Question 1

How long does cabinet painting take?

Accepted Answer

Most kitchen cabinet projects take 5–7 working days from start to finish. Bathroom vanities are usually 2–3 days. We'll give you a specific timeline in your written quote.

Question 2

Can I still use my kitchen during the project?

Accepted Answer

Yes, mostly. The cabinets themselves will be inaccessible for parts of the week, but the kitchen stays functional — sink, appliances, and counter space are all usable. We work in stages so you're never completely cut off.

Question 3

Will painted cabinets really hold up to daily use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if they are painted correctly. We use cabinet-grade enamels designed for high-traffic surfaces, and we follow proper cure times. Done right, painted cabinets hold up just as well as factory-finished cabinets.

Question 4

What if my cabinets are damaged or have wood rot?

Accepted Answer

We'll spot any damage during the quote and tell you honestly. Small dings and scratches we can fill and paint. Significant damage or structural issues might mean replacement makes more sense than refinishing — and we'll tell you that if it's the case.

Question 5

Can you change the cabinet color completely?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Going from dark oak to bright white, from natural wood to navy blue, from honey maple to charcoal — we do dramatic color changes every week. Two-tone kitchens (different uppers and lowers) are also popular right now.

Question 6

Do you remove the doors and spray them, or paint them in place?

Accepted Answer

Doors and drawer faces come off and are sprayed in a controlled environment. Cabinet boxes stay in place and are sprayed where they live, with thorough masking and containment to prevent overspray.

Question 7

Can you swap out my cabinet hardware too?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is the easiest upgrade you will ever make. While the doors are off, replacing dated hardware with modern pulls or knobs is quick and dramatic. We can pick up hardware for you or use what you have already chosen.

Question 8

How much does cabinet painting cost in Charlotte?

Accepted Answer

Cabinet painting is heavily project-specific — kitchen size, number of doors and drawers, current finish, and color choice all affect price. We do free in-home quotes so you get an accurate number, not a wild guess. Expect cabinet painting to cost 20–30% of the price of new cabinets.

Question 9

Is there a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every cabinet project is backed by our written 3-year workmanship warranty.
