Surfaces to include in your estimate

Identify each cabinet surface you want changed, and keep any repairs separate from the finish scope.
  • Kitchen doors
    Kitchen cabinet doors, including agreed front and back faces.
  • Drawer fronts
    Drawer fronts, with edges identified in the painting scope.
  • Face frames
    Visible face frames surrounding cabinet doors and drawers.
  • End panels
    Exposed cabinet end panels that need a coordinated finish.
  • Island cabinetry
    Island cabinetry included in the same or a contrasting color.
  • Bathroom vanities
    Bathroom vanity cabinets, assessed separately from the kitchen.

Repaint the finish, not the floor plan

Cabinet painting makes sense when the arrangement and storage still work for you. It changes the visible finish without redesigning the room. Start by separating cosmetic concerns from functional ones: a dated color is different from a drawer that will not close or a damaged cabinet box. Painting is not a substitute for structural repairs, refacing, or replacement.


Make the painted boundary clear

A cabinet estimate should explain more than the number of doors. Note whether backs, edges, frames, island panels, and visible side panels are included. Cabinet interiors and shelves are not automatically part of an exterior cabinet repaint. Identify them separately if you want them considered, so the finished result and preparation requirements are understood before work begins.


Choose color with the whole room in view

Look at your countertop, backsplash, flooring, and nearby wall color together. Compare a physical color sample in the room rather than relying only on a phone image. Also decide how much of the existing wood texture you want to see. Paint changes color, but an entirely grain-free appearance should never be assumed from a color choice alone.


Plan around everyday kitchen use

Tell us which appliances, walkways, and storage you rely on each day. Preparation, painting, and drying can affect access at different stages; a working kitchen should not be assumed throughout the project. Set aside daily essentials and discuss what to empty or move. Timing depends on the cabinet condition, scope, products, and work arrangements rather than a fixed package.
