Kitchen Cabinet Painting: The Art of Transformation
Unfortunately, kitchen re-facing and cabinet staining with gel just doesn’t last. Before our customers found us, their kitchen was far from their dream kitchen. They had old, outdated and plain cabinets. Some of them even had cabinets that they had previously attempted to reface. However, fortunately for them, they found Cabinet Refinishing and Cabinet Painting Boulder, CO. We are not your typical cabinet refinishers.
Most Painting Contractors do not paint cabinets, as they are like furniture, and need to be painted properly for them to turn out well, and hold up over time. You can paint anything, you just have to use the right products and the correct method. Over the years I have had the patience and experience, to have perfected the method of painting cabinets, and I have a lot of confidence, pride and joy in doing so. I do all the work myself and with my son, and you will not be disappointed!
Why Choose Professional Cabinet Refinishing?
Kitchen cabinets represent approximately 80% of the visible space in your kitchen. Their appearance dramatically affects the overall look and feel of your home’s heart. While many homeowners consider replacing their cabinets when they’re looking outdated, professional cabinet refinishing offers a cost-effective alternative that can deliver stunning results.
Cabinet refinishing costs approximately 40-60% less than replacing your cabinets, making it an economical choice for homeowners looking to update their kitchen without breaking the bank. Additionally, refinishing is an environmentally friendly option as it keeps perfectly good cabinet frames out of landfills.
Our specialized process involves thorough preparation, premium materials, and expert application techniques that ensure your refinished cabinets will maintain their beauty for years to come. Unlike DIY approaches or general painting contractors, we focus exclusively on cabinet refinishing, allowing us to deliver consistent, factory-quality finishes.

Real Stories from Satisfied Customers Across Colorado
Nothing speaks more powerfully than the experiences of our customers. Here are some stories from homeowners we’ve helped throughout Colorado:
Lafayette, CO Transformation
“Our 25-year-old oak cabinets were solid but so dated with that golden oak finish that was popular in the 90s. We considered replacing them but were looking at over $30,000 for new cabinets. After researching options, we found Cabinet Refinishing and Cabinet Painting and decided to give refinishing a try.
From the initial consultation to the final reveal, the process was incredibly professional. They transformed our tired oak cabinets into beautiful white shaker-style masterpieces that completely modernized our Lafayette home. The attention to detail was remarkable—they even fixed several drawers that weren’t closing properly. It’s been two years, and they still look brand new despite daily use from our family of five. The best home improvement decision we’ve ever made!”
– Sarah and Michael Thompson, Lafayette, CO
Broomfield, CO Kitchen Revival
“When we purchased our Broomfield home, the kitchen cabinets were in good structural condition but had a dated cherry finish that made the entire space feel dark and cramped. We reached out to Cabinet Refinishing and Cabinet Painting after seeing their work at a neighbor’s house.
They suggested a light gray finish that would brighten the space while still providing warmth. The transformation was beyond our expectations! Not only did they meticulously refinish every cabinet surface, but they also provided excellent advice on new hardware that complemented the new finish. Our kitchen now feels twice as large and has become our favorite gathering space for friends and family. The quality of the work is exceptional—the finish is smooth, even, and has the perfect sheen. We’ve received countless compliments, and no one believes these are the same cabinets!”
– Jennifer Wilson, Broomfield, CO
Brighton, CO Modern Makeover
“After 15 years in our Brighton home, we were ready for a kitchen update but didn’t want to endure a full renovation. Our maple cabinets were still in great shape structurally, but the finish had yellowed over time, and the style felt outdated. Cabinet Refinishing and Cabinet Painting suggested a two-tone approach with white uppers and a deep navy for the lower cabinets.
The results were stunning! The transformation took our kitchen from basic builder-grade to custom designer look for a fraction of the cost of new cabinets. Their methodical process meant minimal disruption to our daily lives, and they were always respectful of our home. The finish quality is incredible—smooth and durable with no brush marks or drips. Six months later, after countless cleanings and daily use, they still look perfect. This company truly delivers on their promise of a factory-quality finish!”
– Robert and Lisa Chen, Brighton, CO
Thornton, CO Complete Transformation
“I was hesitant about refinishing my cabinets because a friend had a bad experience with another company, but Cabinet Refinishing and Cabinet Painting came highly recommended by several Thornton neighbors. My kitchen cabinets were a dark espresso color that made my kitchen feel like a cave, despite having good natural light.
They transformed them to a beautiful soft white that completely changed the feeling of our entire main floor. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations—everything from the way they protected the rest of our home during the process to the flawless finish of the cabinet doors. They even color-matched the finish to our existing trim for a cohesive look. The owner personally oversaw every aspect of the project and was always available to answer questions. It’s been over a year, and despite having two young children and a dog, our cabinets still look freshly painted. Worth every penny!”
