Don't replace your kitchen—refinish it. Prestige Custom Painting LLC delivers glass-smooth, industrial-strength cabinet finishes that save you $10,000+ compared to a full replacement.
70% cheaper than new kitchen cabinet replacement.
Rock-hard industrial coatings resistant to grease & heat.
HVLP-sprayed finish for zero brush marks.
Minimal downtime—kitchen back in action in 5-7 days.
"Professional cabinet refinishing is the technical process of cleaning, sanding, and applying industrial-grade 'bonding' primers and topcoats to existing cabinetry. Unlike standard house painting, cabinet refinishing uses atomized spray technology and heat-resistant enamels to achieve a factory-smooth finish that rivals the durability of brand-new units."
A full kitchen renovation in Spokane can easily exceed $30,000, with cabinets accounting for nearly 40% of that budget. If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound, tearing them out is unnecessary.
Our refinishing service focuses on the "aesthetic shell." By removing the doors and drawer fronts to be sprayed in our controlled facility, and expertly refinishing the boxes in your home, we provide a complete visual transformation with zero demolition.

Why industrial coatings outperform hardware store kits every time.
Engineered to withstand the high-use environment of a Spokane kitchen.
We dismantle all doors, drawers, and hardware. Every hinge is meticulously cataloged so that re-installation is perfectly aligned.
Pro Tip: Keep original hardware in labeled bags; even same-year hinges can have slight variations in wear.
Pitfall: Losing track of door locations. Cabinet boxes often have unique widths that aren't perfectly interchangeable.
We scrub all surfaces with industrial degreasers (TSP substitute) to remove Spokane's toughest cooking oils and grease residues.
Pro Tip: Pay extra attention to the areas around the stove and handles where skin oils and steam accumulate.
Pitfall: Painting over oil. No primer—regardless of quality—will bond to a greasy surface.
We use HEPA-filtered dustless sanders to 'profile' the existing factory finish. This creates microscopic ridges for the new primer to bite into.
Pro Tip: Use 220-grit sandpaper for a surface that is rough enough for adhesion but smooth enough for a fine finish.
Pitfall: Under-sanding 'dead spots' or corners. These are the areas where paint typically chips first.
We spray a specialized high-adhesion primer designed to stick to non-porous surfaces like factory-finished wood and laminate.
Pro Tip: For heavy-grain wood like Oak, we use high-build primers to fill the pores for a more modern, smooth look.
Pitfall: Using standard wall primer. Cabinetry requires chemical-bonding primers to resist heat and moisture.
We apply two perfectly atomized coats of premium urethane enamel using HVLP sprayers for a factory-smooth, durable finish.
Pro Tip: Spray doors horizontally to allow the paint to 'level' perfectly, eliminating any orange peel texture.
Pitfall: Applying coats too thick. This causes 'runs' and prevents the paint from curing to its full hardness.
We re-hang all components, install hardware, and perform a detailed alignment check to ensure everything closes perfectly.
Pro Tip: Install small rubber 'bumpers' to prevent the newly cured finish from sticking to the frames.
Pitfall: Rushing re-installation before the paint reaches its 'dry-to-handle' state.
We perform an adhesion test on a small interior area before the full spray. This ensures the primer 'bites' into the existing factory clear coat, preventing future peeling.
Refinishing is the perfect time to upgrade to larger pulls or modern handles. We can fill existing screw holes before painting to allow for a completely new hardware layout.
"The most critical 5 minutes of any cabinet job is the initial degreasing. If there is a single microscopic oil print near a handle, the paint will eventually chip. We treat cleaning as the most important phase of our system." — Robert, Founder
Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals; use mild dish soap.
Wipe away steam or water droplets from cabinets above the stove or dishwasher.
Allow 30 days for the finish to reach its full industrial cure before heavy cleaning.
Keep cabinet handle screws tight to prevent wiggling and surface scratches.
Immediately dry any accidental spills to prevent moisture from sitting on the finish.
The Fix: Cooking oils are invisible. If not removed with industrial degreasers, they cause 'fisheyes' and peeling.
The Fix: Standard latex primer is too soft. We only use high-adhesion shellac or urethane primers.
The Fix: Thick coats sag and remain soft for weeks. We spray multiple thin, atomized layers for a hard shell.
The Fix: For a factory finish, the primer must be fine-sanded to a glass-smooth state before the topcoat.
The Fix: Re-hanging doors while the paint is 'sticky' causes permanent damage to the edges.
Painting is significantly more cost-effective. Professional refinishing offers a factory-grade look for about 20-30% of the cost of new cabinets, saving you thousands while achieving a high-end aesthetic.
A typical kitchen takes 5–7 business days. We minimize disruption by spraying doors off-site in our controlled environment, while the cabinet boxes are refinished in your home with meticulous masking.
Not with our process. We use industrial-grade 'bonding' primers and urethane enamels (like Benjamin Moore SCUFF-X or Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane) specifically designed for the high-wear demands of a kitchen.
We exclusively use HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray systems for doors and drawer fronts. This ensures an ultra-smooth, glass-like finish with zero brush marks or roller texture.
Yes! Going from honey oak or dark cherry to a modern white or gray is our specialty. We use high-build primers to hide the heavy grain of woods like oak for a smoother finish.
Your kitchen will be accessible in the evenings, though we ask that major cooking be paused during the preparation and spraying phases to prevent dust and oil contamination.
Why wait for a massive renovation? Get a factory-grade kitchen transformation in less than a week.
