That’s what happens when you choose professional cabinet painting instead of replacement. You get the transformation you want without the chaos you don’t. Your countertops stay. Your appliances stay. Your daily routine stays mostly normal.
The result? A kitchen that feels brand new, finished in days instead of months, and costing thousands less than you expected.
Legends Construction LLC brings over a decade of painting expertise to Royal Oak homeowners. We’re a family business—two brothers who’ve been perfecting our craft for more than 10 years, with our current company serving the community for two years.
We handle everything from interior and exterior painting to residential and commercial projects. But what sets us apart isn’t just our experience—it’s our approach. We focus on two things that matter most to Royal Oak families: quality work and fair pricing.
Our goal is simple: do such good work that you’ll call us again. That’s how we’ve built our reputation, and it’s how we plan to keep building it in this vibrant community that values both creativity and craftsmanship.
Here’s exactly what happens when you choose us for your cabinet painting project in Royal Oak. First, we’ll come out for a free consultation to assess your cabinets and discuss your vision. We’ll check for any repairs needed and help you choose colors that fit your style.
Next comes the prep work—the foundation of any quality paint job. We carefully remove cabinet doors and hardware, clean everything thoroughly, and sand surfaces to ensure perfect paint adhesion. Any needed repairs get handled during this stage.
Then we apply our specialized cabinet paint using professional techniques that ensure a smooth, durable finish. We use paints specifically designed for cabinets that can handle daily use. Finally, we reinstall everything with precision, leaving you with a kitchen that looks professionally renovated. Most projects wrap up in 3-5 days, depending on the size of your kitchen.

Your cabinet painting project includes everything needed for a complete transformation. We handle the removal and reinstallation of all cabinet doors and drawers, thorough cleaning and surface preparation, any minor repairs needed, and the application of high-quality cabinet paint designed to withstand daily kitchen use.
Royal Oak homeowners particularly appreciate our attention to hardware. We can work with your existing handles and knobs, or help you select updated hardware that complements your new cabinet color. Many of our clients in the area choose to modernize their hardware as part of the overall refresh.
We also understand Royal Oak’s unique housing stock—from historic bungalows to modern updates. Whether you’re working with original 1920s cabinets or more recent installations, we have the experience to handle the specific challenges and opportunities your cabinets present. Our process adapts to your home’s character while delivering the contemporary look you want.
Cabinet painting costs in Royal Oak typically range from $922 to $5,129, depending on your kitchen size, the number of cabinets, paint quality, and prep work required. This represents significant savings—often 30-50% less than cabinet replacement.
Several factors affect your final cost: the size of your kitchen, the condition of your existing cabinets, the type of paint and finish you choose, and any additional services like hardware updates. We provide detailed, written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
The investment makes sense when you consider that cabinet painting can significantly boost your home’s value while giving you the updated kitchen you want. Most Royal Oak homeowners find the cost very reasonable compared to a full kitchen renovation, which can run $20,000-$50,000 in our area.
Most cabinet painting projects in Royal Oak are completed within 3-5 days, depending on the size of your kitchen and the scope of work. This timeline includes all phases: removal, prep work, painting, and reinstallation.
Here’s the typical schedule: Day 1 involves removing cabinet doors and drawers, then beginning the cleaning and prep work. Days 2-3 focus on any needed repairs, sanding, priming, and applying the base coats. Days 4-5 complete the finish coats and reinstallation of all components.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. While we’re working, you’ll still have access to your kitchen for basic needs, though some limitations apply during the painting phases. We coordinate with you throughout the process to ensure the timeline works with your family’s schedule.
We use specialized cabinet paints specifically designed for kitchen use—these aren’t the same paints used for walls. Cabinet paints are formulated to withstand the unique challenges of kitchen environments: frequent cleaning, grease, moisture, and constant handling.
These professional-grade paints create a harder, more durable surface that resists chipping, scratching, and staining. They also provide better coverage and a smoother finish than standard wall paints. We typically recommend semi-gloss or satin finishes for cabinets because they’re easier to clean and more resistant to wear.
Color options are virtually unlimited. We can match any color you have in mind, from classic whites and grays to bold statement colors. Many Royal Oak homeowners are moving away from traditional wood stains toward solid colors that give their kitchens a more contemporary, updated look.
Yes, we can paint over most existing finishes, including stain, paint, and laminate surfaces. However, proper preparation is crucial for lasting results—this is where our experience really matters.
For stained cabinets, we use specialized primers that bond to the existing finish and prevent bleed-through. Painted cabinets require careful assessment of the existing paint condition and appropriate prep work. Laminate cabinets need specific primers and techniques to ensure proper adhesion.
The key is thorough surface preparation. We clean all surfaces, sand as needed to create proper adhesion, fill any imperfections, and apply the right primer for your specific cabinet material. This prep work is what separates a professional job that lasts from a DIY project that fails. Our process ensures your new paint job will look great and hold up to daily use for years to come.
Yes, we stand behind our cabinet painting work with a comprehensive warranty that covers both materials and workmanship. We’re confident in our process and the quality of materials we use, so we back up our work with guarantees that give you peace of mind.
Our warranty covers issues like paint adhesion, premature wear, and defects in workmanship. If problems arise that are related to our work or materials, we’ll return to make it right at no additional cost to you. This warranty reflects our commitment to customer satisfaction and quality work.
We also provide detailed care instructions to help you maintain your newly painted cabinets. With proper care, your cabinet paint job should look great for many years. Most of our Royal Oak clients find their painted cabinets hold up exceptionally well to daily kitchen use when properly maintained.
Updating your cabinet hardware when painting is often a great idea, but it’s not required. Many Royal Oak homeowners choose to update their knobs and pulls as part of the overall cabinet refresh because it maximizes the transformation impact.
New hardware can completely change the look and feel of your cabinets. For example, switching from traditional brass knobs to modern brushed nickel pulls can give your kitchen a contemporary update that complements your new paint color. Current trends favor mixed materials, matte black finishes, and more substantial hardware styles.
We can work with your existing hardware if it’s in good condition and fits your vision. We’ll remove it during painting, clean it thoroughly, and reinstall it with your newly painted cabinets. However, if you’re investing in cabinet painting, updating the hardware often provides the biggest visual impact for a relatively small additional cost.
