We start by evaluating your cabinets and discussing exactly what you want to achieve. Then we remove all doors, drawers, and hardware, labeling everything for easy reassembly.

We thoroughly clean and degrease all surfaces, sand for proper adhesion, fill imperfections, and apply premium primer designed specifically for kitchen cabinets.

Utica’s climate demands materials that can handle humidity swings and temperature changes. We choose paints specifically engineered for Michigan’s weather patterns, ensuring your finish looks great through every season.
You also get complete protection for your home during the process. We mask and cover everything, work cleanly, and leave your space spotless when we’re done.
Most kitchen cabinet painting projects in Utica, MI take 4-5 days from start to finish. This includes removal, thorough prep work, priming, painting, and complete reassembly.
Larger kitchens or cabinets needing extensive repair may take 6-7 days. Smaller projects sometimes finish in 3 days. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during our initial consultation.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption, but we never rush the process. Proper drying time between coats is essential for durability—cutting corners here leads to problems later.
Professional cabinet painting typically costs 60-70% less than replacement. While new cabinets for an average Utica kitchen run $15,000-$30,000, professional painting usually ranges from $3,000-$8,000.
Your exact cost depends on kitchen size, cabinet complexity, and current condition. Intricate designs or significant damage increase prep time and materials needed.
For most homeowners, painting delivers the transformation they want at a fraction of replacement cost—especially when cabinet boxes are structurally sound.
When done with quality materials and proper technique, painted cabinets are extremely durable. We use paints specifically formulated for kitchen environments that cure to a hard, chip-resistant finish.
Professional cabinet painting in Utica, MI typically lasts 8-10 years with normal use and care. The key is using the right primer, applying proper coats, and allowing full cure time between steps.
Compare this to DIY jobs that often start failing within 2-3 years, and professional painting becomes an even better investment.
Absolutely. Most cabinets we refinish in Utica have been painted before. The key is proper surface preparation to ensure new paint bonds correctly with existing finish.
We sand the current surface to create adhesion, fill any damage, and apply high-quality primer designed to bond with existing paint. This process ensures your new finish lasts just as long as painting raw wood.
Previously painted cabinets often produce superior results since the wood grain is already sealed, allowing for smoother final coats.
Rich, sophisticated colors are dominating 2024 kitchen cabinet refinishing trends. Deep navy blues, forest greens, and warm charcoal grays are extremely popular, often paired with white or cream uppers for striking two-tone effects.
Matte finishes are increasingly preferred over high-gloss because they hide fingerprints better and create a more contemporary, upscale appearance. Classic whites remain popular, but warmer whites with subtle undertones are replacing stark, sterile whites.
The best choice depends on your home’s style, natural light, and personal taste. We help Utica homeowners select colors that look great now and won’t feel dated in five years.
Cabinet painting looks simple until you realize the complexity involved. About 20-25% of our calls come from homeowners trying to fix failed DIY jobs—often costing more than doing it right initially.
Successful kitchen cabinet refinishing requires complete disassembly, specialized cleaning products, proper sanding technique, quality primer, and professional application methods. Most DIYers underestimate the time commitment—what takes us 4-5 days often consumes several weekends.
The biggest issue is longevity. DIY painted cabinets typically start chipping within 2-3 years, while our professional work lasts 8-10 years. Factor in time, materials, and likely do-overs, and professional cabinet painting in Utica, MI often costs less long-term.
