How It Works

The cabinet painting process, start to finish

Cabinet painting isn't a one-day job done right. Here's exactly what happens from your first call to the final walkthrough — no surprises.

1
Day 1
Phone Consultation & Photos

Send a few photos of your kitchen and Raymond will discuss your color goals, cabinet condition, and wood type. A ballpark price range is usually provided on the first call — no obligation.

2
Week 1
In-Home Quote & Color Selection

Raymond visits your Ludlow kitchen to assess cabinet condition, wood type, door profiles, and surface area. We help you select your finish color and sheen, and provide a firm written quote.

3
Days 1–2
Prep, Degreasing & Priming

Doors are removed and labeled. All surfaces are cleaned, degreased, and sanded. Oak grain filling is done at this stage. Cabinet-grade primer is applied — this prep work is what separates a finish that lasts from one that peels.

4
Days 2–6
Spray Finish & Curing

Doors are spray-finished off-site in a controlled environment. Cabinet boxes are masked and sprayed in place. Proper drying and curing time is observed — this step cannot be rushed without compromising durability.

5
Final Day
Rehang, Hardware & Walkthrough

Doors are rehung and aligned. Hardware reinstalled. Raymond walks through the finished kitchen with you — checking finish quality, color consistency, and door alignment before final sign-off.

Is Painting Right for You?

Is your Ludlow kitchen a good candidate?

Cabinet painting works beautifully on the right kitchen — and it's not always the answer. Here's how to know which side you're on.

Good candidates for painting
Solid wood cabinet doors (maple, birch, oak, cherry)
Cabinet boxes that are structurally sound — no soft spots, no water damage
You like the door style, just want a new color
Dated honey oak or dark-stained cabinets from the 1990s
You want to avoid the cost and disruption of a full remodel
You want a durable, factory-quality result that lasts 10–20 years
Not ideal for painting
Thermofoil or vinyl-wrapped doors — paint won't bond properly
Particle board or MDF cabinet boxes with water damage or swelling
You want to change the door style entirely (refacing is the right answer)
Doors that are warped, delaminating, or structurally compromised
Cabinets that need to be fully replaced (layout issues, box damage)
Have oak cabinets? Oak is the most common cabinet we paint — and the trickiest. The open grain on oak can telegraph through paint if it's not filled first. We apply a grain filler, sand it back, then prime and finish. Done correctly, painted oak looks just as smooth as maple. The surcharge covers this extra prep time.

Ludlow has a lot of ranch-style and colonial homes from the 1960s through 1990s — many with original raised-panel oak or maple cabinets that are structurally solid but look dated. These kitchens are almost always strong candidates for painting. The cabinets are well-built, the layout is efficient, and a new color transforms the entire room without touching the structure.

Cabinet painting in Ludlow typically runs $4,900–$9,900 for a full kitchen, depending on the number of doors, drawer fronts, and whether you want a single color or two-tone finish. We give a firm price upfront — no surprises at completion.

Most cabinet painting projects in Ludlow take 5–8 days. We remove the doors, spray them off-site for a smooth finish, and reinstall. Your kitchen stays functional throughout the process.
