Your cabinets can define the look of an entire kitchen, bathroom, or built-in space. When the layout still works but the finish feels dated or worn, replacing everything may not be the only option.
GR Painting Company provides cabinet painting and refinishing throughout the greater Grand Rapids area, helping homeowners update existing cabinetry with careful preparation and attention to detail.
Cabinets are touched, opened, closed, and cleaned every day. Creating a quality finish requires thorough cleaning, appropriate sanding, coating selection, and careful application.
Oils, residue, dirt, and existing coatings all need consideration before refinishing begins. We evaluate the condition and characteristics of your cabinetry to determine the preparation needed for a smooth, consistent finish. Simply covering an existing surface with new paint can compromise adhesion, appearance, and durability.
Preparation, product selection, and application work together to create cabinetry that looks refreshed and is suited to everyday use.
Cleaning & Surface Preparation
Kitchen cabinets can accumulate oils and residue that interfere with adhesion. Cleaning appropriate surfaces removes buildup and allows the existing finish and cabinet condition to be evaluated.
Sanding & Finish Preparation
Appropriate sanding helps prepare the existing surface for the selected coating system. The method depends on the cabinet material, current finish, and conditions that could affect the final appearance.
Products & Coating Selection
Cabinets have different demands than ordinary painted walls. We select premium materials according to the surface, intended use, and desired finish, with product recommendations discussed during project planning.
Color & Finished Appearance
A new cabinet color can coordinate with countertops, flooring, walls, and backsplashes. Careful preparation and application support a smooth, consistent appearance, with finish options considered for your cabinetry.

Each cabinet project follows a deliberate process, with preparation and coatings chosen for the existing surfaces and the result you want.

Buildup and contaminants are addressed so the cabinetry is ready for further preparation.

Apply the Selected Coatings

Review the Finished Cabinetry
Completed surfaces are reviewed for appearance and finishing details before the project is considered complete.
Sanding and other surface preparation may be appropriate depending on the cabinet material, existing coating, and condition. We determine the preparation approach based on your cabinetry rather than applying the same method to every project.
We use premium materials selected according to the needs of the project. Specific product recommendations depend on the existing surface, intended use, and desired finish and can be discussed during project planning.
