Kitchen Cabinet Painting & Refinishing | Elegant Painting®

Every cabinet project we've documented, in one place. Click any kitchen to see the full transformation—process, colors, and before/after photos—done by Elegant Painting®.

Cabinet refinishing is the fastest, most cost-effective way to modernize a kitchen without a full remodel. Across the Eastside of Seattle—Woodinville, Redmond, Kirkland, Bellevue, Sammamish, Issaquah, Bothell, and Mercer Island—we've built a portfolio of furniture-grade cabinet transformations, each documented above with its own colors, process, and before/after photos.

As the Eastside's fine-finish cabinet specialists, we remove every door and drawer and finish them in our climate-controlled Woodinville shop. That means no brush marks, no drips, minimal dust and odor in your home, and a durable, washable, factory-grade result.

Expert Insight: Why Shop-Finishing Wins

At Elegant Painting®, cabinet painting is 90% preparation. We remove doors and drawers, degrease and sand, then spray in a controlled environment and cure under radiant lamps for 2–4 days before reinstalling. Unlike companies that brush in place or use subcontractors, our dedicated W-2 employee crews have applied these methods on Eastside kitchens for 21 years.

Our Cabinet Painting Process

  • Remove & label: Every door and drawer comes off and is transported to our Woodinville shop for controlled finishing.
  • Prep & prime: Degrease, sand, and seal with Zinsser B-I-N shellac primer to block stains and lock in adhesion—critical on honey-oak and old oil-based finishes.
  • Airless spray: Multiple coats sprayed for a smooth, factory-grade surface—no brush marks, no drips.
  • Cure & install: Cabinets cure under radiant lamps for 2–4 days, then we reinstall, adjust, and add soft-close hinges and hardware on request.