– Amanda Peterson, Thornton, CO
Erie, CO Custom Color Success
“Finding the right color for our Erie home’s kitchen cabinets was a challenge. We wanted something unique but not too trendy that we’d regret in a few years. Cabinet Refinishing and Cabinet Painting spent extra time helping us choose the perfect shade—a custom-mixed sage green that complements our stone countertops beautifully.
Their attention to detail during the preparation phase was impressive. They removed all doors and drawers to refinish them in their workshop, ensuring a perfectly controlled environment for the finish to cure properly. The cabinet frames were refinished on-site with the same meticulous care. The end result is a kitchen that feels both timeless and fresh. The finish is incredibly durable—we’ve accidentally bumped pots and pans against the cabinets with no chipping or marking. We appreciate not just the beautiful result but also their expertise throughout the process. Their team truly are cabinet refinishing artists!”
– Daniel and Emily Crawford, Erie, CO
Longmont, CO Heritage Home Update
“Our 1920s Craftsman home in Longmont has beautiful original woodwork throughout, but the kitchen cabinets were a mismatched collection of additions from various decades. We wanted to honor the home’s character while creating a more cohesive kitchen.
Cabinet Refinishing and Cabinet Painting exceeded our expectations. They carefully assessed each cabinet’s construction and condition, making necessary repairs and adaptations to create a unified look. They suggested a rich cream color with a subtle glaze that highlights the cabinet details while complementing our home’s vintage style. Their knowledge of proper techniques for older cabinetry was impressive—they knew exactly how to approach the various wood types and previous finishes. The transformation maintained our home’s character while giving us the functionality and beauty of a modern kitchen. As historic homeowners, we appreciate that they understood our desire to preserve while still updating. Three years later, the finish is still perfect and we continue to receive compliments from visitors.”
– Thomas and Katherine Reynolds, Longmont, CO
Firestone, CO Family-Friendly Finish
“With three kids under 10, durability was our primary concern when updating our Firestone home’s kitchen cabinets. The original cabinets were a light oak that showed every fingerprint and had begun to wear at the most frequently used doors and drawers.
Cabinet Refinishing and Cabinet Painting recommended their most durable finish in a medium gray that would help hide the inevitable marks that come with a busy family kitchen. The results have exceeded our expectations in both appearance and function. The cabinets look completely transformed—modern and fresh, yet timeless enough to age well with our home. Most importantly, they’ve withstood two years of heavy use without a single chip or scratch. Their cleaning process before refinishing was extraordinarily thorough—they removed years of built-up grease and grime we didn’t even know was there. We’re convinced this proper preparation is why the finish has been so durable. For families considering cabinet refinishing, we can’t recommend them highly enough!”
– James and Nicole Roberts, Firestone, CO
Louisville, CO Open Concept Enhancement
“After removing a wall to create an open concept in our Louisville home, our dated oak cabinets became even more noticeable as they were now visible from our living room. We wanted a sophisticated, cohesive look that would flow with the rest of our home’s modern aesthetic.
Cabinet Refinishing and Cabinet Painting suggested a warm white for our perimeter cabinets and a complementary charcoal for our island, creating a dramatic focal point. Their process was methodical and detailed—they removed all doors and hardware, thoroughly prepped every surface, and applied multiple coats for a perfect finish. What impressed us most was their cleanliness throughout the project. Despite extensive sanding and painting, they contained the mess remarkably well, which was important since we were living in the home during the renovation. The finished cabinets transformed not just our kitchen but our entire main floor. Friends assume we installed all new cabinetry, and are shocked when we tell them it’s the original cabinets refinished. This was the best investment we could have made in our home.”
– Matthew and Olivia Bennett, Louisville, CO
Superior, CO Small Space Maximization
“Our Superior townhome has a compact kitchen that felt cramped and dark with the original medium-brown cabinets. We wanted to brighten and visually expand the space but weren’t sure if refinishing would make enough of a difference.
Cabinet Refinishing and Cabinet Painting assured us that color choice would dramatically impact our small space, and they were absolutely right. They suggested a light, cool-toned gray that reflects more light and creates an airier feel. The transformation was remarkable—our kitchen feels significantly larger and more open. They were extremely accommodating of our tight space, organizing the work to minimize disruption to our daily routine. Their team also suggested removing some cabinet doors to create open shelving areas, which further enhanced the open feeling. The quality of the work is excellent—the finish is smooth and even with no drips or brush marks. For anyone with a small kitchen looking to make it feel larger without removing walls, cabinet refinishing is definitely the way to go, and this company delivers exceptional results!”
– Christopher and Rebecca Martinez, Superior, CO
Frederick, CO Farmhouse Revival
“Our 1970s ranch in Frederick had great bones but a kitchen that hadn’t been updated since it was built. The dark wood cabinets were solid maple but looked extremely dated. We wanted to achieve a modern farmhouse look without the expense of complete replacement.
