Cabinet Refinishing in the Seattle–Tacoma Area
A flawless paint job, on time, at the price we quoted — or you don’t pay the balance.
Replacing cabinets costs new-car money. Refinishing them costs paint-job money — and done right, the result is hard to tell apart.
“Done right” is the catch. Cabinet finishes live a hard life: steam, grease, fingerprints, slammed drawers. Brush paint over dirty doors and it chips by spring. We degrease, sand, prime with bonding primer, and spray a catalyzed enamel that cures hard — the same finish quality the doors had when they left the factory.
What’s included
- Doors and drawer fronts sprayed off-site in our controlled setup
- Every door labeled and tracked — everything returns to its exact hinge
- Frames and boxes masked and sprayed in place
- Degrease, sand, and bonding primer on every surface
- Durable catalyzed enamel — not wall paint on cabinets
- Hardware removed, bagged, and reinstalled (or upgraded if you like)
The details that make the difference
Sprayed, not brushed
Brush marks are how you spot a cheap cabinet job from across the room. Spraying lays the enamel down glass-smooth — the “is this new?” effect.
Doors labeled & tracked
Every door and drawer front gets a numbered tag matched to its opening. Forty doors leave; forty doors come back to the exact hinges they left.
Your kitchen stays usable
Doors get sprayed off-site while the frames cure at home. You keep your sink, stove, and fridge through the whole project.

Cabinets questions, straight answers
Cabinet refinishing vs. replacement — what’s the real difference?
If your cabinet boxes are solid, refinishing typically runs $3,500–$7,000 for a full kitchen — versus $20,000 and up for replacement — and takes days instead of weeks. Replacement only wins when the boxes themselves are failing or you want a whole new layout.
How long am I without a kitchen?
You’re not, really. Doors are sprayed off-site, and the in-home frame work usually takes 2–3 days. You keep using your appliances and sink throughout — just with naked cabinet frames for a few days.
Will the finish chip?
Not if the prep was honest. We degrease, sand, and use bonding primer plus a catalyzed enamel made for cabinetry — and it’s covered by our written 2-year warranty, so it’s our problem if it fails, not yours.
Can you match a specific color?
Yes — bring us a swatch, a photo, or a Pinterest board. We can color-match across paint brands and spray a sample door first so you approve the exact shade before we commit forty doors to it.
What about laminate or thermofoil cabinets?
Often still doable with the right bonding primer — but we’ll be straight with you at the quote stage if your doors are the type that won’t hold a finish. We’d rather lose the job than spray something we can’t warranty.
