Why Paint Instead of Replace?
Most Katy homes built in the last 10-20 years have structurally sound cabinets with outdated finishes. The honey oak and dark cherry stains that were popular in the 2000s now make kitchens feel dated. Professional cabinet painting transforms these kitchens for a fraction of replacement cost, without demolition, plumbing disconnection, or weeks of disruption.
| Option | Cost | Timeline | Disruption |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cabinet Painting | $3,000–$8,000 | 5–7 days | Minimal |
| Refacing | $8,000–$15,000 | 1–2 weeks | Moderate |
| Full Replacement | $15,000–$40,000 | 3–6 weeks | Major |
Our 6-Step Cabinet Painting Process
Remove & Label
All doors, drawers, and hardware are removed and labeled with a numbering system so everything goes back exactly where it belongs.
Degrease & Clean
Cabinets are thoroughly degreased with TSP to remove years of cooking oils, grease, and grime that prevent paint adhesion.
Sand & Fill
All surfaces are sanded to create a mechanical bond. For oak cabinets, grain filler is applied and sanded smooth for a seamless finish.
Prime
A bonding primer (Sherwin-Williams Extreme Bond or BM Fresh Start) is applied to ensure maximum adhesion and stain blocking.
Spray Two Coats
Two coats of premium hybrid alkyd paint are applied via HVLP sprayer for a factory-smooth, brush-mark-free finish with excellent hardness.
Reinstall & Hardware
Doors and drawers are carefully reinstalled. New hardware is mounted if provided. Final quality inspection with the homeowner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does cabinet painting cost in Katy TX?
Cabinet painting in Katy typically costs $3,000-$8,000 for a full kitchen, or $30-$60 per linear foot. This includes degreasing, sanding, priming, two coats of paint, and new hardware installation. Compare to $15,000-$40,000 for full cabinet replacement.
How long does cabinet painting take?
A typical Katy kitchen takes 5-7 business days. Day 1-2: removal, degreasing, and sanding. Day 3: priming. Day 4-5: two coats of paint via HVLP sprayer. Day 6-7: reinstall doors, drawers, and new hardware. Your kitchen is functional throughout.
What finish do you use on cabinets?
We use a satin or semi-gloss finish for durability and easy cleaning. Our preferred products are Sherwin-Williams ProClassic and Benjamin Moore Advance, both hybrid alkyd formulas that self-level for a factory-smooth finish.
Can you paint oak cabinets with heavy grain?
Yes. For oak and other open-grain woods, we apply grain filler before priming to create a smooth surface. The result looks like factory-built painted cabinets, not painted-over wood grain.
What colors are popular for Katy kitchen cabinets?
White (SW Extra White, BM Chantilly Lace) remains the #1 choice in Katy. Navy blue islands, sage green, and warm greige are trending in 2026. Two-tone combinations with a white upper and colored lower are very popular in Cinco Ranch and Grand Lakes homes.
Is cabinet painting better than replacing?
For structurally sound cabinets, painting saves 60-70% vs replacement and takes days instead of weeks. You keep your existing layout, avoid demolition dust, and get a brand-new look. We only recommend replacement if boxes are warped, water-damaged, or structurally compromised.
Do you paint bathroom vanities too?
Yes. We paint bathroom vanities, linen cabinets, built-in bookshelves, and any wood cabinetry using the same professional spray process. Bathroom vanities typically cost $800-$2,000 depending on size.
What about the cabinet hinges and hardware?
We remove all doors, drawers, hinges, and hardware before painting. We can reinstall your existing hardware or install new hardware you provide. If you need hardware recommendations, we can suggest suppliers that match popular Katy design styles.
