Cabinet Painters in Greenville, SC

For most homeowners, yes — by a wide margin. If your cabinet boxes are structurally solid and the layout works for your kitchen, painting delivers a like-new result at a fraction of replacement cost. Where replacement makes sense is when the boxes themselves are failing or the layout needs to change. We'll give you an honest read during the estimate.

Most kitchen cabinet projects take several days from start to finish — prep, priming, painting, and curing all need time to be done correctly. We sequence the work so your kitchen stays functional throughout. We give you a clear timeline during the estimate based on your specific scope.

Semi-gloss and satin are the standard choices — both clean up easily and hold up to daily contact. Semi-gloss gives a crisper, more reflective finish; satin is slightly softer. We'll walk you through the difference and recommend based on the look you're after and how your kitchen light behaves.

You don't have to, but many homeowners take the opportunity to update pulls and knobs at the same time — it extends the transformation. We remove hardware before painting and reinstall when the project is complete. If you're ordering new hardware, just coordinate the timing with us before project day.

Yes. Older cabinets often need more prep — filling gaps, sanding down rough edges, addressing areas where the existing finish has worn through. We assess the condition during the estimate and build the right prep scope into the project. More prep upfront means a better result that holds up longer.

Properly painted cabinets — degreased, sanded, primed with a bonding primer, and finished with a durable topcoat — hold up very well for years. Cabinets that chip and peel are almost always the result of skipped prep or the wrong products. We use professional-grade cabinet coatings engineered for daily kitchen use, not standard wall paint.

Yes — but the degreasing step is non-negotiable. Kitchen cabinets accumulate grease over time, especially near the stove. Paint applied over grease won't bond and will eventually peel. We clean the surface thoroughly before anything else goes on. It's not optional — it's how the job has to start.

Bright whites and soft whites remain the most requested, with navy and dark greens gaining ground on islands and lower cabinets. What's truly timeless is more about your home's style and your lighting than it is about trends. During the estimate we talk through color direction so you feel confident before we open a single can.

We remove cabinet doors and drawer fronts in stages and work in a sequence that keeps the base cabinets accessible. You won't be left without any kitchen function during the project. We communicate the day-by-day plan before we start so you know what to expect.

We'll walk you through care instructions at the final walkthrough. The short version: wipe with a soft cloth and mild soap, avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive scrubbers, and handle the doors gently for the first few weeks while the finish fully cures. After that, properly painted cabinets are durable and easy to maintain.
