Cabinet Painting Services in San Ramon
Kitchen Cabinet Painting
Doors, drawer fronts, face frames and end panels get one color and one sheen. Dated oak or honey maple turns white, gray, navy or green without new cabinets.
Bathroom Vanity Painting
A painted vanity updates a bath for far less than a new one. We prep for moisture and seal the finish against splashes.
Built-In and Bar Cabinet Painting
Media walls, bookshelves, desks and bar cabinets get matched to the kitchen or set apart with an accent color.
Two-Tone Kitchens
Paint the island or the lowers a darker color and keep the uppers light. One plan, one quote.
Cabinet Staining and Refinishing
Oak, cherry and walnut doors can keep their grain. We strip, sand and restain them under a clear topcoat instead of paint.
Cabinet Interiors
Painted interiors and shelf edges finish the look when glass doors or open shelves show the inside.
New Pulls and Knobs
New hardware completes the change. Match the existing holes, or we fill and redrill for a new size.
Hinge and Drawer Tune-Up
Doors come off for paint anyway. We adjust hinges on rehang and can swap in soft-close hinges and slides.
Repairs Before Paint
Chips, dents, swollen edges near the sink and loose face frames get repaired first. Paint shows every flaw left behind.
Cabinet Painting Cost in San Ramon
Most kitchen cabinet painting jobs run $2,500 to $6,500, with a national average near $4,000. That works out to about $30 to $70 per linear foot, or $70 to $125 per door. Refacing averages near $7,235. Full replacement runs $10,000 or more.
What Moves the Price
Door count, kitchen size and repairs move the number most. Labor makes up about 85% of the cost, so prep time drives the total. Two-tone colors, interiors and new hardware add to it.
Where You Can Save
Keep your hardware if it still works. Paint the doors and face frames and leave the interiors. Fix small repairs at the same visit.
What Paints Well and What Does Not
Maple and Birch
Tight grain and smooth faces. These take paint best and give the cleanest look.
MDF Doors
Flat, stable and free of grain. MDF takes a smooth painted finish once the edges get sealed and primed.
Oak
Open grain shows through paint. We fill the grain first for a smooth look, or leave it for texture.
Thermofoil and Laminate
Vinyl and laminate faces need a bonding primer. Peeling thermofoil cannot hold paint, so refacing makes more sense there.
Paint, Reface or Replace?
Paint When the Doors Still Work
The boxes and doors are solid and the style still suits you. You want a new color, not new cabinets.
Reface When You Want a New Door Style
The boxes are sound but the doors look dated or worn. New doors and veneer change the style. Refacing averages near $7,235.
Replace When You Want a New Layout
You want an island, taller uppers or a new floor plan, or the boxes show water damage. Then new cabinets make more sense. See our custom kitchen cabinets page.
