Compare 6 Middletown painters that refinish and repaint kitchen and bath cabinets. Learn what the job involves, what to check, and how we score.

What cabinet refinishing involves

Cabinet refinishing means giving existing cabinets a new painted or stained finish without tearing out the boxes. A good job takes doors and drawer fronts off, labels the hardware, degreases and sands every surface, fills damage, primes with a bonding primer, and applies two or more coats of a hard-wearing cabinet enamel. Most of the work happens in the prep, not the final coat.

What to look for

  • Spraying or a fine-finish roller technique, not a quick brush-on coat.
  • Doors taken off site or to a protected workspace, with the kitchen masked off.
  • A named primer and enamel (waterborne alkyd or urethane-modified products hold up better than wall paint).
  • A written scope covering cure time, touch-up policy, and whether hardware and hinges are included.

Strong work quality when engaged, but recent reviews highlight a troubling pattern: once deposits are taken or projects start, communication collapses. Older five-star reviews praise detail, speed, and professionalism. Recent one-star reviews (past year) report abandoned jobs, poor prep, and Marc Jr. ignoring calls for months. The company appears to deliver when actively managing a job but struggles with follow-through and accountability once payment is received.

Common questions about cabinet refinishing & repainting

How much does cabinet refinishing typically cost?
Most kitchens fall roughly between $3,000 and $9,000, depending on the number of doors and drawers, the condition of the surfaces, and whether you want a color change or a stain-to-paint conversion. Pricing is usually per door or per box. It is generally well under the cost of replacement cabinets.
How long does a cabinet paint job last?
A properly prepped and sprayed finish commonly lasts 7 to 15 years in a busy kitchen. Cabinets near the stove, sink, and dishwasher show wear first. Cheap prep or wall paint can chip within a year or two.
What should I expect during the work?
Plan on about 4 to 7 working days. Doors are removed and sprayed, and the frames are finished in place. The kitchen is usable but messy, and the finish needs a few days to a few weeks to fully cure, so go gently on it at first.
How can I judge the quality of a refinisher?
Ask to see finished cabinets in person, and check edges, corners, and door panel recesses for drips, brush marks, and thin spots. Ask what primer and topcoat they use and whether the work is warrantied against peeling.
