Cabinet Painting in Marietta, GA

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

Most Marietta kitchens run $3,500-$5,500 for a standard kitchen with up to 15 cabinet doors. Medium kitchens with 15-30 doors run $5,500-$8,000. Large kitchens with 30+ doors run $8,000-$12,000. Bathroom vanities start at $800. Your price depends on door count, current finish condition, and whether you are changing colors or refreshing the existing shade. 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 Marietta 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 Marietta 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 Marietta 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.

My East Cobb kitchen has over 40 oak cabinet doors. How long will the project take?

A 40-to-50 door kitchen in East Cobb typically takes five to six working days. Day one is door removal, labeling, and face frame prep. Days two through four are spray application of primer and finish coats on the doors while the face frames are painted in place. Day five is reinstallation and hardware. Larger projects with a butler's pantry or laundry may extend to seven days.

Are the cathedral-top cabinet doors in my Marietta home harder to paint than flat doors?

They require more skill but produce beautiful results. The curved upper rail on cathedral doors tends to collect paint if sprayed too heavily, causing drips along the arch. Our technicians use adjusted spray settings for profiled doors, with lighter fluid output, tighter fan pattern, and additional passes to build a smooth, uniform coat that follows the curve without pooling.

Should I paint my Marietta kitchen cabinets or replace them?

If your oak or maple cabinets are structurally sound, and in most East Cobb homes they are, painting is the clear winner. Cabinet replacement in a large Marietta kitchen runs $15,000 to $30,000 or more when you factor in demolition, new boxes, countertop refitting, and plumbing. Professional cabinet painting delivers a factory-fresh look at roughly one-third that cost, and the solid wood construction you already have is often better quality than what comes in new stock cabinet lines.
