The Smart Remodel

A Brand New Kitchen at a Fraction of the Cost

Replacing kitchen cabinets in Seattle can cost upwards of $20,000. But often, the boxes and doors are solid wood—they just have a dated orange oak color.

At Couple Of Guys Painting, we specialize in high-end cabinet spraying. We don't just brush on latex paint. We degrease, sand, prime, and spray superior enamels that cure hard enough to resist grease, moisture, and daily wear and tear.

Understanding Your Cabinets

Different materials require different prep techniques.

Oak (Grainy)

Oak has a deep open grain. Painting it white will still show texture unless filled.

  • Heavy Sanding
  • Grain Filling Optional
  • Solid Wood Durability

Maple (Smooth)

Maple is smooth and paints beautifully, but it's hard and non-porous.

  • Bonding Primer Key
  • Super Smooth Finish
  • Looks Factory Made

Thermofoil / Laminate

TRICKY

Plastic coating over MDF. Requires specialized adhesion promoters to stick.

  • Industrial Primer
  • Repair Peeling Edges
  • Cost Effective Fix

Our Refinishing Process

A meticulous system for a lasting finish.

1

Remove & Label

We remove all doors, drawers, and hardware. Every piece is numbered to ensure it goes back in exactly the right spot for a perfect fit.

2

Clean & Sand

Kitchens are greasy. We deep clean with industrial degreasers, then sand surfaces to dull the old finish and create a "tooth" for the primer.

3

Prime & Spray

We apply a high-bond primer to block stains and tannins. Then, we apply two coats of premium cabinet enamel using HVLP or airless sprayers for a flawless finish.

4

Reinstall

Once cured, we transport the doors back, reinstall them with precision alignment, and add new bumpers for a soft close feel.

Cabinet FAQs

Common questions from Seattle homeowners.

Do you spray the cabinets or brush them?

We spray all doors and drawer fronts in our shop or on-site booth for a glass-smooth factory finish. Cabinet boxes (frames) are typically sprayed or rolled with high-density foam rollers depending on the home's layout.

How long will the finish last?

We use industrial-grade catalyzed urethanes or alkyd enamels (like KCMA certified products). With proper care, your cabinet finish will last 10-15 years, resisting chipping and grease.

Can I change the hardware holes?

Yes. If you want to switch from knobs to pulls (or change sizes), we can fill the old holes with wood bondo, sand them flush, and drill new holes for your updated hardware before painting.

Hardware & Islands

Updating your knobs and pulls is the jewelry of the kitchen. We can also paint your kitchen island a contrasting color (like Navy or Charcoal) for a custom designer look.
