Cabinet Painting right here in Grafton, Massachusetts.
Kitchen and bath cabinets across downtown Grafton and North Grafton and all of Grafton, refinished with HVLP-sprayed factory-smooth coatings — a fraction of the cost of replacement, in about a week.
Cabinet refinishing for Grafton kitchens — HVLP factory finish in about a week.
Grafton has grown into one of the Worcester area's higher-end suburbs — restored 19th-century homes around downtown, post-2000 luxury subdivisions in North Grafton, antique farmhouses near the Tufts Veterinary School campus, and 1960s–80s suburbs filling South Grafton. The MBTA commuter rail station keeps the inventory moving.
Homes we paint in Grafton
Kitchen vintages track the neighborhoods. The Grafton housing stock runs a wide range: Restored 19th-century homes downtown, post-2000 luxury subdivisions in North Grafton, antique farmhouses around the Tufts Veterinary campus, and 1960s–80s suburbs in South Grafton. We work across downtown Grafton, North Grafton, South Grafton, near Tufts Veterinary School, and Saundersville — adapting prep and product to each home's era and substrate rather than running every Grafton project through one process.
Why refinish instead of replace in Grafton
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 Grafton kitchens we walk into have solid-wood boxes that absolutely qualify for refinishing.
Our Grafton cabinet process
- Grain-fill on open-grain oak when you want a fully smooth, modern look.
- Two coats of bonding primer (Zinsser BIN or STIX) on every component.
- Label and remove every door, drawer, and hardware piece — they go to our shop.
- Full plastic containment around the kitchen before we spray boxes on-site.
- Reinstall with optional new hinges and pulls.
Grafton-specific notes
Grafton's listing-prep market expects the same finish quality as Wellesley or Sudbury — hand-finished trim, sharp cut-lines, and color palettes that photograph well. Pair this with interior painting in Grafton if the kitchen walls or trim need a refresh too — bundling typically shortens the total project timeline.

Answers from Grafton homeowners.
Do you do listing-prep paint in Grafton?
Yes — Grafton listing-prep is a regular line of work. Hand-applied trim with Benjamin Moore Advance, sharp cut-lines on every wall-ceiling joint, and free color consulting before we commit to a spec.
Which Grafton neighborhoods do you serve?
We paint homes throughout Grafton — downtown Grafton, North Grafton, South Grafton, near Tufts Veterinary School, and Saundersville, and the surrounding streets. Same crew, same spec, and the same written warranty regardless of which Grafton neighborhood you're in.
What does cabinet painting cost in Grafton?
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 Grafton?
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.
How much does cabinet painting cost in Grafton, MA?
Cabinet refinishing in Grafton costs $2,800-14,000 depending on door count. Small kitchens (under 15 doors) are $2,800-5,000; standard 15-25 door kitchens $5,000-8,500; large 25-40 door kitchens $8,500-14,000. Vanities alone start at $650. New hinges + soft-close pulls add $300-800.
How long does HVLP-sprayed cabinet finish last?
With proper Benjamin Moore Advance or Sherwin Emerald Urethane Trim application: 10+ years in a normal-use kitchen. Heavy-use commercial-style kitchens may show wear in 7-8 years. AJ Painting workmanship-warranty touch-ups are honored per the terms confirmed in writing on the signed estimate; chips outside the warranty window are easy DIY with a matching paint sample.
Can I use the kitchen during the cabinet project in Grafton?
Mostly yes. Doors and drawers go to a shop for 4-5 days while boxes remain functional. On the on-site spray day the kitchen is out of service for ~24 hours of cure time. Reinstall takes 1-2 days after that. Net: ~2-3 days of meaningful kitchen disruption, not a full week.
