Cabinet Painting serving Weston and Metro West MA.
Kitchen and bath cabinets refinished with HVLP-sprayed factory-smooth coatings — a fraction of the cost of replacement, in about a week.
From dated to fresh — Weston cabinet refinishing in 5–7 days.
Weston is the highest median-income town in Massachusetts and the architecture reflects it — estate-scale colonials and Georgians on multi-acre lots, mid-century moderns tucked along Stony Brook, restored 18th-century farmhouses near Town Green, and tasteful new builds engineered around the town's strict historic guidelines. Listings here sell on detail, and the paint spec is part of the detail.
Why refinish instead of replace in Weston
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 Weston kitchens we walk into have solid-wood boxes that absolutely qualify for refinishing.
Our Weston 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.
Weston-specific notes
Weston town bylaws restrict color palettes near historic properties and limit exterior work hours; we schedule and document compliance on every estimate that touches a regulated property. Pair this with interior painting in Weston if the kitchen walls or trim need a refresh too — bundling typically shortens the total project timeline.

Answers from Weston homeowners.
Can you work within Weston's historic-preservation guidelines?
Yes. We've handled multiple Weston projects that required preservation-board color approval or historic district paperwork — we coordinate the approval timeline into the project schedule and document compliance on the estimate.
What does cabinet painting cost in Weston?
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 Weston?
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 Weston, MA?
Cabinet refinishing in Weston 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.
Is refinishing cabinets really cheaper than replacing?
Yes — typically 25-40% of replacement cost in Weston. Industry averages: a $7,500 refinish vs a $25,000 replacement on the same standard kitchen. Refinishing also takes about a week vs 4-8 weeks for replacement, and you keep your existing layout and counter. Only worth replacing if the boxes are damaged, the layout is wrong, or you want different door profiles.
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 Weston?
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.
