Cabinet Repainting & Refinishing: What Elk Grove Homeowners Should Know

Written By Rome Davis

Cabinets take more abuse than almost anything else in your kitchen or bathroom. Grease, moisture, fingerprints, and daily use all add up. At 1-Up Handyman, we help Elk Grove homeowners refresh worn, outdated cabinets without the high cost of full replacement. Here’s what you should know about cabinet repainting and refinishing.

🎨 What Is Cabinet Repainting & Refinishing?
Cabinet repainting and refinishing restores the look of your existing cabinets by updating the surface instead of replacing the entire unit. This service is ideal for:

  • Kitchen cabinets

  • Bathroom vanities

  • Laundry room cabinets

  • Built-ins and storage cabinets

It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to transform a space.

✅ Signs Your Cabinets Are Good Candidates

  • Faded or Yellowed Finish: Sunlight and age can dull paint or stain.

  • Chipped or Peeling Paint: Common around handles and edges.

  • Outdated Color or Style: Cabinets look structurally fine but visually dated.

  • Water or Grease Stains: Especially near sinks and stoves.

If the cabinet boxes are solid, refinishing is usually the smart move.

🔧 Why Professional Refinishing Matters

  • Proper Prep: Cleaning, sanding, and priming are critical for long-lasting results.

  • Smooth, Durable Finish: Professional paints and sealers resist chipping and moisture.

  • Even Coverage: No brush marks, drips, or uneven color.

  • Less Disruption: Faster and cleaner than a full cabinet replacement.

❌ Risks of DIY Cabinet Painting

  • Peeling or bubbling paint from poor prep

  • Sticky cabinet doors that never fully cure

  • Uneven color or visible roller marks

  • Wasted time and money fixing mistakes
