Nextdoor Neighborhood FavoriteRefinishing, the way we do it, means paint. Your doors, drawer fronts and boxes stay; they’re cleaned, sanded, primed and sprayed a new color. Re-staining bare wood, refacing with new doors and replacing cabinets are different jobs, and we’ll say so if your kitchen needs one of them.
A kitchen is where a Brentwood family's day starts and ends, and freshly painted cabinets change how the whole room feels: smoother, brighter and more in keeping with the rest of the house. In kitchen cabinet painting, we care most about the details you notice up close, from an even sheen and crisp edges to doors that match their neighbors. In a house this size the kitchen is rarely the only cabinetry, and our cabinet painting reaches every room below, with the same care we bring to every room of a Brentwood home.
Kitchen cabinet refinishing keeps what you already own. Refacing adds new doors and veneer, and replacement tears everything out, but painting keeps the doors, drawers and frames in place and changes only the finish. For solid cabinetry that's usually the better value, and if yours would be better served another way, we'll tell you. Our guide to the four ways to update kitchen cabinets walks through what each one keeps and what it costs.
When every room's cabinetry wears the same smooth, considered finish, a Brentwood home reads as one well-kept house, from the kitchen to the powder room.
Kitchen cabinet painting is where most Brentwood projects begin, and it's the change you notice every time you walk into the room. We refinish the doors, drawer fronts and face frames of the cabinets you already have, so the layout, countertops and backsplash all stay put. The kitchen shown here is from a Brentwood home we painted.
An island is often the one piece of cabinetry everyone gathers around, which makes it a natural place for a second color or a glazed, two-tone finish. Butler's pantries and wet bars between the kitchen and dining room deserve the same care. Here, kitchen cabinet refinishing is as much about deciding what should stand out as about the finish itself.
Primary-bath vanities and powder rooms take a painted finish well, and cabinet refinishing is often the simplest way to bring a bathroom in line with the rest of the house. Bathrooms are harder on a finish than a pantry is, with steam and splashes every day, so the enamel is chosen with that in mind and given time to cure.
Laundry rooms and mudrooms work hard, with backpacks, boots and baskets coming and going, and their cabinets and lockers show it. Professional cabinet painting can give these rooms the same smooth finish, and doing them in the same visit as the kitchen keeps the color and sheen consistent through the back of the house.
Walk-in pantries, library shelving and the built-in bookcases beside a fireplace are cabinetry too, often with more shelves and edges than a kitchen. Good cabinet refinishers take the time to reach inside every opening and along each shelf edge, so the finish looks as considered from across the room as it does up close.
Many Brentwood kitchens and family rooms have a built-in desk or an entertainment wall, and they're easy to overlook when the rest of the room is refreshed. Professional cabinet painters treat them as part of the same project. The desk shown here, with its glass-front cabinets above, is from a Brentwood home we painted along with the kitchen beside it.
“We live in Brentwood, TN, and hired Alan and his crew to paint our kitchen—including the walls, cabinets, trim, and ceiling…”
Brentwood homeowners want a kitchen that looks as refined as the rest of the house, and the features they love most are the ones that take the most care to finish well.
A Brentwood kitchen is often generous, with cabinetry running the length of a wall and an island in the middle. Across that much cabinetry an uneven sheen, or one door that doesn't quite match its neighbor, shows at a glance, so every door and drawer front gets the same preparation and the same finish, and the face frames are painted in place to match. There's more finished cabinetry in our project gallery if you'd like ideas.
The kitchen is rarely the only cabinetry in the house. A Brentwood home might have a vanity in every bathroom, a laundry room lined with cabinets and a built-in desk off the kitchen, and refinishing them in the same visit lets the whole house read as one project rather than a mix of old and new.
In many Brentwood homes the kitchen isn't a room of its own. It opens onto a family room, and from the foyer you can often see through the dining room toward it, so a cabinet color is seen beside the walls, trim and floors of several rooms at once. We look at samples in your own kitchen light and think about how the color reads from the front door as well as from the sink. The dining room shown here sits just off that same Brentwood kitchen, and choosing the two together is part of planning color for a Brentwood interior.
It starts with a look at the cabinets themselves. We see them in person with you, checking the doors, the wood, the existing finish and the hardware, and tell you whether they're good candidates before anything goes into an itemized written estimate.
Floors and counters are covered and the work area is masked off. Every surface is degreased to lift the cooking film a kitchen collects, then scuff-sanded to degloss the old finish.
Doors and drawer fronts come off and are labeled so each goes back where it came from, with hinges and hardware set aside. Oak can have its open grain filled if you'd like a smooth look.
A bonding primer gives the paint something to hold, then a hard-wearing enamel such as Benjamin Moore Advance or Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane goes on in thin coats, brushed or sprayed depending on the doors and the finish you choose.
Enamel is dry within hours but keeps hardening for a couple of weeks, so the doors are rehung and the hardware goes back on with care. Then we walk the finished kitchen with you.

Alan and his team did a wonderful job with our cabinet repainting project. We did both the kitchen and master bath. They also repaired some various wall damage from our pups. They are very respectful in your home. I work from home and they were great to accommodate.
Absolutely amazing! We kept putting off getting this done after trouble with another company years before in painting our deck. Wish we would have used Alan from the start. Our kitchen cabinets look beautiful after years of chipping and hard to clean surfaces. Very professional and thorough in his work.
Alan Robinson did an exceptional job painting my home, and his work on my kitchen cabinets deserves special praise. What started as basic builder-grade cabinetry now looks like elegant, custom-made pieces thanks to the beautiful glaze and meticulous finish he applied. The transformation is stunning.
Alan is professional, punctual, and incredibly detail-oriented. He took the time to understand my vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. His lines are clean, his finishes are smooth, and he treats your home with respect—keeping everything tidy throughout the project.
If you’re looking for someone who combines skill, artistry, and reliability, I highly recommend Alan. My home looks better than ever, and the cabinets alone make the entire space feel elevated.
Alan Robinson did top notch quality work when we had him paint our living room,high open stairway, loft, hall and kitchen. He was punctual, courteous, fair and paid attention to detail. He worked quickly made it easy for us to keep pace with life vs shutting spaces down for days. We had him come back to do our den, dining room and high spaces plus another hallway. He asked if we liked color after it was up and did thorough spot checking to make sure we had a solid and even sheen to each wall in entirety. We have been very pleased with his work and how his efficiency and professionalism showed and changed our space to a much more inviting space than before. We highly recommend Alan Robinson for any of your painting needs!
Every kitchen is priced on its own, and a Brentwood kitchen can hold a lot of cabinetry, so there's no flat rate. These six shape the number most, and your written estimate itemizes each. Painters price cabinets by the piece, and how a painter counts a piece can change a quote more than you might expect.
The biggest single factor, since each piece is prepared and finished on its own.
An island adds surfaces, and painting inside the boxes is optional and adds time.
Heavy varnish, old paint, water damage or grain-filled oak all add preparation.
A glazed or two-color scheme takes more steps than one solid color.
Reusing pulls is simplest; new hardware in a different size can mean filling and redrilling holes.
Cabinets beyond the kitchen add to the scope, and doing them together keeps one schedule.
The package you choose is one of the biggest factors in cost. Signature, our standard service, includes the full preparation cabinets need for a durable finish; Refresh is our budget-friendly option for a quick update; Concierge adds full project management. Every package carries our five-year workmanship warranty. See the cabinet painting packages for Brentwood homes.
Doing cabinets right costs more than a quick spray because the prep is most of the job, and the prep is why the finish lasts. Pay for your project in fixed monthly payments through Acorn Finance.
