Want a kitchen refresh without a full renovation? Repair ASAP LLC paints kitchen and bathroom cabinets across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. Transform dated wood or laminate cabinets into a modern, clean look at a fraction of replacement cost.

Kitchen tiers cover the doors, drawer fronts, face frames and exposed box sides; cabinet interiors and shelves are quoted separately. Every job includes door removal, cleaning, sanding, bonding primer, 2 coats of durable cabinet-grade paint, and hardware reinstallation. Choose spray for a smoother sprayed finish or brush for a hand-crafted look.

We handle interior painting, wall repair, wallpaper, cabinet painting, and decorative finishes across Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten Island. For a faster quote, text photos of each wall or surface, dimensions, finish inspiration, paint or material details, and any building access requirements.

Cabinet painting is a good fit when the boxes are solid but the finish is dated, scratched, yellowed, or no longer matches the room. It can refresh kitchens, bathrooms, and built-ins without full replacement.

We check door material, existing finish, grease buildup, hardware holes, hinge condition, panel damage, and whether doors should be removed and painted separately for a cleaner result.

Send wide photos plus closeups of the cabinet doors and drawer fronts. The number of doors, finish type, and prep condition drive the quote more than the room size.

Cabinet painting is not a cover-up for failing veneer, swollen MDF, loose hinges, or active water damage. If repair or replacement is the better route, we flag that before paint.

We also discuss cure time, kitchen access, hardware changes, soft-close hinge adjustments, and whether the job should be phased so the space remains partly usable while doors and drawer fronts dry.

Color changes from dark to light, glossy old finishes, and high-touch cabinet edges may need extra prep or primer. We call those items out before the work starts so the finish plan is realistic.

Related project context: the Astoria wood table refinishing shows finish troubleshooting and surface prep, while the Manhattan barbershop renovation shows coordinated interior finish work.

Cabinet Painting FAQ

How much does it cost?

Priced by the count of doors and drawer fronts together; the kitchen tiers cover the doors, drawer fronts, face frames and exposed box sides, and cabinet interiors and shelves are quoted separately. A full kitchen is typically a fraction of the cost of replacing. We quote after counting doors and drawer fronts and assessing condition.

What's the process?

Remove doors and hardware, clean, sand, prime with bonding primer, apply 2 coats of durable cabinet paint, reinstall with new hardware if desired.

What does a kitchen cabinet painting price include?

The kitchen tiers cover the doors, the drawer fronts, the face frames and the exposed box sides, so the kitchen reads as one finish. Cabinet interiors and shelves are not in the tier price; they are quoted separately from your photos when you want them painted too.

Spray or brush?

Both. We spray when possible for a smoother sprayed finish. Brush and roller for on-site situations where spraying isn't practical.

How long does it take?

A full kitchen takes 3–5 days due to multiple coats and drying time. We work in phases so you have partial use of your kitchen throughout.

What should I send for a cabinet painting quote?

Send wide photos of the kitchen or bathroom, a count of doors and drawer fronts, closeups of damage or peeling finish, the current material or finish if you know it, desired color, hardware changes, and any building access requirements.
