What is included
Prep, primer and coats: what cabinet refinishing includes
- Doors and drawer fronts removed, labeled and sprayed off-site or in a controlled space
- Degreasing, which is the step that decides whether the finish sticks
- Sanding, filling grain where a smooth finish is wanted, and priming
- Sprayed cabinet-grade finish rather than brushed wall paint
- New hinges and hardware fitted if you are changing them
- Boxes finished in place with the kitchen kept usable
Cabinet Refinishing: prep first, paint second
Cabinet refinishing is the highest-value change in most Middle Tennessee kitchens, because the boxes in houses of a certain age are genuinely well built and simply dated. Refinishing them costs a fraction of replacement and changes the room more than a new countertop does.
Grease is the enemy. Kitchen cabinet doors carry years of cooking residue that is invisible and will reject any coating put over it. Proper degreasing and a bonding primer is the difference between a finish that lasts a decade and one that chips off the door edge within a year.

Painting Kitchen Cabinets Instead of Replacing
Painted cabinets either look factory-finished or look painted. The difference is almost entirely in preparation and product.

Lead Paint in a Pre-1978 Nashville House
Most older paint is harmless while it stays on the wall. The hazard is the dust made when it is scraped, sanded or burned off, and the rules for painters exist because of it.

When Primer Is Actually Necessary
Primer is skipped more often than any other step in a paint job, usually because the can said it was built in. On the surfaces that need it, nothing built in will do.

FAQ
Questions about cabinet refinishing, answered by painters
Is painting kitchen cabinets a good idea, or will it look cheap?
Done properly it looks factory-finished and lasts years; done with a brush and wall paint it looks exactly like painted cabinets. The difference is degreasing, sanding, a bonding primer, and a sprayed cabinet enamel applied in a controlled space. Doors and drawer fronts come off and are sprayed flat; the boxes are sprayed in place with the kitchen masked off.
How long does cabinet refinishing take?
Usually four to six days, most of it curing time between coats. Doors are off for the duration and the kitchen is usable but disrupted. The finish is hard to the touch within a day and fully hardened over a couple of weeks, so it is treated gently at first — no slamming, no heavy cleaning.
