Hear from Our Customers
You wake up every morning to a kitchen that feels fresh, updated, and completely yours. No more staring at outdated cabinets that make your entire space feel tired. No more wondering if you should have spent tens of thousands on a full remodel.
Professional cabinet painting gives you that brand-new kitchen feeling without the massive disruption or cost. Your cabinets look like they were just installed, but you kept your existing layout, your familiar workflow, and most importantly, your budget intact.
The best part? This isn’t a temporary fix that starts peeling in two years. When done right, your newly painted cabinets will look fresh and vibrant for 8-10 years, giving you real value for your investment.
We bring over 10 years of painting experience to South Lyon homeowners who want results that actually last. We’re a family-owned business built on a simple principle: do the job right the first time, so you’ll call us again.
As local contractors serving Macomb and Oakland County, we understand Michigan’s climate challenges. We know which primers bond properly in our humidity, which paints withstand our temperature swings, and how to prep surfaces so your investment doesn’t start failing after the first winter.
Our approach is straightforward: competitive pricing, superior workmanship, and the kind of customer service that makes you confident you chose the right team.
We start with a thorough assessment of your cabinets and discuss your vision. Not every cabinet is a good candidate for painting, and we’ll tell you honestly what you’re working with.
Next comes the preparation work that separates lasting results from peeling disasters. We remove doors and hardware, clean all surfaces with degreasing agents, sand properly, fill any imperfections, and apply the right primer for your specific cabinet material.
The painting process uses professional-grade materials and techniques. We spray when possible for that smooth, factory-like finish, or hand-paint with premium brushes for detailed areas. Two coats minimum, with proper drying time between each.
Finally, we reassemble everything, inspect every detail, and walk through the completed project with you to ensure you’re completely satisfied with your transformed kitchen.
Ready to get started?
Your cabinet painting project includes complete surface preparation, professional-grade primer, two coats of premium paint, and reassembly of all hardware and doors. We use low-VOC paints that are safe for your family while providing the durability your kitchen demands.
For South Lyon homeowners, we understand the local market. Most of our projects range from $3,000 to $6,500 for a typical kitchen, depending on the number of cabinet doors and drawers. That’s a fraction of the $15,000 to $70,000 you’d spend on a full kitchen remodel.
We also handle the details that matter: protecting your floors and countertops, minimizing dust and disruption, and working efficiently so you can get back to normal life quickly. Many of our South Lyon clients are surprised how clean and organized we keep the work area throughout the entire process.
Professional cabinet painting typically lasts 8-10 years with proper care, while DIY attempts often start showing wear within 2-5 years. The difference comes down to preparation and materials.
We use professional-grade primers that create proper adhesion to your existing finish, preventing the peeling and chipping that plague most DIY projects. Our paints contain higher percentages of titanium dioxide and acrylic resins, which resist fading, clean easily, and maintain their appearance through daily use.
The preparation process alone takes 40-60% of project time, but it’s what separates a paint job that disappoints from one that delivers lasting value for your investment.
Cabinet painting typically costs $2,000-$6,500 for most kitchens, while full cabinet replacement ranges from $15,000-$70,000 or more. For South Lyon homeowners, that means you can achieve a completely transformed kitchen for roughly 20-30% of replacement cost.
The savings go beyond just the initial investment. Cabinet painting takes 3-5 days versus weeks or months for a full kitchen remodel. You avoid the costs of temporary kitchen setups, eating out constantly, and dealing with contractors in your home for extended periods.
Plus, if your cabinet boxes are structurally sound, painting gives you the fresh appearance you want while keeping the layout and functionality you’re already comfortable with.
Most cabinets can be painted, but success depends on the existing material and condition. Wood, MDF, and even laminate cabinets can achieve excellent results with proper preparation and the right primer system.
Thermofoil or vinyl-wrapped cabinets present more challenges, especially if the coating is already peeling or damaged. We’ll assess your specific situation during our consultation and give you honest feedback about expected results and longevity.
The key is using the appropriate primer for your cabinet material. Laminate requires special bonding primers, while wood needs different preparation to handle grain patterns and ensure smooth coverage. That’s why professional assessment matters more than generic DIY advice.
We remove cabinet doors and drawers to paint them in a controlled environment, which means your kitchen remains partially functional throughout most of the project. The cabinet boxes are painted in place with careful masking to protect your countertops, floors, and appliances.
Most South Lyon projects take 3-5 days total. Day one involves removal and preparation. Days two and three focus on priming and painting. Day four handles reassembly and final details. You’ll have limited kitchen access, but it’s manageable compared to a full remodel.
We use dust containment methods, work during reasonable hours, and clean up thoroughly each day. Many clients are surprised how organized and respectful we keep the work area, even when dealing with sanding and painting processes.
Satin and semi-gloss finishes work best for kitchen cabinets because they balance durability with appearance. Satin hides minor imperfections while still being easy to clean, while semi-gloss offers maximum durability for high-use areas like door frames and edges.
Color choice depends on your style and lighting, but we see excellent results with both classic whites and grays, as well as bolder colors for accent pieces. The key is choosing colors that complement your existing countertops, backsplash, and flooring rather than competing with them.
We can provide color consultation during our initial assessment, showing you samples in your actual lighting conditions. What looks perfect in the store can appear completely different in your specific kitchen environment.
Yes, we stand behind our work with a comprehensive warranty that covers both materials and workmanship. The specific terms depend on the scope of your project, but we typically guarantee against peeling, excessive wear, and color fading under normal use conditions.
Our warranty reflects our confidence in both our preparation methods and the professional-grade materials we use. We’re not interested in callbacks or touch-up work any more than you are, so we do the job right the first time.
As a local South Lyon business, our reputation depends on satisfied customers who refer us to their neighbors. That means we have every incentive to deliver results that exceed your expectations and stand the test of time.
