Cabinet Painting in Cambridge, MA.
Kitchen and bath cabinets refinished with HVLP-sprayed factory-smooth coatings — a fraction of the cost of replacement, in about a week.
Cambridge kitchens deserve a finish that lasts.
Cambridge is one of the most architecturally varied cities in the country — Victorian and Edwardian three-deckers throughout the older neighborhoods, brick row houses near Central Square, Colonial Revivals near Harvard Square, modern condos throughout, and historic worker housing in Cambridgeport. MIT and Harvard anchor everything.
Why refinish instead of replace in Cambridge
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 Cambridge kitchens we walk into have solid-wood boxes that absolutely qualify for refinishing.
Our Cambridge 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.
Cambridge-specific notes
Cambridge's pre-1940 housing has universal lead-paint history; multi-family condo work requires association compliance. Pair this with interior painting in Cambridge if the kitchen walls or trim need a refresh too — bundling typically shortens the total project timeline.
Answers from Cambridge homeowners.
Do you work with Cambridge condo associations?
Yes. Cambridge multi-family and condo work needs association approvals and color compliance. We coordinate with management before mobilizing and provide written paint specs for board sign-off.
What does cabinet painting cost in Cambridge?
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 Cambridge?
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.
