Kitchen Cabinet Painting & Refinishing Services in Southeast Michigan 

Significant Cost Savings Cabinet refinishing typically costs 60-70% less than replacement while delivering a completely refreshed appearance. For an average Southeast Michigan kitchen, this means saving $15,000-$25,000 while eliminating the stress and disruption of a full renovation. 

Proven Durability Our specialized cabinet finishing system creates a factory-quality finish that resists scratches, moisture, and daily wear. Using premium catalyzed paints and clear coats, we ensure your cabinets maintain their beauty despite kitchen humidity and temperature fluctuations common in Michigan homes. 

Expert Craftsmanship Our cabinet refinishing specialists undergo specific training in surface preparation, spray application techniques, and finishing methods. Unlike general painters, our dedicated cabinet team focuses exclusively on cabinetry projects, completing hundreds annually throughout Southeast Michigan. 

Minimal Disruption Our refined process minimizes kitchen downtime to just 5-7 days for most projects—significantly less than the 4-8 weeks typical for cabinet replacement. Your kitchen remains functional for most of the project, with only brief periods when cabinets are inaccessible. 

How long does cabinet refinishing last in a typical Southeast Michigan home?

When properly executed with premium materials, cabinet refinishing typically lasts 7-10 years before any touch-ups might be needed. Factors affecting longevity include: 

• Quality of original cabinet construction 
• Household usage patterns 
• Maintenance practices 
• Climate control in the home 

Our catalyzed finishing system provides exceptional durability even in Michigan's seasonal humidity fluctuations. Many of our earliest cabinet projects completed over a decade ago still look outstanding today. 

Can all cabinets be refinished, or are some better candidates than others?

Most cabinets can be successfully refinished, but certain types are ideal candidates: 

• Solid wood cabinets (oak, maple, cherry, etc.) 
• Well-constructed MDF or engineered wood cabinets 
• Thermofoil cabinets (with special preparation) 
• Structurally sound cabinets without significant damage 

Cabinets that may not be good candidates include: 

• Severely water-damaged cabinets 
• Cabinets with significant structural issues 
• Very low-quality particleboard cabinets with deteriorating surfaces 

During your consultation, we'll assess your cabinets and provide honest recommendations about refinishing suitability. 

How long does the cabinet refinishing process take?

For an average Southeast Michigan kitchen (25-30 cabinet doors/drawers), our typical timeline is: 

• Initial consultation and color selection: 1-2 hours 
• Project preparation: 1 day 
• Cabinet box refinishing: 2-3 days 
• Door and drawer refinishing: 3-5 days (overlapping with box refinishing) 
• Hardware installation and adjustments: 1 day 

Most projects are completed within 5-7 business days from start to finish, with minimal kitchen downtime. Larger kitchens or special finishes may require additional time. 

What's the process for selecting a cabinet color?

Our comprehensive color selection process includes: 

1. In-home consultation with sample door displays 
2. Digital renderings of your kitchen in different color options 
3. Sample boards to view in your actual kitchen lighting 
4. Consideration of existing elements (flooring, countertops, etc.) 
5. Trend and resale value discussions if relevant 

We take time to ensure you're completely confident in your color selection before proceeding with your project. 

How do you ensure durability in high-use kitchens?

Our premium cabinet finishing system includes: 

• Adhesion-promoting primer specifically formulated for cabinets 
• High-performance cabinet-grade paint with enhanced hardness 
• Catalyzed clear coat that creates a moisture and scratch-resistant barrier 
• Proper curing time before reinstallation and use 

This comprehensive approach ensures your refinished cabinets withstand the rigors of daily use while maintaining their beauty for years. 

★★★★★ "New Day completely transformed our Royal Oak kitchen for a fraction of what we were quoted for new cabinets. Their team was professional, their process was organized, and the finished product is absolutely stunning.

★★★★★ "After interviewing three companies for our cabinet refinishing project, we chose New Day because of their specialized cabinet experience. Their attention to detail during preparation was impressive—they removed every door and drawer to refinish in their workshop, which resulted in a flawless finish that looks like new cabinetry. Well worth the investment." — Michael & Susan T., Birmingham 

★★★★★ "We were hesitant about painting our cherry cabinets, but New Day helped us make the leap to white, and we couldn't be happier! The transformation is remarkable—our dark, dated kitchen is now bright and modern. Their team was professional, clean, and finished exactly when promised.
