Mesquite kitchens are full of solid wood cabinet boxes with dated finishes — honey oak, orange-toned maple, heavy 90s stain. The boxes themselves are usually in great shape. Replacing them costs five figures. Refinishing them costs a fraction of that and, done properly, comes back looking factory-sprayed rather than brushed.
The difference between cabinet painting that lasts and cabinet painting that chips off in a year is almost entirely in degreasing and bonding. Kitchen cabinets carry years of cooking grease, especially around the range and above the sink. Paint does not stick to grease, no matter how good the paint is.
So the sequence matters: clean and degrease, scuff sand, bonding primer, then a sprayed cabinet-grade finish. We spray doors and drawer fronts off-site or in a contained area so you get a smooth surface with no brush marks, and we label everything so it goes back exactly where it came from.
What is actually included when you hire us — no vague scopes.
The step most shortcuts skip. Grease is why cabinet paint peels around ranges and sinks, so we clean to bare, dull the sheen, and bond properly.
Doors and drawer fronts come off and get sprayed so the finish is smooth and even. Brush marks are the giveaway of a rushed cabinet job.
Every door, hinge, and screw is labeled by location. Your kitchen goes back together exactly as it came apart, or better if you are upgrading pulls.
You lose your cabinet doors for a few days, not your kitchen. We sequence the work so you can still cook.
Cabinet painting in Mesquite typically runs $1,200 to $4,000 depending on the size of your kitchen and the number of doors and drawers. That is a small fraction of the $10,000 to $30,000+ a full cabinet replacement usually costs.

In most Mesquite kitchens, yes — and it is the better value by a wide margin. If the boxes are solid and the layout works, painting gives you a factory-smooth updated kitchen for a fraction of replacement cost, usually in a few days.
Not if they are prepped correctly. Peeling is almost always a degreasing or priming failure, not a paint failure. We degrease, scuff sand, use a bonding primer, and finish with a cabinet-grade product built to be cleaned and handled daily.
Typically 3 to 5 days for a standard Mesquite kitchen. Doors and drawer fronts leave for spraying while boxes are done in place, so you keep the use of your kitchen through most of the project.
Yes. Open-grain oak needs grain filling and extra sanding between coats to come back smooth. It is more labor, so we price it honestly up front — but the result is a modern, smooth door rather than an oak door in a new color.
