Cabinet Painting
Give your kitchen, bathroom, or built-in storage areas a fresh new look without the cost and hassle of full replacement. At Raindrop Painting, we specialize in professional cabinet painting services for Chicago homes and businesses, transforming worn or outdated cabinetry into stunning, updated focal points. Whether you’re looking for a modern color upgrade or a classic refresh, cabinet painting is a cost-effective and high-impact renovation option.
Why Choose Cabinet Painting Over Replacement?
Full cabinet replacement can be time-consuming and expensive, especially when the existing cabinets are still structurally sound. Painting your cabinets offers a host of benefits:
- Cost-Effective: Save thousands compared to replacement while achieving a similar visual impact.
- Faster Turnaround: Most projects are completed in just a few days, minimizing disruption.
- Eco-Friendly: Reduce waste by reusing existing cabinetry instead of sending it to a landfill.
- Customizable Style: Choose from a wide range of colors and finishes to match your desired aesthetic.
Cabinet painting also gives homeowners more flexibility to update their design over time. If your tastes evolve or you want to match new flooring or countertops, painted cabinets can be re-coated with minimal effort compared to replacing cabinetry altogether.
Types of Finishes and Styles
We offer a range of finish options to suit both modern and traditional spaces:
Matte or Satin
Ideal for a subtle, soft appearance in cozy or rustic designs.
Semi-Gloss or High-Gloss
Durable, easy to clean, and great for high-traffic areas like kitchens.
Glazed or Antiqued Finishes
Add depth and character to traditional or farmhouse-style cabinetry.
Two-Tone Cabinets
A popular trend that contrasts upper and lower cabinets for a designer look.
Distressed or Brushed Finishes
Perfect for creating a vintage or weathered appearance.
Custom Color Matching
Want to match your cabinets to a unique shade or brand color? We can customize paint to your exact specifications.

Our Cabinet Painting Process
We follow a detailed, step-by-step process to ensure a flawless result on every cabinet painting project:
1. Consultation and Planning
We begin with an on-site or virtual consultation to evaluate the condition of your cabinets, understand your design goals, and review paint options and finishes. We’ll also provide a written estimate and project timeline.
2. Surface Preparation
Preparation is the most important step in achieving a lasting finish. We clean and de-grease all surfaces, remove hardware, and carefully mask surrounding areas to protect floors, walls, and appliances. Then we sand the cabinet surfaces to create ideal paint adhesion.
3. Repairs and Priming
Small dents, dings, or imperfections are filled and sanded smooth. We apply a high-quality bonding primer that seals the surface and prepares it for the finish coats.
4. Professional Painting
Using cabinet-grade paints and sprayers or precision rollers, we apply two or more coats of paint to doors, drawer fronts, and cabinet frames. The paint we use is low-VOC, fast-drying, and highly durable.
5. Drying, Reassembly, and Final Inspection
After adequate drying and curing time, we reinstall doors, drawers, and hardware. Before we consider the job done, we perform a final walkthrough to ensure everything looks and functions perfectly.
