Cabinet painting in Boise, ID refinishes existing kitchen or bathroom cabinets without replacing them. We remove all doors and drawer fronts, sand every surface, apply a bonding primer, and spray two finish coats for a smooth, even result.
We start by removing every door, drawer front, and hardware piece and labeling each one so they go back in the right location. The cabinet boxes and all removed pieces are sanded with fine-grit paper to scuff the existing finish and help the primer bond. After priming, we allow a full drying day before applying finish coats. Spraying rather than brushing produces a smoother surface without brush marks. The doors are rehung and hardware reinstalled as the final step.
Replacing kitchen cabinets in a mid-size Boise home typically runs $8,000 to $20,000 or more for the cabinets alone, not counting installation. Cabinet painting costs $900 to $2,500 and produces a result that looks new if the existing cabinet boxes are in good structural shape. If the box frames are damaged, warped, or delaminating, replacement may make more sense. We assess cabinet condition during the estimate walk and give you an honest recommendation.
Cabinets take more daily wear than walls. Hands, cleaning products, and steam from cooking all affect how a finish holds up over time. Semi-gloss is the most common choice because it is durable and easy to wipe clean. Satin is a popular alternative for people who want less sheen. We do not recommend flat or matte finishes on cabinet doors because they show fingerprints and are harder to clean without dulling the surface.
Bathroom vanity painting follows the same process as kitchen cabinets: remove doors, sand, prime, spray finish coats, reinstall. Bathroom environments are more humid than kitchens, so proper priming is especially important on vanity surfaces. Most single-vanity bathroom projects take one to two days and start at around $350 for a standard two-door vanity.
$900 to $2,500 for a full kitchen cabinet repaint in Boise, with bathroom vanities starting at $350
Well-prepped and properly sprayed cabinets last eight to fifteen years with normal use and cleaning. The most common failure points are near the sink and dishwasher where moisture is highest, and on high-traffic doors that are opened dozens of times a day. Quality primer and finish products extend that lifespan significantly.
Yes. We paint both the door and drawer fronts and the visible cabinet box faces. The inside of cabinet boxes is typically not painted unless you specifically request it, since it adds cost and is not visible during normal use.
Laminate is more challenging than wood because paint does not bond to it as readily. With proper scuff sanding and a bonding primer, laminate cabinets can be painted, but the prep step is more critical. We assess the laminate type and condition during the estimate and tell you what to expect before the project starts.
Any color in the major paint brand lines is available, including custom matches. White and off-white tones are the most popular for Boise kitchens right now, followed by warm grays and navy. We can provide color chips and samples during the estimate if you are still deciding.
