Kitchen cabinet painting
Cabinet painting and cabinet refinishing that transforms your kitchen at a fraction of the cost of replacement. Sprayed finish, professional-grade cabinet paint, complete hardware handling.
Why paint instead of replace
Painting vs replacement math
Painting By Ken provides kitchen cabinet painting throughout Contra Costa County as an alternative to full cabinet replacement. Cabinet replacement for a mid-sized kitchen typically runs $15,000 to $40,000 or more. Cabinet painting achieves the same visual transformation for a fraction of that cost, provided the underlying cabinet boxes and doors are in good structural condition.
- Save 60-80% versus full cabinet replacement
- Keep your existing layout and functional design
- No kitchen demolition or extended kitchen loss
- Same visual result: fresh finish, updated color, new hardware
- Environmentally better: no cabinets to landfill
Our cabinet painting process
Six deliberate steps. The prep is what makes cabinets last.
Remove doors and hardware
All cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and hardware removed and labeled.
Clean and degrease
Kitchen cabinets accumulate grease. Complete degreasing before any prep begins.
Sand for adhesion
Every surface sanded to give the primer a clean bite.
Prime with bonding primer
Cabinet-grade bonding primer applied to guarantee topcoat adhesion.
Spray finish coats
Two or three coats of Benjamin Moore Advance sprayed for a factory-quality finish.
Cure and reinstall
Doors cure fully before reinstall with new or existing hardware.

"We were quoted $32,000 to replace our kitchen cabinets. Ken painted them for a fraction of that and they look like brand new cabinets. Three years later, the finish is still holding up perfectly."
