Our Kitchen Cabinet Painting Process
Spraying cabinets off-site for a smooth finish:
Cabinets can be painted in place or removed and sprayed in our warehouse. The time it takes to refinish cabinets will depend on how many you have. Typically, it takes anywhere between a couple of days to one week for the paint to cure.
When refinishing is complete, we’ll replace your hardware with either your old handles or the new ones you choose.
If you’re choosing new pulls or handles, we recommend using one with the same “footprint” as your old hardware – this way, we can use the same screw holes for the new hardware.
This means if your previous pulls had screw holes that were 3 1/4″ apart, your new pulls ideally would have the same distance between screws. This way, we are not puttying the old holes and drilling new ones (puttying old holes could lead to the putty “sinking in” in future as it expands and contracts, making the cabinet look dimpled.)
How much will it cost to paint my kitchen cabinets?
Repainting the kitchen cabinets in an average kitchen in the Boston area will cost $3,500 – $6,500.
Here’s our pricing guide for kitchen cabinets so you can estimate the cost of your exact kitchen. If you are interested in a firm quote, we can come to your home, or if you email [email protected] photos, we can quote the project using your photos. Just be sure to take a photo of all surfaces that will need painting so we understand the scope of the project completely.

Match your backsplash
Harmonizing your cabinet colors with your backsplash creates a tied-together look.
Lighten a dark kitchen
If your kitchen is a bit removed from direct outdoor light, go for a white that lights it up.
Tie in other spaces
Cabinet colors that work with wall colors and decor in a multi-space room lends continuity from end to end.
...Or dark and light
For a more modern approach darken your cabinets against a light backsplash and waterfall island.
White works with stainless steel
The pairing of white with stainless steel finished appliances create a clean, bright space.
Top and bottom two-tones
Painting the lower cabinets a dark color helped disguise the homeowner's black appliances.
White cabinets are great for small spaces
This galley kitchen felt closed in before we painted the cabinets white.
Don't forget the hardware
Cabinet and drawer pulls come in standard sizes so a kitchen cabinet re-do is the time to swap hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Cabinet Painting Projects
Is kitchen cabinet paint different from “regular” wall and trim paint?
Yes, because your cabinets will be opened and closed often, we use a special primer and paint that are much more durable than regular wall paint. See our DIY instructions for the exact paint brands and formulas we use and recommend if you’re doing this project yourself.
How much will it cost to paint my kitchen cabinets with CertaPro Painters?

In addition, here is our pricing guide for kitchen cabinets that will allow you to get a ballpark price for the cabinets in your home.

If you’d like an exact quote, email [email protected] to set up a time for us to meet and give you a firm price, or even send pictures of all the cabinets you’d like painted, and we’ll send you a quote using photos.
Will painting my kitchen cabinets add value to my home?
Fresh kitchen cabinets can make your outdated kitchen more appealing to potential buyers if you decide to sell your home.
Note: When deciding to paint before you sell your home, you should only paint if you will recoup the money (and then some) with a higher selling price.
What colors are popular for kitchen cabinets?
On the South Shore in 2024, our most popular kitchen cabinet project is painting wooden oak or cherry cabinets white or off-white. White cabinets seem to give our customers the most flexibility and provide a timeless look.
In 2024, we’ve also used varying shades of warm gray and muted colors in kitchen cabinets. Muted shades of blue and green look fabulous and lend a “designer” look to kitchen cabinets. Our color consultant, Kate, is free to work with and can help you achieve your “kitchen cabinet vision.”
Should I paint the inside of my kitchen cabinets?
We can paint the inside of your cabinets and drawers, but this will add to the cost. The insides of your cabinet doors are generally included in our quotes, but not the insides of the cabinets themselves. One exception is if you have glass-faced doors, in which case painting the inside of the cabinet is imperative.
To save money, most of our customers tend to leave the inside of the solid-faced cabinets, including shelving, and the inside of their drawers unpainted since none of these elements will show unless the door or drawer is opened.
Should I buy new cabinet door handles and hardware?
Choosing new hardware with the same “footprint” as the old hardware is best. This means if your old hardware fits in 2 holes 4 inches apart, the new hardware should fit in the old holes. While we can putty up the holes to accommodate hardware that doesn’t neatly fit into the old holes, the puttied-up holes will end up showing indentations in the doors as the paint cures and the putty dries.
