Affordable Cabinet Painting and Refinishing Services

Cabinets are one of the most prominent—and most used—features in your home. Over time, wear and tear, outdated colors, or dull finishes can make your kitchen or bathroom feel tired. But replacing cabinets is costly and often unnecessary. At Wayne White Painting, we offer expert cabinet painting services in Elizabeth City NC that restore your existing cabinetry with clean, modern finishes that last.


Our approach combines detailed surface preparation, professional-grade coatings, and precise application to give you the look of a full remodel without the full remodel price. Whether you're updating oak cabinets, refinishing painted wood, or restoring bathroom vanities, we ensure a smooth, long-lasting result.

Why Cabinet Painting is a Smart Investment

Painting your cabinets is one of the most cost-effective ways to dramatically improve your home’s appearance. New cabinet paint can brighten a room, complement updated floors or walls, and add value if you plan to sell. Unlike low-budget DIY jobs, our process ensures a factory-smooth finish and durable results.

Benefits of cabinet painting:


  • Costs significantly less than cabinet replacement
  • Offers a fast turnaround (usually a few days)
  • Provides endless color and sheen options
  • Enhances the entire kitchen or bathroom look
  • Extends the life of your existing cabinetry

Our clients choose cabinet painting when they want a high-impact improvement without the mess, time, and expense of remodeling.

Our Cabinet Painting Process

Every cabinet painting project we take on follows a detailed, multi-step process to ensure superior results.

1

Initial Assessment & Estimate

We inspect your cabinets, review the project goals, and provide a clear, written quote.

2

Removal of Hardware and Doors

We remove knobs, pulls, hinges, and doors to allow for complete coverage and avoid overspray or drip marks.


3

Cleaning and Degreasing

Cabinets are cleaned with professional degreasers to eliminate residue from cooking, oils, and daily use.



4

Sanding and Surface Prep

We sand all surfaces thoroughly to remove gloss and provide a strong bonding surface for primers and paint.


5

Priming

Stain-blocking and adhesion primers are applied based on wood type and condition.


6

Paint Application

We apply multiple coats of cabinet-grade paint using brush, roller, or fine-finish HVLP spray for an ultra-smooth look.


7

Reassembly and Inspection

Doors and hardware are reinstalled, and we walk through the finished space with you to ensure full satisfaction.

Finishes, Sheens, and Color Options

From classic whites to bold, modern hues, cabinet paint colors can be completely customized to match your style. We offer guidance on finishes and sheens best suited to kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and built-ins.


Common cabinet colors and finishes include:

  • Clean white or off-white for a timeless look
  • Soft grays, sage, or blue tones for modern homes
  • Dark espresso or navy for high-contrast elegance
  • Natural wood finishes using stain or glaze techniques
  • Semi-gloss and satin for balance between durability and visual appeal

We use professional products specifically designed for cabinetry, ensuring they resist chips, stains, and wear.
