Cabinet painting that lets the kitchen feel new — without replacing the cabinets
Cabinets set the tone of a kitchen or bath. This work is for homeowners and property investors who want a fresh, even finish on the cabinets they already have, and who want the prep done carefully so the color looks like it belongs there.
Who it's for
It is for anyone whose cabinets still work, but no longer look the way they want the room to feel — tired doors, a color that dates the kitchen, or a finish that no longer matches the rest of the house.
What usually gets in the way
Cabinet work sits in the busiest room in the house. It is easy to worry about a kitchen you cannot use, dust on the counters, drips, or a finish that chips because the surface was not prepared.
Those worries are why we do not rush this kind of job. A cabinet finish is seen up close, every day, in the light over the sink and at the edge of every door.
How Leo's handles it
We start with a consultation and a complimentary in-person estimate so we can see the cabinets, the hardware, and how you use the room. Then we will give you a verbal price. If you need a written proposal, that is when the proposal fee applies, before any work begins.
Leo approaches this the way he approaches the rest of the house: careful preparation, protection of the surrounding space, and a finish that is even and built to last, using premium paints and materials from trusted suppliers. When we are done, we clean up thoroughly. MHIC #153638 · DCRA #420222000081 · EPA Lead-Safe Certified. Cabinet painting is interior work and is backed by a three-year warranty.

A cabinet refresh in Bowie
In February 2026 we photographed a cabinet refresh in Bowie, Maryland, from the first look at the existing finish through the work in progress. The images below are from that job. The written project story is still being collected.

Questions homeowners ask
Do you paint cabinets in place, and how much of a disruption is it?
Cabinet work happens in the heart of the house — usually the kitchen — so we plan the job around how you use that room. The exact setup is something we walk through at the complimentary in-person estimate. We protect the surrounding areas, keep a clean work environment, and finish with a thorough cleanup.
How do you prep cabinets before painting?
Prep is the important part of a cabinet job. We take the time to prepare the surfaces so the finish is even and built to last, then we use premium paints and materials from trusted suppliers. The specific steps for your kitchen or bath are spelled out after we have seen the cabinets in person — first in a verbal price, and in a written proposal if you need one.
How long does cabinet painting take?
It depends on the number of doors and drawers, the condition of the existing finish, and the scope of the prep. We discuss timing at the estimate and work to the schedule we agree on. We do not publish a single timeline that fits every kitchen.
Is there a fee for the written proposal?
After the complimentary in-person estimate, we will give you a verbal price. If you need a written proposal, a fee of $80 to $250 applies, depending on the scope. That fee is fully credited back if you book the project.
What warranty covers cabinet work?
Cabinet painting is interior work, and interior jobs are backed by a three-year warranty.
Are you licensed, insured, and lead-safe?
Yes. We are licensed (MHIC #153638 and DCRA #420222000081), EPA Lead-Safe Certified, and we carry general liability coverage of up to $2,000,000 plus Workers' Compensation.
