Love Your Kitchen Layout, But Not Your Cabinets?
You may not need a complete kitchen remodel to completely change the look of your space.
If your existing cabinets are in good condition and you like the current layout, professional cabinet painting can give your kitchen a fresh, updated appearance while keeping the cabinetry you already have.
Changing the cabinet color can dramatically change the feel of a kitchen—from bright and clean whites to warm neutrals, rich colors, or a contrasting kitchen island.
During your estimate, we'll look at your existing cabinets, their condition and finish, and the result you're trying to achieve to help determine whether painting is a good option for your kitchen.
Professional Cabinet Painting for More Than Just Kitchens
Cabinet painting can transform cabinetry throughout your home. Sawyer's Painting can evaluate a variety of existing painted and wood cabinet surfaces for professional refinishing.
Kitchen Cabinets
Update one of the most visible features in your home with professionally painted cabinet doors, drawers, frames, and finished panels.
Kitchen Islands
Create contrast or tie your island into a new kitchen color palette with a professionally painted finish.
Bathroom Vanities
Refresh an outdated bathroom without replacing an otherwise functional vanity.
Built-In Cabinets & Shelving
Update built-ins, storage cabinets, shelving, and other suitable painted cabinetry to better complement the rest of your home.
Wood & Oak Cabinets
Many existing wood cabinets can be painted successfully when the surface is properly evaluated and prepared before priming and finishing.

How We Professionally Paint Kitchen Cabinets
1
Protect Your Home
Before painting begins, we carefully mask and protect surrounding countertops, floors, appliances, walls, and other surfaces that aren't being painted.
2
Remove & Label
Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are carefully removed and labeled so everything can be properly prepared, painted, and returned to its correct location.
3
Clean & Degrease
Kitchen cabinets naturally collect cooking oils, grease, fingerprints, and residue over time. We thoroughly clean and degrease the surfaces before painting to create the proper foundation for the new finish.
4
Sand & Prepare
Cabinet surfaces are sanded and prepared to promote proper adhesion. Minor imperfections are addressed as needed before the finishing process begins.
5
Prime
Cabinet surfaces are professionally primed when required to create a consistent foundation and help the new finish properly bond to the existing surface.
6
Professional Finish Coats
We apply Sherwin-Williams Emerald® Urethane Trim Enamel, a premium coating designed for cabinets, doors, trim, and other frequently used surfaces.
Emerald Urethane is available in a wide range of colors, allowing you to completely change the look of your kitchen while creating a smooth, durable, and washable finish.
7
Dry, Reassemble & Inspect
After the finish has properly dried, doors and drawers are carefully reinstalled and the completed cabinetry is inspected as part of our final walkthrough.
The result is a professionally refinished kitchen that gives your existing cabinets an entirely new look without the expense and disruption of replacing them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cabinet Painting
Is painting kitchen cabinets worth it?
If your existing cabinets are in good condition and you like the current layout, professional cabinet painting can be an excellent way to update your kitchen without replacing the cabinetry. A new cabinet color can dramatically change the appearance of the entire room while allowing you to keep the cabinets you already have.
What kind of paint do you use on kitchen cabinets?
Sawyer's Painting uses Sherwin-Williams Emerald® Urethane Trim Enamel for our cabinet finishes. It is designed for frequently used surfaces such as cabinets, doors, and trim and provides a smooth, durable, washable finish. It is also available in a wide range of colors.
What is your cabinet painting process?
Our process includes removing and labeling doors and drawers, cleaning and degreasing, sanding and surface preparation, protecting surrounding areas, priming as needed, applying professional finish coats, allowing the finish to properly dry, reinstalling the doors and drawers, and completing a final inspection. Proper preparation is one of the most important parts of creating a cabinet finish designed to hold up to everyday use.
Can you paint oak or stained wood cabinets?
Many oak, stained wood, and previously finished cabinets can be professionally painted. The existing finish and condition of the cabinetry need to be evaluated first because proper cleaning, sanding, preparation, and priming are critical for adhesion and the final appearance. During your estimate, we'll inspect your cabinets and let you know whether they're good candidates for painting.
How durable are professionally painted kitchen cabinets?
Professionally painted cabinets can provide a durable, long-lasting finish when the surfaces are properly prepared and the correct coating system is used.
Cabinets experience considerably more contact and cleaning than walls, which is why Sawyer's Painting uses a detailed preparation process and Sherwin-Williams Emerald® Urethane Trim Enamel for our cabinet finishes.
Newly painted cabinets also require time to fully cure, so we'll provide instructions for caring for them after the project is complete.
How long does it take to paint kitchen cabinets?
The timeline depends on the size of the kitchen, number of doors and drawers, existing cabinet condition, preparation required, and scope of the project.
During your estimate, we'll evaluate your cabinetry and explain the expected process and project timeline for your specific kitchen.
Do I need to empty my cabinets before you paint?
Because every cabinet project is different, we'll explain exactly what needs to be removed or prepared before your project begins. Our team protects surrounding countertops, floors, appliances, walls, and other areas that are not being painted. We'll provide clear preparation instructions before work starts so you know exactly what to expect.
Can I choose any color for my cabinets?
Sherwin-Williams Emerald® Urethane Trim Enamel is available in a wide range of colors, giving you plenty of options for creating the look you want.
White and neutral cabinets can create a brighter, more timeless appearance, while deeper colors can add contrast and character. Kitchen islands can also be painted a different color from the surrounding cabinetry to create a two-tone design.
Is it cheaper to paint kitchen cabinets than replace them?
Painting existing cabinets can be a more practical alternative to replacement when the cabinets are structurally sound and you are happy with their existing layout.
The actual cost depends on the size, condition, design, and number of doors and drawers in your kitchen. Sawyer's Painting provides free cabinet painting estimates so you can understand the cost of refinishing your existing cabinets before deciding whether painting or replacement makes more sense for your home.
