Question 1 of 4

What do you need painted?

Freshly painted sage-green kitchen cabinets with a smooth sprayed finish in an Orlando home

Paint: the refresh

Best when the boxes are solid and the layout works. You keep everything and change the finish. Fastest, least disruptive, lowest cost. See kitchen cabinet painting.

Reface: the middle path

New doors and drawer fronts, new veneer on the boxes. Best when you want a different door style — say, shaker instead of arched — but the boxes are fine. Costs more than painting, less than replacing.

Replace: the reset

New everything. Best when the layout is wrong, boxes are damaged, or the substrate is failing. Most expensive, most disruptive, longest timeline.

Our honest take

Most Orlando kitchens we see are paint candidates. The 90s and 2000s boxes are solid — only the finish is dated. We will tell you at your visit if yours are not. Call (301) 679-9193.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is refacing better than painting?

Not better — different. Refacing changes the door style; painting changes the finish. If you like your door style, painting is the smarter spend.

When must cabinets be replaced?

When boxes are water-damaged, the layout does not work, or the substrate (like peeling thermofoil) is failing.
