Cabinet Painting serving Millis and Metro West MA.
Kitchen and bath cabinets across downtown Millis and Clicquot and all of Millis, refinished with HVLP-sprayed factory-smooth coatings — a fraction of the cost of replacement, in about a week.
Millis kitchen cabinets, restored to factory smooth.
Millis is a quiet bedroom community — antique colonials around the downtown center, 1950s–70s suburban capes and ranches filling most of the town, and newer construction on larger lots toward the Medway line. Most projects we run here are full-home repaints for owners staying long-term.
Homes we paint in Millis
Kitchen vintages track the neighborhoods. The Millis housing stock runs a wide range: Antique colonials around downtown, 1950s–70s suburban capes and ranches, and newer construction on larger lots toward Medway. We work across downtown Millis, Clicquot, near Bogastow Brook, and the Medway line — adapting prep and product to each home's era and substrate rather than running every Millis project through one process.
Why refinish instead of replace in Millis
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 Millis kitchens we walk into have solid-wood boxes that absolutely qualify for refinishing.
Our Millis cabinet process
- Reinstall with optional new hinges and pulls.
- Two finish coats of waterborne alkyd — Benjamin Moore Advance or SW Emerald Urethane — HVLP-sprayed in our shop.
- 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.
- Grain-fill on open-grain oak when you want a fully smooth, modern look.
Millis-specific notes
Millis's tight-lot suburbs mean staging is the constraint, not labor — we coordinate driveway access with neighbors. Pair this with interior painting in Millis if the kitchen walls or trim need a refresh too — bundling typically shortens the total project timeline.
Typical Massachusetts market pricing for Millis-area cabinet refinishing
Cabinet refinishing in Millis, MA runs $2,800 to $14,000 depending on door count and kitchen size. The ranges below reflect typical 2025–2026 Massachusetts contractor market pricing for a full HVLP-sprayed process (Benjamin Moore Advance or Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Trim, shop spray + on-site box spray + reinstall). Compared to cabinet replacement in the same kitchen, refinishing typically costs 25-40% of replacement and ships in about a week instead of 4-8. AJ Painting prices each kitchen individually after a free on-site walk-around — these market ranges are educational, not an AJ quote.

What pushes the Millis price up or down
- Door count — every door, drawer, and panel is sprayed individually

- Hardware reuse vs replacement — new soft-close hinges + pulls add $300-800
- Finish — satin/semi-gloss/lacquer; specialty colors add 1 coat

Answers from Millis homeowners.
Are you considerate of Millis neighbors during projects?
Yes. We confirm work hours upfront, limit pressure-washing to standard daytime hours, and coordinate driveway access in tight-lot Millis neighborhoods.
Which Millis neighborhoods do you serve?
We paint homes throughout Millis — downtown Millis, Clicquot, near Bogastow Brook, and the Medway line, and the surrounding streets. Same crew, same spec, and the same written warranty regardless of which Millis neighborhood you're in.
What does cabinet painting cost in Millis?
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 Millis?
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 Millis, MA?
Cabinet refinishing in Millis 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.
Can I use the kitchen during the cabinet project in Millis?
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.
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.
