***PRICING EXAMPLES FOR PROFESSIONAL CABINET REFINISHING***
We get asked a lot "how much does it cost to paint my kitchen cabinets?"
Unfortunately there is a lot of wrong information on the internet. We are moderators in several cabinet painting and house painting groups and we get asked this question a lot and we see a lot of crazy answers. At the end of last year we surveyed the cabinet painters in one of these groups to see where prices are currently at and we learned a lot of great information. Read on below and hopefully this helps you decide on who to use for your project.
Key takeaways:
1. As Cabinet Refinishing businesses continue to grow and professionalize they are adjusting their pricing to remain profitable and continue to grow. The cost of materials and labor have increased since 2020 which are being reflected in the price increases.
2. The majority of the refinishers listed industrial water-based coatings from Renner, Milesi, Centurion, and Envirolak as the top contenders. As the industrial water-based coatings industry continues to grow and improve we are seeing new products from other manufacturers coming out that refinishers are now using. If you are not sure about the product your refinisher is using feel free to ask.
3. We asked them where they are located so these prices are from all over the US and a few being from Canada. Honestly the region had nothing to do with their pricing because we had people from California and Kentucky with similar pricing.
These prices are not set in stone and will probably continue to go up over time and this is just to give you an example of what to expect around the country for professional cabinet refinishing. Many factors come into play when a business determines their pricing such as labor, overhead, and profitability.
Hopefully this will help homeowners choose the right refinisher for the job. We see a lot of homeowners say they were quoted $2,000 to refinish their cabinets when it should be around $6,000 and that throws a large red flag for us because it usually means something is being cut like prep, quality of finish, or even their liability insurance.
As a final note when interviewing a cabinet refinisher make sure they go over their process and that it is in writing in their contract. Ask for sample doors. Read reviews. Do your homework before you hire.