Cabinet Refinishing and Cabinet Painting transformed our kitchen beyond our imagination. They refinished our cabinets in a beautiful creamy white and suggested adding some simple trim to the flat cabinet doors to give them a shaker-style appearance, which perfectly suited our farmhouse vision. They also accommodated our request to remove some upper cabinets and replace them with floating shelves, which they crafted and finished to match the cabinets perfectly. Their attention to detail was impressive—even the inside edges of the cabinets were properly finished, something other companies said they wouldn’t do. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding, and the finish has maintained its beauty despite daily use. The entire project was completed on time and within budget, making it the smoothest home improvement experience we’ve ever had.”
– William and Elizabeth Anderson, Frederick, CO
The Benefits of Cabinet Refinishing vs. Replacement
Many homeowners are surprised to learn about the numerous advantages cabinet refinishing offers compared to full replacement:
- Cost Savings: Refinishing typically costs 40-60% less than replacing cabinets, allowing you to allocate budget to other home improvements.
- Faster Completion: While cabinet replacement can take weeks or even months, our refinishing process is typically completed in 5-7 days, minimizing disruption to your daily life.
- Environmentally Friendly: Refinishing keeps perfectly good cabinetry out of landfills, making it a more sustainable choice.
- Customization Options: Our process allows for complete color customization, hardware updates, and even minor style changes to cabinet doors.
- Maintain Existing Layout: If your current cabinet layout works well, refinishing preserves this functional design while updating the appearance.
- Preserve Solid Wood: Many older cabinets are constructed of higher quality materials than new budget options. Refinishing preserves these quality components.
Is Cabinet Refinishing Right for Your Colorado Home?
Cabinet refinishing is an excellent option for many homeowners, but it’s not the perfect solution for every situation. Here’s how to determine if refinishing is right for your Colorado home:
Cabinet refinishing is ideal when:
- Your cabinet boxes and doors are structurally sound
- You’re satisfied with your current kitchen layout
- You want to update the look of your kitchen without major construction
- Your budget doesn’t allow for full cabinet replacement
- You prefer environmentally friendly renovation options
- You want to minimize renovation time and disruption
Cabinet replacement might be better when:

Our Cabinet Refinishing Color Trends for 2025-2026
As we move through 2025, we’re seeing several color trends emerging in kitchen cabinet design across Colorado homes:
- Warm Whites and Creams: Moving away from the stark whites of previous years, warm whites and soft creams are gaining popularity for their ability to create a welcoming, timeless look.
- Muted Blues and Greens: Soft, nature-inspired hues like sage green, dusty blue, and muted teal offer a perfect balance of color without overwhelming the space.
- Rich Earth Tones: Warm terracottas, subtle rusts, and muted clay colors are making a strong comeback, particularly in homes with a Southwestern or modern rustic aesthetic.
- Two-Tone Combinations: Mixing light upper cabinets with darker lower cabinets or a contrasting island continues to be a popular choice for adding visual interest.
- Black and Charcoal Accents: While all-black kitchens are becoming less common, black or charcoal as an accent color (particularly on islands or lower cabinets) creates a sophisticated, grounded look.
Our design consultants can help you navigate these trends and select a color palette that will both reflect your personal style and stand the test of time.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cabinet Refinishing
How long does the cabinet refinishing process take?
For an average-sized kitchen (15-20 cabinet doors), our professional refinishing process typically takes 5-7 days from start to finish. Larger kitchens or those requiring significant repairs may take slightly longer. We’ll provide you with a specific timeline during your consultation.
How durable is the finish? Will it chip or peel?
When properly applied by our experienced professionals, our cabinet finishes are extremely durable and resistant to chipping, peeling, and yellowing. We use commercial-grade products specifically formulated for cabinet surfaces that withstand the humidity, temperature changes, and daily use typical in kitchen environments. With proper care, your refinished cabinets will maintain their beauty for many years.
Can you change my cabinet door style during refinishing?
While refinishing primarily addresses the finish rather than the door style, we can make some modifications to update the look of your cabinets. This includes adding trim to flat doors to create a shaker-style appearance, replacing some solid doors with glass-front versions, or removing doors entirely for an open shelving look. For complete door style changes, we offer cabinet refacing services as well.
Will cabinet refinishing fix damaged areas?
Yes, our process includes repairing minor to moderate damage such as scratches, dents, scuffs, and worn edges. For cabinets with more significant damage, we’ll assess whether refinishing is still a viable option or if certain components might need replacement.
Do you refinish the cabinet interiors?
Our standard refinishing process focuses on the visible surfaces—cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and cabinet face frames. Interior surfaces can be refinished for an additional cost, though many homeowners choose to leave interiors as is since they’re less visible and refinishing them extends the project timeline.
How should I prepare for my cabinet refinishing project?
We recommend emptying all cabinets and drawers before our arrival. Clear countertops of small appliances and personal items, and remove any fragile items from nearby rooms. Our team will handle all furniture moving, floor protection, and dust containment required for the project.
