Picture walking into your kitchen next week and barely recognizing it. Those tired, dated cabinets that made your space feel stuck in the past now anchor a room that’s warm, welcoming, and exactly what you’ve been wanting.
You didn’t spend months living without a functional kitchen. You didn’t take out a second mortgage. You saved $15,000 to $25,000 compared to replacement while getting professional results that’ll last 7-10 years.
This is what happens when cabinet painting is done right in Birmingham. No construction chaos, no weeks of takeout dinners, no budget-busting surprises.
We bring over a decade of painting expertise to Birmingham homes. We’re two brothers who started Legends Construction on a simple belief: Birmingham homeowners deserve quality work at fair prices.
We’ve earned our 4.9-star rating by treating every cabinet painting project like it’s our own kitchen. Birmingham residents know the value of doing things right the first time, and that’s exactly what we deliver.
Our reputation in Oakland County is built one satisfied customer at a time, because we know your kitchen is the heart of your home.
We start with a consultation at your Birmingham home to understand your vision and assess your cabinets. You’ll see color samples and discuss options that work with your space, lifestyle, and budget.
The preparation work separates professional results from DIY disasters. We remove doors and hardware, clean all surfaces, make necessary repairs, and perform the sanding and priming that creates a foundation for lasting results.
Your doors get painted in our controlled environment using premium paints and professional spray equipment. Meanwhile, your kitchen stays functional. Installation takes one day, and you’re back to normal life with a completely transformed space.

Every cabinet painting project includes complete surface preparation, premium paint application, and professional installation. We handle removing and reinstalling hardware, protecting your countertops and floors, and ensuring clean lines around every detail.
Birmingham homeowners are embracing trends we see throughout Southeast Oakland County. The stark white kitchens are giving way to warm neutrals like greige and soft whites. Two-tone designs create visual interest, while matte finishes offer sophisticated elegance without showing every fingerprint.
Your project typically takes 5-7 days from start to finish, with your kitchen remaining largely functional throughout. You get factory-quality results that resist scratches and moisture, backed by our commitment to your complete satisfaction.
Cabinet painting costs 60-70% less than full replacement. For an average Birmingham kitchen, you’re looking at savings of $15,000 to $25,000 or more.
New cabinets can easily cost $20,000-$30,000 when you factor in installation, countertop adjustments, plumbing modifications, and other changes that come with full replacement. Professional cabinet painting delivers a complete transformation for a fraction of that investment. You get increased home value and a kitchen that looks and feels brand new without the massive expense.
Professionally painted cabinets last 7-10 years with normal family use, often longer with proper care. The difference is in the materials and process we use.
We use premium paints specifically formulated for cabinetry, not wall paint. Combined with proper surface preparation that ensures strong adhesion, this creates a factory-quality finish that stands up to daily life. Many Birmingham homeowners find their painted cabinets still look excellent well beyond the 10-year mark. Regular cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals help maintain that fresh appearance.
Birmingham homeowners are moving away from stark white toward warmer, more welcoming colors. We’re painting lots of warm neutrals like greige, soft whites with subtle undertones, and sophisticated two-tone combinations.
Navy blues remain popular for lower cabinets paired with lighter uppers. Sage greens and other nature-inspired colors are trending, especially in Birmingham’s established neighborhoods. Matte finishes are overtaking high-gloss because they’re more forgiving and create sophisticated elegance. The key is choosing colors that complement your existing countertops and overall home style.
Most Birmingham cabinet painting projects take 5-7 days with minimal disruption to your routine. Your kitchen stays largely functional throughout the process.
We remove doors and drawers to paint them in our controlled environment while painting cabinet boxes in place. The most disruptive day is typically installation day, but even then, you’re usually back to normal kitchen use by evening. This is dramatically less disruptive than the 4-8 weeks typical for full cabinet replacement, which often requires temporary kitchen setups.
Most cabinets can be painted successfully, but material and condition determine the approach. Solid wood, plywood, and laminate cabinets typically paint beautifully with proper preparation. Thermofoil or vinyl-wrapped cabinets are more challenging because the coating can peel.
We assess your cabinets during our Birmingham consultation to determine the best approach. If cabinet boxes are solid but doors are beyond saving, we can recommend door replacement combined with painting existing boxes. This still saves thousands compared to full replacement while delivering excellent results that transform your kitchen.
We provide a comprehensive warranty covering both materials and workmanship on all Birmingham cabinet painting projects. Specific terms depend on the products used and project scope, which we discuss during your consultation.
Our warranty reflects confidence in our preparation process and premium materials. We use cabinet-specific paints and proven application methods that prevent common problems like peeling or chipping. Most issues, when they occur, happen within the first year due to adhesion problems – which proper preparation prevents. We stand behind our work because your satisfaction is our reputation in Birmingham.
