You’re tired of looking at those dated cabinets every morning. The wood stain that seemed trendy in the ’90s now screams “needs updating,” but a full kitchen remodel isn’t in the budget.
Here’s what happens when you choose professional cabinet painting instead of living with what you have. Your kitchen becomes the space you’ve been wanting—bright, modern, and actually functional for your family’s daily routine.
No more avoiding the kitchen because it feels outdated. No more apologizing to guests about the cabinets you’ve been “meaning to update.” Just a clean, fresh space that makes cooking and gathering feel good again.
We’ve been handling painting projects for over a decade, with Legends Construction operating for two years in the Keego Harbor area. We’re a family operation—two brothers who understand that your kitchen isn’t just another job to us.
Most of Keego Harbor’s homes were built around 1970, and we know exactly what those original cabinets need to look fresh again. We’ve worked in enough local kitchens to understand the common issues: wood that needs proper prep, hardware that should be updated, and finishes that need to withstand Michigan’s humidity changes.
Quality work at competitive pricing isn’t just our tagline—it’s how we’ve built our reputation. We want you calling us again, which means doing the job right the first time.
First, we remove your cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Everything gets labeled so it goes back exactly where it belongs. Your cabinet boxes get masked and protected so your dishes and kitchen items stay clean.
Next comes the prep work that separates professional results from DIY disasters. We sand every surface, fill any dings or scratches, and clean everything thoroughly. This step takes time, but it’s why our paint jobs last years instead of months.
Finally, we apply primer and paint using professional-grade materials. Multiple thin coats instead of one thick coat. The doors get painted in our controlled environment while the boxes get finished on-site. Everything gets reassembled with attention to detail that makes the difference between “good enough” and “exactly right.”
Ready to get started?
Your cabinet painting project includes complete surface preparation, professional-grade primer and paint, and careful reassembly of all components. We handle the details that matter: proper sanding, thorough cleaning, and multiple coat application.
In Keego Harbor’s lakeside climate, moisture can be tough on painted surfaces. We use paints specifically chosen for kitchen environments—ones that resist humidity, clean easily, and maintain their appearance through daily use. The finish we apply isn’t just about looks; it’s about durability for busy family kitchens.
You’ll also get our attention to the small things that make a big difference. Hardware alignment, smooth door operation, and clean paint lines where cabinets meet walls and countertops. These details separate professional work from amateur attempts.
Cabinet painting costs typically range from $30 to $60 per linear foot in the Michigan market, but the total depends on your specific kitchen size and cabinet condition. Most Keego Harbor kitchen cabinet painting projects fall between $1,500 and $4,000.
The price includes all prep work, materials, and labor. Factors that affect cost include the number of doors and drawers, current cabinet condition, and paint color choice. We provide detailed estimates after seeing your specific kitchen because every project has unique requirements.
Most cabinet painting projects in Keego Harbor take 3-5 days from start to finish. Day one involves removal and prep work. Days two and three focus on sanding, priming, and initial paint coats. The final days handle finishing coats and reassembly.
Your kitchen remains partially functional during most of the process since we work on doors off-site while cabinet boxes stay in place. We coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your daily routine, and you’ll have access to your dishes and appliances throughout most of the project.
We use high-quality acrylic paints specifically formulated for kitchen cabinetry. These paints resist moisture, clean easily with household cleaners, and maintain their appearance through daily use. The specific brand and formula depend on your cabinet material and desired finish.
Oil-based paints were once standard, but modern acrylics provide better durability with easier cleanup and faster drying times. We avoid standard wall paints that aren’t designed for the wear and tear kitchen cabinets experience. The right paint choice makes the difference between a finish that lasts years versus one that shows wear quickly.
Yes, we can paint over most existing finishes, but proper preparation is essential for long-lasting results. Stained wood cabinets need thorough sanding and high-quality primer to ensure paint adhesion. Previously painted cabinets require assessment of the existing paint condition.
Some situations require additional prep work. Glossy finishes need extra sanding. Damaged or peeling paint requires removal before new paint application. We evaluate your specific cabinets during the estimate process and explain exactly what preparation your project needs for the best results.
We help guide color selection based on your kitchen’s lighting, countertops, and overall style goals. While we’re not interior designers, our experience with hundreds of cabinet painting projects gives us insight into what works well in different kitchen settings.
Popular choices in Keego Harbor include classic whites, soft grays, and two-tone combinations that pair light upper cabinets with darker lowers. We can show you samples and discuss how different colors will look in your specific kitchen lighting. The goal is choosing a color you’ll love for years to come.
We stand behind our cabinet painting work with a satisfaction guarantee focused on craftsmanship and material quality. If you experience issues with paint adhesion, coverage, or application quality within the first year, we’ll address them at no additional cost.
This warranty covers our workmanship and materials but doesn’t include damage from normal wear, harsh cleaning products, or physical damage. We use quality materials and proper application techniques specifically to minimize warranty issues. Our goal is delivering results that last, not just covering problems after they occur.
