Why paint beats replace

Keep the layout. Change everything else.

Replacing kitchen cabinets usually means weeks without a kitchen, new countertops, and a bill that dwarfs the rest of the project. If your layout works and the cabinets are solid, painting or refacing gets you most of the visual change for a small share of the cost.

The difference between a finish that looks great for years and one that chips in months is the prep: degreasing, sanding, a bonding primer and a sprayed, cabinet-grade topcoat. That's the part we never skip.

The complete guide

Cabinet painting, refinishing & refacing in Eugene: what homeowners should know

Cabinets are the biggest visual element in a kitchen, and replacing them is the most expensive part of a remodel. That's why painting, refinishing and refacing have become so popular. Here's the plain-English version of what each one involves, what it costs, and how to tell a real cabinet finish from a weekend paint job.

Painting, refinishing or refacing

Painting changes the color and keeps your door style; it's the best choice when the cabinets are structurally sound and you just want a new look. Refinishing keeps real wood visible: we strip the worn finish, repair, re-stain and seal. Refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts and covers the visible frames, so you get a different style without demolition. Each solves a different problem, and we'll tell you honestly which fits your cabinets.

Why prep matters more than paint

Kitchen cabinets collect a film of cooking grease and hand oils that you can't see but paint can't stick to. A durable result needs degreasing, scuff-sanding, repair of dings and gouges, and a bonding primer before any color goes on. Skipping those steps is why so many painted cabinets chip at the edges within a year or two, and why DIY and low-bid jobs fail.

Why spraying beats brushing

A sprayed finish lays down thin, even coats that level out smooth, with no brush strokes, roller texture or drips. Doors and drawer fronts are removed and sprayed flat, and the boxes are sprayed in place with the room masked off. The finish is also harder and more consistent than most brushed coats.

The process

  1. Estimate and color. We look at the cabinets, discuss your goals and show you samples in your own light.
  2. Remove and prep. Doors, drawer fronts and hardware come off. Everything is degreased, repaired and sanded.
  3. Prime. A bonding primer is applied so the topcoat grips.
  4. Spray. Thin, even coats of a cabinet-grade finish, with proper dry time between coats.
  5. Reinstall and walkthrough. Doors go back on with your hardware or new pulls and soft-close upgrades.

What it costs in Eugene

Most kitchen cabinet painting jobs run roughly $3,500–$8,500. Refinishing is typically $3,500–$9,000 and refacing $7,000–$16,000. What moves the number is the count of doors and drawers, the condition of the current finish, how big a color change you're making, and whether you're adding hardware or soft-close upgrades. Every quote is free, in writing and firm before work starts.

How long it lasts

A well-prepped, sprayed cabinet-grade finish holds up to everyday kitchen life for many years. Paint keeps hardening for a few weeks after it feels dry, so we ask you to go easy on the cabinets at first. Cabinets that fail early almost always share one story: skipped prep, the wrong primer, or regular wall paint.

Choosing a painter

Ask how they prep, what product they spray, whether doors come off, how long cure time is, and whether the quote is in writing. If a bid can't answer those clearly, the low price is usually buying you a thin, short-lived finish.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does cabinet painting cost?

Most kitchens run roughly $3,500–$8,500 depending on the number of doors and drawers, the condition of the current finish and the color change. Refinishing is typically $3,500–$9,000 and refacing $7,000–$16,000. Every quote is free and in writing.

Is painting cabinets worth it compared to replacing them?

If you like your layout and the cabinet boxes are solid, usually yes. Painting or refacing costs a fraction of new cabinets, keeps your countertops and floors in place, and takes days instead of weeks.

Painting, refinishing or refacing: which do I need?

Painting changes the color and keeps your door style. Refinishing keeps real wood and refreshes the stain. Refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts for a different style. We'll tell you which fits at the free estimate.

How long does it take?

Most kitchens take about a week. Refacing takes longer because the new doors are made to order.

Will painted cabinets chip or peel?

A properly prepped, sprayed cabinet-grade finish holds up well to daily use. Chipping and peeling almost always come from skipped prep, the wrong primer or regular wall paint. We degrease, sand, prime with a bonding primer and spray a hard-wearing topcoat.

Do you paint the doors on the cabinets?

No. We remove the doors and drawer fronts and spray them flat so the finish is smooth with no runs, then reinstall them. The boxes and frames are sprayed in place.

Can you paint oak cabinets so the grain doesn't show?

Yes. Oak has a heavy open grain that shows through paint unless it's filled. We grain-fill for a smooth modern look, or leave some grain if you prefer.

Can I stay in the house?

Yes. Doors and drawer fronts are sprayed in a finishing area and the boxes are sprayed in place with the area masked off. You can usually keep using the sink and appliances, with some days of limited access to the cabinets.

What colors can I choose?

Any color. Warm white, greige, sage green, navy and charcoal are popular, and two-tone kitchens with a contrasting island are common. We bring samples to the free estimate.

What about hardware?

We can reuse your hardware or install new pulls and soft-close hinges and drawer slides as part of the job. It's an inexpensive upgrade that changes how the kitchen feels every day.

Is it safe to sand cabinets in an older home?

Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint under newer coats. Disturbing lead paint requires lead-safe work practices. We check the age of your home and tell you how we handle it.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. We back the finish and the workmanship with a written warranty, and we make it right if something isn't as it should be.
