: make sure you’re so satisfied with the work that calling us again for future projects is an easy decision.
Our process starts with a thorough assessment of your existing cabinets. Every surface gets properly cleaned and prepped—this step makes the difference between paint that lasts years versus paint that chips within months.
Next comes the detailed prep work. Cabinet doors and hardware get removed, surfaces are carefully sanded, and any imperfections are addressed. Then primer goes on to ensure the new finish bonds properly and won’t peel or chip under daily use.
The final painting uses professional-grade materials and techniques. Multiple coats get applied with proper drying time between each one. When everything’s reassembled, you get cabinets that look factory-fresh and are built to handle whatever your kitchen throws at them for years to come.

Professional cabinet painting in Bloomfield Hills typically ranges from $3,000 to $6,500 for a standard kitchen, depending on the number of cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and the condition of your existing cabinets. This cost includes all prep work, primer, paint, and labor.
The price varies based on your kitchen size and cabinet complexity. A smaller kitchen with 15-20 cabinet faces usually costs less than a large kitchen with 40+ doors and drawers. Additional factors like cabinet condition and paint color choice can also influence the final price.
Compared to cabinet replacement, which often costs $15,000-$30,000 or more, painting offers significant savings while still delivering that fresh, updated look you’re after. Most Bloomfield Hills homeowners find the investment pays for itself in increased home value and daily enjoyment of their transformed kitchen.
Most cabinet painting projects in Bloomfield Hills take 3-5 business days from start to finish. The timeline depends on the size of your kitchen, number of cabinet doors, and drying time required between coats.
Day one typically involves removing doors and hardware, then cleaning and prepping all surfaces. Days two and three focus on primer application and the first paint coat. The final days involve additional paint coats and reassembly once everything has properly cured.
Weather and humidity can affect drying times, so the timeline might extend slightly during certain seasons. However, your kitchen remains functional throughout most of the process since cabinet boxes stay in place and only doors are temporarily removed for optimal finishing.
High-quality acrylic enamel paints specifically designed for cabinets work best for Bloomfield Hills kitchens. These paints provide durability, smooth finish, and resistance to moisture, grease, and daily wear that kitchen cabinets endure.
Professional-grade cabinet paints cure harder than standard wall paints, creating a surface that can handle frequent cleaning and use. The finish should be semi-gloss or satin to balance durability with appearance—glossy enough to clean easily but not so shiny that every fingerprint shows.
Premium paint brands offer better coverage, longer-lasting color, and superior adhesion compared to budget options. While the upfront cost is higher, quality paint means your cabinet transformation lasts longer and maintains its appearance better over time, making it a smart investment for your Bloomfield Hills home.
Most kitchen cabinets can be painted successfully, including wood, MDF, and even laminate surfaces with proper preparation. However, the prep work varies significantly depending on your cabinet material and current finish.
Solid wood cabinets are ideal for painting since they accept primer and paint well. Laminate cabinets require special bonding primers and more careful surface preparation, but they can still achieve excellent results. Cabinets with deep grain or heavy texture might need additional prep work to achieve a smooth final finish.
The key is honest assessment of your cabinet condition. Cabinets with structural damage, severe wear, or failing joints might be better candidates for replacement rather than painting. A professional evaluation can determine whether painting will give you the results you’re looking for or if other options would serve you better.
Preparing your kitchen for cabinet painting involves clearing out all cabinet contents and removing small appliances from countertops. This gives our painting crew full access to work efficiently and prevents your belongings from getting damaged during the process.
You should also remove or secure any valuable items from the kitchen area and plan for limited kitchen use during the project. While cabinet boxes remain functional, you’ll have reduced storage and workspace while doors are being finished off-site.
We handle the heavy prep work like removing doors, hardware, and protecting your countertops and appliances. However, clearing your cabinets and preparing the space beforehand helps the project start smoothly and stay on schedule. We can provide a specific prep checklist based on your kitchen layout and project scope.
Professionally painted cabinets using high-quality materials can last 10-15 years with proper care, often outlasting some new cabinet finishes. The key is using proper preparation techniques, premium primers, and cabinet-specific paints designed for durability.
The longevity depends on the quality of prep work and materials used. Professional painting with 2-component (2K) paints creates an extremely durable finish that resists chipping, scratching, and moisture damage better than many factory finishes on new cabinets.
Regular cleaning with appropriate products and avoiding harsh chemicals helps maintain the finish. Most Bloomfield Hills homeowners find that professionally painted cabinets not only hold up well but continue looking fresh and vibrant for many years, making cabinet painting a smart long-term investment compared to the much higher cost of replacement.
