Cabinet painting in Poway

Most Poway kitchens land between $3,000 and $9,000, at roughly $75 to $150 per door and drawer. A bathroom vanity is usually $600 to $1,500. What moves the number in Poway is the cabinet itself: plenty of the city's kitchens are open-grain oak, and filling that grain for a smooth modern finish is extra work we price separately so you can decide. The same ranges apply to our cabinet painting across San Diego County.

• Per door or drawer: $75 to $150
• Full kitchen: $3,000 to $9,000 typical
• Bathroom vanity: $600 to $1,500 typical
• Oak grain filling: quoted as its own line, optional

They are three different jobs. Refinishing, which is what we do, means cleaning, sanding, priming and spraying a new finish onto the doors and boxes you already have. Refacing means covering the boxes in new veneer and fitting brand-new doors, which is carpentry rather than painting. Re-glazing usually means a tinted glaze over a painted finish for an aged look. If your doors are solid and sit flat, refinishing gives the biggest change for the money.

• Refinishing — new sprayed finish on your existing cabinets (what we do)
• Refacing — new doors plus veneer over the boxes (a carpentry job)
• Re-glazing — a decorative glaze layer over paint

Yes, but it is a choice, not a default. Oak from the eighties and nineties has deep open grain, and paint alone follows that texture, so the grain still shows through the new colour. For a flat, modern look we fill the grain before priming. Some owners like a little texture showing; others want it gone. It is priced as its own line on the quote, so you can decide either way, and the sheen you pick changes how much texture shows (how to choose a cabinet finish).

Yes. Vanities get the same process as kitchen cabinets — degrease, sand, bonding primer, sprayed finish — and typically run $600 to $1,500. Bathrooms see more moisture than kitchens, so the bottom edges of doors and the area around the sink need the most careful prep. Doing a vanity in the same project as the kitchen means one schedule instead of two. For walls, ceilings or a whole-house repaint, see all our painting services in Poway.

It affects how we spray, not whether we can. Poway's August highs average about 84°F, well above the coast, and heat makes a finish dry faster than it levels. That is one reason we spray doors in a controlled area rather than in an open garage in the afternoon. Inside your home the boxes are sprayed with the house closed up, and the finish keeps hardening for a couple of weeks after we leave.

A cabinet-only kitchen usually takes three to five working days. Our recent Poway kitchen took eight because new countertops were fitted in the same project. You keep the room for most of the job. The doors leave, the boxes are masked and sprayed in place, and the kitchen is usable most evenings. We give you a written schedule before day one.
