Cabinet Painting & Refinishing in Denver
A new kitchen for the price of a good weekend away. Degreased, sanded, bonding-primed, and sprayed with cabinet-grade enamel for a smooth, durable finish.
Painted Cabinets Done Like a Finish Carpenter, Not a Weekend Project
Replacing kitchen cabinets in the Denver area easily runs into five figures. Painting the cabinets you already have gets you most of the visual change for a fraction of that, as long as the prep is done properly. Skip the degreasing, skip the bonding primer, or roll the finish instead of spraying it, and the result chips and shows brush marks within a year.
We treat cabinet painting as a finish job. Doors and drawer fronts come off and get labeled, everything is degreased and scuff-sanded, a bonding primer goes on, and the finish is a sprayed cabinet enamel that levels out smooth and cures hard. Boxes are sprayed in place with the kitchen masked off. You get a durable, wipeable finish and a kitchen that looks new.

Cabinet Painting in Colorado: Good to Know
Oak, Maple, Laminate
Oak grain shows through paint unless it's filled; we'll talk you through the options. Laminate and thermofoil can be painted with the right bonding primer, though peeling thermofoil is a case-by-case call.
Timeline
Most kitchens take about a week from start to reinstall, including cure time. We'll give you the exact schedule with the quote.
Durability
Cabinet enamel cures harder than wall paint and stands up to daily wiping. Treat it gently for the first couple of weeks while it fully hardens.
Cabinet Painting FAQ
Most kitchens take about a week including cure time before the doors go back on. Bathroom vanities are usually two to three days.
Laminate, yes, with a bonding primer made for slick surfaces. Thermofoil depends on its condition: if it's peeling we'll tell you honestly whether paint will hold.
No. Doors and boxes are sprayed with a self-leveling cabinet enamel, which is the difference between a painted-looking kitchen and a factory-looking one.
