Cabinet Painting That Changes the Look of Your Kitchen
Cabinets take up a large portion of your kitchen's visual space. Changing their finish can therefore make the entire room feel different without changing the footprint of the kitchen.
Our cabinet painting services in Waukesha are designed for homeowners who like their existing cabinets but want a more updated appearance.
Popular cabinet painting options include:
White and off-white kitchen cabinets
Gray and neutral cabinet finishes
Modern two-tone cabinet combinations
Painted bathroom vanities
Painted built-in cabinets
Cabinet doors and drawer fronts
Kitchen island painting
Refreshing previously painted cabinets
The goal is not simply to put another coat of paint on the cabinets. Proper preparation and application are critical to achieving a smooth, consistent finish that looks appropriate for cabinetry.
Cabinet Painting for More Than Just Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet painting isn't limited to kitchen cabinets. Stateline Painting also helps Waukesha homeowners refresh bathroom vanities, kitchen islands, built-in cabinetry, and other interior wood surfaces with a professional new finish.
-
If your bathroom is updated but the vanity looks dated, painting the existing cabinet can provide a focused improvement without replacing the entire vanity.
-
A kitchen island can be refinished independently from the surrounding cabinetry when you want to create contrast or update a particular part of the kitchen.
-
Built-ins in offices, dining rooms, living rooms, and other areas can also benefit from a new finish when the existing color no longer works with the room.
-
If you have cabinetry that is visually dated or has a finish that no longer fits your interior, tell us about it during your estimate.
Cabinet Painting vs. Cabinet Replacement
Do You Really Need New Cabinets?
Replacing cabinets can become a much larger remodeling project than homeowners initially expect. Cabinet removal, new cabinetry, installation, countertops, hardware, plumbing considerations, and other changes can all add complexity.
If you already like the layout of your kitchen and the cabinets are structurally sound, cabinet painting or refinishing may be an option worth investigating first.
Cabinet painting may make sense when:
The existing cabinet boxes are in good condition
You like your current kitchen layout
You want a different cabinet color
The cabinets look dated but remain functional
You want to update the kitchen without changing its configuration
Replacement may make more sense when the cabinetry has significant structural damage, extensive moisture damage, or when you want to completely redesign the kitchen.
The important point is to determine which situation applies to your kitchen before spending money.
Let Us Evaluate Your Existing Cabinets
What Does Cabinet Painting Cost in Waukesha, WI?
There is no accurate flat price for every cabinet painting project because every kitchen has a different number of doors, drawers, cabinet surfaces, existing finish, and preparation requirements.
The estimate may depend on the size and configuration of the cabinetry, condition of the surfaces, type of finish selected, and whether you are painting, staining, or refinishing the cabinets.
Rather than giving you a generic online price that may not apply to your kitchen, Stateline Painting can evaluate the project and provide a project-specific estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
5
Can you tell me if my existing cabinets are worth painting?
1
Yes. This is one of the first things we can help you determine. Stateline Painting can evaluate the condition of your cabinet doors, drawer fronts, frames, and other visible surfaces to determine whether painting or staining is a practical option. If the cabinets have significant damage that makes refinishing unsuitable, we can explain that before you invest in the project.
I have old oak cabinets. Can you make them look more modern?
2
In many cases, existing oak cabinets can be considered for a new painted finish. Stateline Painting can evaluate your oak cabinetry and discuss the appearance you want, whether you are looking for a lighter, neutral, or completely different cabinet color. Because oak has a noticeable grain, we can also discuss what type of finished appearance you should realistically expect.
My cabinets are stained now. Can they be painted?
3
Possibly. The existing stain and finish need to be evaluated before determining the appropriate preparation. Stateline Painting can inspect the existing surfaces and recommend the right approach rather than simply applying paint over an unsuitable finish.
If your cabinetry is suitable for staining and you want to maintain the character of the wood, Stateline Painting can discuss staining as an alternative to painting. We can look at the existing wood and finish and help you determine whether staining can achieve the appearance you want.
I don't want to paint my cabinets. Can you stain them instead?
4
Do you paint the cabinet doors and drawer fronts too?
The scope of cabinet painting can include doors, drawer fronts, cabinet frames, end panels, islands, or other areas depending on your project. During the estimate, Stateline Painting can review the cabinetry with you and clearly define what will be included.
