Cabinet Painting in Traverse City, MI

New cabinets mean demolition, a torn-up kitchen and a big bill. If your cabinet boxes and doors are still solid but look worn, dated, faded or scratched, painting gives you a completely different room with far less disruption, because the counters, sink and appliances stay right where they are.

That makes cabinet painting one of the most practical upgrades in a home. Oak cabinets from another decade, a bathroom vanity that no longer matches, built-ins that blend into the wall: all of them can look new again with the right prep and finish, and for a lot less than replacing them.

Kitchens get most of the attention, but bathroom vanities and built-ins are some of the easiest pieces to transform. A vanity that's dark or dated can go light and clean, and built-in bookcases and fireplace surrounds can become a real feature with a bold color.

The deep teal built-ins pictured on this page are a good example: a fireplace wall that now anchors the whole room. The same prep that goes into kitchen cabinets goes into these pieces too, from cleaning and sanding to primer and multiple finish coats, so they hold up to daily use just as well.
