Full Cabinet Painting Services for Kitchens and Bathrooms

Kitchens and bathrooms are two of the most frequently used spaces in any home, and their cabinetry is exposed to moisture, heat, and constant handling. Our team provides complete painting services for these high-touch surfaces. We use professional-grade products and apply finishes designed to withstand daily wear without chipping, peeling, or fading.

Kitchen Cabinet Painting

Kitchen cabinet painting involves more than simply brushing on a new color. We begin by removing doors, drawers, and hardware. Each piece is thoroughly cleaned, sanded, and primed before paint is applied. This process allows for better adhesion and a smoother finish. Our painters work in a controlled environment to ensure minimal dust or debris interference, which is essential for clean surfaces on shaker, slab, or routed cabinet fronts.

Bathroom Cabinet Updates

Bathroom cabinets are exposed to high humidity, which can compromise paint and wood over time. We use moisture-resistant primers and finishes specifically formulated for these environments. Our refinishing approach helps preserve the cabinet structure while delivering a fresh, clean appearance that complements modern or classic bathroom design.

Built-In Cabinets and Wall Units

In addition to kitchen and bath cabinetry, we also paint built-ins, bookcases, fireplace mantels, and mudroom storage. These architectural features often benefit from color changes that bring them into alignment with surrounding rooms. We handle them with the same care as free-standing cabinetry, using masking, edge protection, and detail-focused methods for a professional finish.

Cabinet Refinishing and Repainting Process
Every cabinet painting and refinishing project is completed with a multi-step process to ensure surface stability and long-term results. We don’t cut corners or apply paint over unprepared surfaces. Our refinishing strategy is structured to provide both visual appeal and functional durability.

Cleaning and Degreasing
Cabinets are first cleaned using degreasing solutions to remove kitchen oils, soap residue, and other surface contaminants. This step is critical to ensure that primer and paint properly bond to the surface without rejection or bubbling.

Sanding and Surface Repair
After cleaning, we sand each cabinet surface to remove gloss, smooth imperfections, and create texture for better paint adherence. Any cracks, dents, or surface irregularities are filled using appropriate patching materials, then sanded flush for a seamless appearance.

Priming and Sealing
We apply a professional-grade bonding primer to all surfaces to seal wood grain and provide a uniform base for paint. This step also blocks out any previous stains, colors, or wood tannins that could bleed through the finish.

Fine Finish Application
Once primed, we apply multiple thin coats of paint using sprayers or brushes depending on the cabinet type and location. Our finish coats are carefully leveled to avoid brush strokes, roller marks, or drips. The result is a consistent, durable finish that elevates the appearance of any space.
Stain and Natural Wood Refinishing
Some clients in Meridian and Boise prefer to maintain the natural wood grain of their cabinets. In these cases, we offer wood refinishing services that restore the original tone or enhance it with new stains. Our staining process highlights the wood’s natural characteristics while protecting it with a durable topcoat.

Color Matching and Custom Stains
If you're looking to match new wood components to existing cabinets or want to achieve a particular tone, we provide custom stain blending. Our team tests stain samples in advance and works with you to approve color depth and richness before applying it across the project.

Clear Coats and Protective Finishes
After staining, we apply polyurethane or water-based protective topcoats in matte, satin, or gloss finishes depending on your preference. These coatings resist moisture, scratches, and fading, especially in kitchens and bathrooms where durability is essential.
Paint and Finish Options for Cabinet Projects
Northwest Painting LLC works with a variety of paint and coating systems designed specifically for cabinets. We help clients in Meridian and Boise select options that meet their design goals and usage needs.

Enamel and Lacquer Finishes
We use enamel and cabinet-grade acrylic paints that dry to a hard, smooth finish. These paints resist yellowing and provide a professional-grade appearance. In some cases, we also apply waterborne lacquers that offer an even more refined factory-style finish, particularly on modern cabinet designs.

Sheen Levels and Color Selection
Our team advises on sheen selection, whether you prefer a matte, satin, or semi-gloss look. We also help coordinate paint colors with countertops, backsplashes, and flooring to create a cohesive look throughout your kitchen or bathroom.
