Every cabinet painting project is handled by licensed, insured crews with the same prep-first standard, so the result actually lasts.
Cabinet painting in San Diego usually costs $75 to $150 per door and drawer, which works out to roughly $3,000 to $9,000 for a typical kitchen. The price depends on the number of doors, the condition of the cabinets, and whether you add glazing or special finishes. It's a fraction of the cost of replacement.
For solid, well-built cabinets, painting is the smarter value. It costs 30 to 60 percent less than replacement, takes days instead of weeks, and delivers a fresh, factory-smooth look without the mess of a full remodel. We'll tell you honestly if your cabinets are good candidates during the free estimate.
Very durable when done correctly. We degrease, sand, and prime for adhesion, then spray a hard cabinet-grade enamel that resists chips, grease, and daily use. A sprayed finish has no brush marks and cleans easily, and our cabinet work is backed by a 2 year warranty.

Reviews
Everyone on the team was professional, prompt and responsive. Luis explained the entire process and Mel's follow-through was exceptional. They delivered on the look and feel we wanted, and we would recommend their service to anyone who owns well constructed cabinets but wants to give them a refreshing new life. The original dark cabinets showed all the fingerprints, grease and dust, but the new white finish has stronger enamel protection and is much easier to clean and maintain. And it was way more cost effective than a complete remodel, we are very happy with the results!
I called Lifetime Painting (referred by One Day Door and Closets) and met with Luis within a few days I was happy and excepted their bid. Gabriel and Carlos were wonderful to work with. They were professional, friendly and prompt everyday. I had my popcorn ceiling remove, textured and painted. I could not ask for a better job. They also painted a large living room, hallway and all my doors. Gabriel was very thorough and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done to my satisfaction. Albert replaced all my door handles for me and I appreciated Pablo came to finish all the final little touch ups. I am very happy with their work and would highly recommend them. I hope to use them again.
We are so happy with the work Lifetime Custom Painting did on our home! They painted our interior and part of the exterior, installed new baseboards, replaced the upstairs flooring, installed new vanities/toilets and completely redid our banister. Everything turned out beautiful and the attention to detail was excellent. Pablo, the project manager, was especially great to work with — professional, responsive, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend!
Straight answers about cabinet painting in San Diego, from a team that's painted local homes since 2007.
Most kitchens take three to five days. We remove doors and drawers, prep and spray them in a controlled environment, paint the boxes in place, and reinstall everything. You can use your kitchen during most of the process.
Not when it's prepped right. We degrease, sand, and use a bonding primer before spraying a durable cabinet enamel, which is why our cabinet work carries a 2 year warranty. Skipping prep is what causes peeling, and we never skip it.
Yes. We can match almost any color and offer smooth solid finishes. Bring us an inspiration photo and we'll help you choose a color and sheen that fit your kitchen and lighting.
