How much will it be to paint my kitchen cabinets?

Painting kitchen cabinets are the rage right now but buyer beware not every painter can do this fine finish work. Contacting your typical three estimates will not be a great judge of what results you will get.

To professionally paint cabinets takes skill, training, and the best products that have been used on every project. At Amato Painting we are consistently doing at least 3-5 projects per week and have honed in our system, from a climate controlled spray area to the proper preparation and knowledge to adjust with the ever-changing job issues such as moisture, temperature, different cabinet types and finishes.

Anyone can paint?

Well some people do believe this and maybe with a wall or a bedroom I would try it, I would not let "anyone" touch my cabinets, would you let anyone paint your car?

We do hear sometimes that is too much but if you break the project down, it is always much cheaper than replacing or refacing if your buying quality cabinets, again I will say if your hiring someone to install high-quality cabinets you could never do it for the same price as painting them. You don't want to skip any steps when painting kitchen cabinets or you may face paint failure which is the peeling you may be worried about

The process

The process has been tested by us, the products we use are all tested in our shop before being used on a project. From the first day, we will cover all of the floors, and other areas.
The cabinets are typically cleaned and deglossed or lightly sanded just for adhesion of the paint coatings.
We will remove the drawers and doors and either paint them in place or bring them to our shop while someone else paints the outside of the boxes.
We paint only the exterior sides of the boxes, both sides of the doors and the exterior side of drawers.
We will remove the hardware and number the doors and drawers so they can go back in the same spot.
Some ask us if you can save any money by doing some of the prep but that is like asking of you can prep your car if you ever had it painted.
Once the cabinets are ready to paint we will typically spray everything with the required coating.
Once dry we will put everything else back together.
I would plan on painting your kitchen walls if you want to completely change the look of the room, we can do this much cheaper if we do it now than returning to do it another time.

You also have some options, do you want new hardware? If so we may need to patch the old holes or drill new holes.

Would you like a glaze on top to make them look older ? We can do that too

The price to paint cabinets

So what is the price? Typically we look at projects by the door openings and this price can vary between $100-140 per opening, this varies due to detail, current condition and any odd-shaped cabinets such as wine racks, glass front or other items. This includes a full cleaning, prep and full prime coat. The adequate dry time and following the specifications is important however remember your painters are the experts and they sometimes make adjustments onsite. 

No site visit

Normally we don't even need to visit the site to give a price, however, we will come out to make sure we meet once an agreement is made to make sure we are a good fit for each other and you have been told of the whole process and what to expect.

What to expect

Remember with any painted surface, your car, a deck or anything painted you can scratch it or damage the paint. The good thing about this is they are painted and can be touched up. They are not bullet proof as some people expect however are very durable in most cases
