Cabinet Painting in Newton, MA.

Newton kitchens deserve a finish that lasts.

Newton is one of Greater Boston's most architecturally rich cities — Victorian and Colonial Revival mansions in Newton Centre and Auburndale, Tudor and Shingle-style homes in Chestnut Hill, mid-century moderns in Newton Highlands, and high-end contemporary customs scattered through every village. The standard for paint work matches the architecture.

Why refinish instead of replace in Newton

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 Newton kitchens we walk into have solid-wood boxes that absolutely qualify for refinishing.

Our Newton 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.

Newton-specific notes

Newton's pre-1940 housing stock typically has lead paint and original-spec wood substrate — EPA RRP certification is mandatory and we pair it with hand-finished trim that respects period craftsmanship. Pair this with interior painting in Newton if the kitchen walls or trim need a refresh too — bundling typically shortens the total project timeline.
