Cabinet Painting in Arlington, MA.
Kitchen and bath cabinets refinished with HVLP-sprayed factory-smooth coatings — a fraction of the cost of replacement, in about a week.
Arlington kitchens deserve a finish that lasts.
Arlington is a dense, affluent suburb on the Lexington line — Victorian and Edwardian three-deckers throughout the older neighborhoods, Colonial Revivals in Arlington Heights, brick condos near Arlington Center, and mid-century moderns scattered through the newer subdivisions. Spy Pond anchors the green-space character.
Why refinish instead of replace in Arlington
New cabinets mean weeks of demolition, custom orders, and 4–8× the cost. Refinishing keeps the boxes you have and gives them a finish that looks factory-applied — done in about a week. Most Arlington kitchens we walk into have solid-wood boxes that absolutely qualify for refinishing.
Our Arlington cabinet process
- Label and remove every door, drawer, and hardware piece — they go to our shop.
- Degrease (TSP substitute) and scuff-sand all surfaces with 220-grit.
- Two coats of bonding primer (Zinsser BIN or STIX) on every component.
- Two finish coats of waterborne alkyd — Benjamin Moore Advance or Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel — HVLP-sprayed in our shop.
- Reinstall with optional new hinges and pulls.
Arlington-specific notes
Arlington's pre-1940 three-deckers carry lead-paint history; tight-lot suburbs mean staging is the constraint, not labor. Pair this with interior painting in Arlington if the kitchen walls or trim need a refresh too — bundling typically shortens the total project timeline.
Answers from Arlington homeowners.
Are you considerate of Arlington neighbors during exterior projects?
Yes. We coordinate driveway access in tight-lot suburbs, limit pressure-washing to standard daytime hours, and walk the property line before starting so neighbors aren't surprised.
What does cabinet painting cost in Arlington?
Pricing depends on cabinet count, detail level, and hardware choices. Every quote is free, on-site, and itemized — you know exactly what you're paying for before we start.
Can I use the kitchen during the cabinet project in Arlington?
We remove your doors and drawers so the boxes are accessible, but we typically need 2–3 days of limited kitchen use while we spray boxes on-site under containment. Most homeowners plan to eat out those days.
What's your cabinet finish warranty?
We back our cabinet refinishing for one year on workmanship — chips from normal use are touched up free in that window. Most clients see 7–10+ years of life from the finish in normal kitchen use.
