Cabinet Painting in Johns Creek, GA

What's the average cost to paint kitchen cabinets in Johns Creek?

You get a fixed written quote after a free kitchen assessment — and that number is the number you pay. No change orders. No surprise fees.

How long does cabinet painting take?

3-5 days for most Johns Creek kitchens. That covers door and hardware removal, thorough degreasing, sanding, bonding primer, spraying multiple finish coats, and reinstalling all hardware. Your kitchen stays usable throughout the project. Doors cure off-site so they are not taking up counter or floor space in your home.

Is it worth it to have cabinets professionally painted?

Yes — if your cabinet boxes are structurally sound and you like your layout. Professional cabinet painting saves 50-70% compared to replacement and delivers a factory-smooth finish that a DIY project cannot match. Cabinet refinishing in Johns Creek typically costs $3,500-$5,500 versus $15,000-$50,000 for new cabinets. The National Association of Realtors reports that kitchen updates including cabinet painting recoup 75% of project cost at resale. For most Johns Creek homeowners, it is the smarter investment.

What kind of paint do professionals use on cabinets?

Benjamin Moore Advance and Sherwin-Williams ProClassic. Both are alkyd-modified enamels that self-level for a factory-smooth finish, resist yellowing, and hold up to daily kitchen wear for 8-10 years. Cabinet spray painting with these products delivers even, brush-mark-free coverage across every door and frame. These are the same products used on high-end custom cabinetry — not the latex wall paint you find at a home improvement store.

How long does professional cabinet painting last?

8-10 years with normal use when prep is done right. Kitchen cabinet refinishing starts with thorough degreasing to remove cooking oils, followed by sanding for adhesion and a bonding primer before any finish coat. That preparation is what makes paint stick and resist daily kitchen wear. Every OVO cabinet painting project includes a 5 to 10-year written warranty. If something fails within that window, we come back and make it right.

Can you paint cabinets without removing them?

We remove every door for off-site spray application — that is how you get a factory-smooth finish with zero brush marks. Painting doors while they are hanging almost always produces an uneven result. Doors are removed, sprayed in a controlled environment, and rehung once cured. Cabinet frames stay in place and are carefully taped and sprayed on-site. Your kitchen stays accessible and usable throughout the project.

Do you paint the insides of cabinets?

Interior cabinet painting is available as an add-on. Most homeowners choose to paint the exterior faces, doors, and drawer fronts — which is what visitors see. Adding the interior surfaces increases cost and timeline by a few days. Your crew walks through all options during the free kitchen assessment so you can decide what makes sense for your kitchen and your budget.

Do I need to empty my cabinets before painting?

Yes. Emptying your cabinets protects your belongings from dust and paint particles during prep and spraying. Your crew gives you a clear timeline before the project starts so you can plan around it. Most homeowners find the 3-5 day window manageable — especially since your kitchen stays usable throughout.

What if I am not happy with the result?

We will not leave your home until you are completely satisfied — no questions asked. You walk every cabinet surface with your crew lead before they leave. If anything needs attention, it gets handled on the spot. And every OVO cabinet painting project is backed by a 5 to 10-year written warranty — so your investment is protected long after the crew is gone.

Can you paint laminate cabinets?

Yes. Laminate requires a specialized bonding primer designed for non-porous surfaces so the finish adheres properly. With the right primer and professional spray application, laminate cabinets get the same factory-smooth result as wood cabinets. Your crew confirms the surface type during the free kitchen assessment and adjusts the prep accordingly.

Can you paint over the glazed finish on my Johns Creek kitchen cabinets?

Yes, but the glaze must be fully removed first. The dark glaze that was popular in Country Club of the South and St. Ives kitchens sits on top of the base finish and acts as a barrier to primer adhesion. We strip the glaze using chemical methods and hand-sand the recesses where it collects most heavily. Once the surface is clean and uniformly prepped, your cabinets take primer and paint beautifully. The result is a smooth, modern finish with no trace of the original antiqued look.

My Johns Creek kitchen has over 40 doors including the butler's pantry. Can you handle that?

Large-scale projects are our specialty in Johns Creek. A 40-plus door kitchen with butler's pantry and wine room typically takes six to eight working days. We remove, label, and spray every door systematically in batches to ensure consistent coverage and curing. Your kitchen remains functional throughout with temporary pulls so you can access your cabinets while the doors are being finished.

Will the painted finish on my custom cherry cabinets look as smooth as the original?

That is our standard, not a stretch goal. We spray all doors and drawer fronts in a controlled environment using fine-atomization tips that produce a film as smooth as any factory-applied catalyzed finish. Every piece is inspected under raking light before it goes back on the cabinet box. Cherry requires a shellac-based primer to block tannin bleed, which we include in every cherry cabinet painting project.
