Professional Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Shoreline, Washington
Tired of your dated oak cabinets or worn-out finishes? Kitchen cabinet painting is the smart way to transform your Shoreline kitchen without the cost and disruption of a full renovation. For a fraction of the price of new cabinets, you can have a kitchen that looks completely updated.
Our cabinet refinishing specialists serve homeowners throughout Shoreline—from Ridgecrest to Innis Arden. We use professional spray equipment and premium cabinet-grade paints to deliver a factory-smooth finish that lasts for years.
Why Paint Your Shoreline Kitchen Cabinets?
Smart homeowners choose cabinet painting for these reasons
Save Thousands
New cabinets for an average Shoreline kitchen cost $15,000-$30,000+. Professional cabinet painting delivers a similar transformation for $3,500-$7,000—saving you 70% or more.
Faster Timeline
Cabinet replacement takes 4-8 weeks and disrupts your entire kitchen. Our cabinet painting is typically completed in 3-5 days, and you can use your kitchen throughout most of the process.
Eco-Friendly Choice
Refinishing keeps perfectly good cabinets out of landfills. If your cabinet boxes are solid, painting is the sustainable choice that's better for the environment.
Increase Home Value
A freshly painted kitchen is one of the top features buyers look for. Updated cabinets can increase your Shoreline home's value and help it sell faster.
Unlimited Colors
Unlike buying pre-made cabinets in limited colors, painting lets you choose any color you want. Create the exact look you've been dreaming of.
Durable Finish
We use premium cabinet-grade paints and professional spray equipment. The result is a smooth, hard finish that resists chips, scratches, and daily wear for years.

Our Cabinet Painting Process
Professional techniques for flawless results
Consultation & Color Selection
We visit your Shoreline home, assess cabinet condition, discuss your vision, and help you select the perfect color. You'll receive a detailed estimate with no surprises.
Door & Hardware Removal
We carefully remove all cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and hardware. Each piece is labeled for perfect reinstallation. Hinges and hardware are cleaned or replaced.
Cleaning & Prep
This is the most critical step. We thoroughly degrease all surfaces, sand to create adhesion, fill any holes or imperfections, and apply bonding primer. Proper prep ensures lasting results.
Professional Spraying
Using professional HVLP spray equipment, we apply multiple coats of premium cabinet paint. Spraying creates the smooth, factory-like finish that brushes and rollers can't achieve.
Curing Time
Cabinet paint needs proper curing time to achieve maximum hardness. We allow adequate drying between coats and before reinstallation to ensure durability.
Reinstallation & Touch-Up
We reinstall all doors and drawers, adjust hinges for perfect alignment, install new hardware if requested, and perform any final touch-ups. Your kitchen is ready to enjoy!

Real cabinet painting transformations

Echo Lake, ShorelineCabinet Painting FAQs
Common questions from Shoreline homeowners
Will painted cabinets hold up to daily use?
Yes! When properly prepped and painted with premium cabinet-grade paints, painted cabinets are extremely durable. We use products specifically formulated for high-use surfaces and back our work with a 5-year warranty.
Can you paint over oak grain?
Yes, though the grain may show slightly through the paint depending on how heavy it is. For perfectly smooth results on heavily grained wood, we offer grain filling as an add-on service. Many clients love the subtle texture that grain provides.
How long before I can use my cabinets?
Light use is fine within 24 hours of reinstallation. Full cure takes about 2 weeks—during this time, be gentle with the doors and avoid placing heavy items against freshly painted surfaces.
Can you paint thermofoil or laminate cabinets?
Yes, with proper preparation. Thermofoil and laminate require special bonding primers and techniques. We assess your specific cabinets during the consultation to determine the best approach. See our Kirkland cabinet services.
Should I replace my cabinet hardware?
New hardware is an inexpensive way to complete your transformation. We can install new hardware during the project—just factor in the cost of your chosen knobs and pulls. We're happy to make recommendations that complement your new cabinet color.
