Cabinet Painting in Woburn, MA.
Kitchen and bath cabinets across North Woburn and Montvale and all of Woburn, refinished with HVLP-sprayed factory-smooth coatings — a fraction of the cost of replacement, in about a week.
Save vs replacement — Woburn cabinet refinishing done right.
Woburn, a former tannery town just north of the city, hides a surprisingly old housing stock — parts of North Woburn date to the 1700s through the 1920s, with colonials and Colonial Revivals older than they look, while Cummingsville and East Woburn are mostly mid-century suburban. That range means our prep on a North Woburn antique is nothing like our prep on a 1960s Cummingsville ranch.
Homes we paint in Woburn
Kitchen vintages track the neighborhoods. The Woburn housing stock runs a wide range: A wide age range — some North Woburn homes date to the 1700s–1920s as colonials and Colonial Revivals, while Cummingsville and the outer neighborhoods are largely mid-1900s suburban single-family. We work across North Woburn, Montvale, Cummingsville, East Woburn, Central Square, and Walnut Hill — adapting prep and product to each home's era and substrate rather than running every Woburn project through one process.
Why refinish instead of replace in Woburn
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 Woburn kitchens we walk into have solid-wood boxes that absolutely qualify for refinishing.
Our Woburn cabinet process
- Two finish coats of waterborne alkyd — Benjamin Moore Advance or SW Emerald Urethane — HVLP-sprayed in our shop.
- Reinstall with optional new hinges and pulls.
- 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.
Woburn-specific notes
Woburn's older North Woburn homes frequently pre-date 1978 despite their updated appearance, so lead-safe prep applies there — while the newer suburban neighborhoods need standard substrate prep and bonding primers. Pair this with interior painting in Woburn if the kitchen walls or trim need a refresh too — bundling typically shortens the total project timeline.

Answers from Woburn homeowners.
Are older North Woburn homes lead-safe projects?
Often yes. North Woburn has homes dating back to the 1700s–1920s that don't always look their age. When a Woburn home pre-dates 1978, we apply EPA RRP lead-safe practices — containment, HEPA cleanup, documented verification — regardless of how recently the exterior was last painted over.
Which Woburn neighborhoods do you serve?
We paint homes throughout Woburn — North Woburn, Montvale, Cummingsville, East Woburn, Central Square, and Walnut Hill, and the surrounding streets. Same crew, same spec, and the same written warranty regardless of which Woburn neighborhood you're in.
What does cabinet painting cost in Woburn?
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 Woburn?
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 Woburn, MA?
Cabinet refinishing in Woburn 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 Woburn?
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.
