The Shortcut to a Kitchen That Feels New

Sometimes a kitchen just needs a refresh, not a full renovation. If your layout is working well and your storage makes sense, but the finish has worn down, and the color feels stuck in another decade, cabinet painting is often the smartest path forward. You get a noticeable update without the cost, mess, or timeline of tearing everything out.

At Kurtis Kitchen & Bath, we've been helping Southeast Michigan homeowners love their kitchens again for more than 55 years. Our specialized painting process delivers a factory-quality look that’s much more durable than standard paint, giving you a finish that won't peel or fade.

How does cabinet painting work?

A great paint job comes down to preparation and patience. Every phase of our process is designed to prevent a mess and produce a result that you’ll be proud to show off.

Here's how a typical project comes together:

Preparation

We’ll assess and document your cabinets, then prep all surfaces to ensure proper adhesion and a clean base for finishing.

Door & Drawer Removal

We’ll lay down drop cloths and remove all doors, drawer fronts, and hardware before any work begins.

Factory Finishing

Doors and drawer fronts are transported to our facility, where they're sprayed with waterborne acrylic urethane enamel for an even coat.

Protection

Everything inside your cabinets can stay put. We’ll cover and protect all surrounding surfaces before starting on-site work.

Containment

Telescopic poles with plastic barriers are installed to isolate the work area, and air movers control airflow to keep dust and overspray contained.

On-Site Application

Cabinet boxes and molding are painted in your home using the same specialized materials as our off-site work.

Reinstallation

After the painting is complete, we’ll carefully rehang and adjust every door so your kitchen looks perfectly aligned and brand new.

By following this step-by-step approach, we take the stress out of your kitchen upgrade while delivering a finish that truly lasts. You don’t have to worry about lingering paint smell or a messy workspace, as our containment and ventilation methods keep your home breathable throughout the project. From the first drop cloth to the final rehung door, our technicians handle every phase with total respect for your home.

A Finish That Stays True Over Time

The coating we use makes a bigger difference than most people expect. Waterborne acrylic urethane enamel is a professional-grade finish formulated for cabinetry and behaves very differently from standard wall paint or coatings you'd find in a DIY project. It bonds tightly to the surface, dries to a hard shell, and holds up to daily wear. And because it's waterborne rather than oil-based, it also has significantly less odor during application and cures to a finish that resists yellowing over time.

On the design side, your color options are wide open. Soft whites and warm creams remain popular for a reason, as they pair well with almost any countertop or backsplash. Deeper tones like navy, sage, and charcoal have become strong choices for homeowners seeking a bit more personality. Two-tone kitchens, where the upper and lower cabinets are painted in complementary colors, are another direction worth considering if you want contrast without going all-in on a bold shade. Ultimately, we’re here to deliver a kitchen that isn’t just stunning to look at, but that’s also tough enough to handle the reality of a busy home.

Cabinet Painting vs. Cabinet Refacing

Painting and refacing are excellent alternatives to a major renovation, but the right choice depends on the current state of your cabinets and the look you want to achieve.

Cabinet painting is focused on color and finish. If your cabinet boxes are in solid shape and the style still works for you, painting gives you a cohesive look without changing anything structural. It's the more budget-friendly option and the faster path to a kitchen that feels new again.

Cabinet refacing takes things a step further. In addition to updating the finish, refacing replaces your door and drawer fronts entirely, allowing you to change the style, profile, and material of what you see and touch. The cabinet boxes stay in place, but everything visible gets upgraded.

Ideas You Can Picture in Your Own Home

We serve homeowners throughout Oakland, Wayne, and Macomb counties, with regular work in communities such as Royal Oak, Bloomfield Hills, West Bloomfield, Utica, and surrounding areas. No matter where you are in the region, we bring the same process and quality standards to every project.

Reviews

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

Deborah D.

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

Shannon O.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
