Cabinet painting in Fairfax starts with one visit
Cabinet painting in Fairfax, VA is what we do every day. The honey-oak kitchen from 1994. The dark cherry that makes the room feel small. The white paint job a flipper rushed and is now peeling.
Painted cabinets change a kitchen more than any other single update. New color. Smooth finish. New hardware. The room feels new without tearing anything out.
We are a Fairfax cabinet painting crew. Cabinets are our whole trade. Call (301) 679-9193. We come look at your cabinets free. You get a written price. No pressure.
How we paint cabinets
- Doors and drawers come off. Every piece gets labeled so it goes back in the right spot.
- Deep clean. Kitchen grease gets cut with a degreaser. Paint will not stick to grease.
- Sand and repair. We scuff every surface. Dents get filled. Holes from old hardware get filled too.
- Bonding primer. The primer grips the old finish so the topcoat cannot peel.
- Spray finish. Doors and drawers get sprayed with a fine-finish sprayer. Frames get finished in place. Two coats of cabinet enamel.
- Rehang and adjust. Doors go back on straight. New hardware goes on last.
Prep is most of the job. The spraying is the easy part. See the full prep guide.
Why sprayed beats brushed
Brushes leave marks. Rollers leave texture. A sprayer lays the paint down flat. That is how factory cabinets look smooth. We bring the factory to your kitchen. See spray vs brush.
Fairfax kitchens, and what their cabinets need
Fairfax County has a lot of 1960s to 1990s housing. Oak was king for decades. Honey oak in Annandale ramblers. Golden oak in Springfield split-levels. Dark stained oak in Burke colonials. All of it paints beautifully.
The pattern repeats. The boxes are solid. The finish is dated. The homeowner does not want a full remodel. Paint is the answer. See painting oak cabinets.
Newer homes bring different work. Builder-grade white that yellowed. Thermofoil peeling off. We fix the surface, then we paint. See painting laminate cabinets.
Color is the fun part
White opens a dark kitchen. Navy or green on the island adds depth. Two-tone kitchens — light uppers, dark lowers — are everywhere right now. We bring color samples to the estimate visit. See choosing cabinet colors.
What it costs
Four things move the number. How many doors and drawers. What shape the finish is in. Which color and sheen. Whether you add new hardware.
Most kitchens land in the low thousands. Painting runs a fraction of what new cabinets cost.
A note on prices: costs go up and down. No two kitchens are the same. Treat numbers here as starting points, not quotes. Your written estimate is the real number for your project.
