Transform Your Cabinets with Factory-Style Finishes
Why replace your cabinets when you can transform them? Our cabinet painting service converts dated oak, maple, or other wood cabinets into beautiful, modern finishes that look factory-fresh.

Update Your Kitchen for a Fraction of Replacement Cost
Staring at those dated honey oak or dark cherry cabinets? You’re not alone. Many Phoenix homeowners want to modernize their kitchens without the expense and disruption of a full remodel. Professional cabinet painting delivers dramatic results at 50-70% less than cabinet replacement.
Why Paint Instead of Replace?
Cabinet replacement is a major undertaking:
- Costs $15,000-$50,000+ for an average kitchen
- Takes 4-8 weeks including ordering and installation
- Requires disconnecting appliances and countertops
- Generates significant demolition waste
Cabinet painting, on the other hand:
- Costs $3,000-$8,000 for most kitchens
- Completes in 5-7 days
- Keeps your existing layout and countertops
- Transforms your space with zero demolition
The John Claude Cabinet Painting Process
We don’t just slap paint on cabinets—we deliver factory-quality results:
Step 1: Thorough Assessment
We examine every cabinet for damage, loose joints, or issues that need repair before painting.
Step 2: Precise Labeling & Removal
Each door, drawer, and piece of hardware is labeled for exact reinstallation. Nothing gets mixed up.
Step 3: Professional Preparation
- Surfaces are cleaned to remove grease and grime
- Wood is deglossed and sanded for paint adhesion
- Holes and imperfections are filled and smoothed
- Premium primer is applied to seal the surface
Step 4: Factory-Style Spray Application
We use professional HVLP spray equipment—the same technology used in furniture factories—to apply:
- Multiple thin coats for even coverage
- Premium cabinet-grade paint for durability
- Smooth, brush-mark-free finishes
Step 5: Quality Reinstallation
Doors are carefully reinstalled with precise alignment. We can install new hardware or reuse your existing pulls and knobs.

Cabinets FAQs
Common questions about our services
Cabinet painting is an excellent alternative if your cabinets are structurally sound. Our factory-style spray finishes are durable and look professional, typically at 50-70% less cost than replacement. The finish will last 10+ years with proper care.
A typical kitchen takes 5-7 days. We remove doors and drawers, prep and paint them offsite or in your garage, then reinstall everything. We work to minimize disruption to your kitchen use during the process.
White and off-white remain the most popular choices, creating bright, open kitchens. We're also seeing increased demand for navy blue, sage green, and warm gray tones. Two-tone kitchens with a contrasting island are very on-trend.
Not when done correctly! We use specialized cabinet paints designed for high-traffic areas. Proper prep (cleaning, deglossing, priming) ensures the paint bonds permanently to the surface. Our finishes stand up to daily kitchen use for years.
