Cabinet Refinishing Comparison: Paint vs. Replace
If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound, there is rarely a reason to replace them. Painting allows you to spend your budget on high-end hardware and appliances instead.
| Feature | Professional Painting | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Typical Cost | $3,500 – $6,500 | $15,000 – $40,000+ |
| Project Duration | 5-7 Days | 3-6 Weeks |
| Customization | Unlimited Colors | Limited to Stock |
| Mess Factor | Minimal (Closed System) | Significant (Demolition) |
The "Prestige" Cabinet Process
We don't just "paint" cabinets; we refinish them. Our process is designed to handle the heavy use of a Spokane family kitchen.
Industrial Degreasing
We remove all cooking oils and grease to ensure the primer creates a permanent chemical bond.
Bonding Primer
We use specialized shellac or high-build bonding primers that "bite" into the existing finish.
Factory Spray Finish
Doors are sprayed in our controlled environment for a smooth-as-glass finish with NO brush marks.
Durable Topcoat
We use high-grade enamels like Benjamin Moore Scuff-X for extreme scratch and chemical resistance.
