Cabinet Services You Can Compare on CabinetPainterQuotes
Not every cabinet update needs the same approach. Here is a quick look at the three most common services homeowners request.
Cabinet painting
The most popular update. Doors are cleaned, degreased, sanded, primed and sprayed with a durable enamel for a smooth, factory-like finish in almost any color.
Cabinet refinishing
Ideal for good-quality wood you want to keep visible. The old finish is stripped or scuffed, the wood is restained or toned, and a fresh clear coat is applied.
Cabinet refacing
New doors, drawer fronts and veneer over your existing cabinet boxes. A bigger change in style without the cost and mess of tearing out the whole kitchen.

Why Homeowners Trust CabinetPainterQuotes
Painting cabinets well is detailed work. Proper degreasing, sanding, priming and spraying are what separate a finish that lasts a decade from one that chips in a year. We focus on connecting you with contractors who specialize in cabinets, not just walls.
Every estimate you receive is from an independent business, so you can compare pricing, materials and timelines on your own terms. We always recommend checking licensing, insurance and recent reviews before you sign.
What a quality estimate should include
- Number of doors, drawers and panels being painted
- Cleaning, sanding and priming steps
- Brand and type of paint or coating
- Spray vs. brush-and-roll application
- Hardware removal and reinstallation
- Timeline, cure time and warranty terms

Read the article →CabinetPainterQuotes Frequently Asked Questions
Is CabinetPainterQuotes really free?
Yes. Requesting estimates through CabinetPainterQuotes costs homeowners nothing, and you are never obligated to hire any contractor you are matched with.
How many cabinet painting estimates should I get?
We recommend comparing at least three written estimates. Prices for the same kitchen can vary widely depending on prep work, paint system and the contractor's schedule.
How long does professional cabinet painting take?
Most kitchens take three to seven working days. Doors and drawer fronts are usually removed, sprayed and cured off-site or in a dedicated area while the cabinet boxes are painted in place.
Can laminate or thermofoil cabinets be painted?
Laminate can often be painted after thorough cleaning, scuff-sanding and a bonding primer. Peeling thermofoil usually needs to be removed or the doors replaced, so ask each contractor to inspect it first.
How long does a painted cabinet finish last?
A properly prepped and sprayed finish using a cabinet-grade enamel or catalyzed coating typically lasts eight to fifteen years with normal care.
