Benefits of Repainting Your Kitchen Cabinets
When your cabinets start to look old or outdated, they can bring down the value of your home. They can also make your kitchen feel unwelcoming or dirty. Kitchen cabinet repainting comes with many benefits, including:
- Avoiding the dust and noise that comes with cabinet installation
- No demolition
- Saving money
- Quicker results than replacement
- No need to relevel or redo your plumbing
- Keeping your kitchen in service
If you have old but still usable cabinets, you may want to save them. Often, older cabinets are of better quality than more recent ones. You can bring your current cabinets back to life with kitchen cabinet finishing.
Are you improving your home before you put it on the market? If so, you need to choose your home improvements wisely, so you don’t lose money.
Replace Your Cabinets or Refinish Them?
While replacing your cabinets is the more expensive choice, it may be necessary. When you wonder whether to replace or refinish, consider:
- Functionality. If the location of your cabinets doesn’t work for you, it may be time to replace them.
- Time. Installing a new kitchen can take months, while repainting may only take a week. Think about how long you are willing and able to live without your kitchen.
- Repair. If you have damaged cabinets, you can typically opt for repair. However, extensive damage may make replacement the cheaper option.
The kitchen cabinet painting cost is worth it if you like the current layout of your kitchen or bathroom. You can always reface your cabinetry and add other functional accessories. If you need advice on the best option for your space, call Idea Painting Company today.

Steps to Refinishing Cabinets
The steps to cabinet refinishing can vary, and so can the amount of time it takes to complete the job. When you look for “kitchen cabinet painting near me” expect us to:
- Clean all surfaces thoroughly
- Spread cloths on countertops and floors
- Find the correct solution to strip your cabinets
- Use a wood filler to repair holes and then sand the area
- Paint the wood your desired color and apply the stain and varnish
Sometimes you will want to disassemble your cabinets before you begin. When you do, label the parts to make sure you put them back in the right place. If you can, do your painting outside or somewhere with proper ventilation.
Stripping the cabinets may take trial and error if you do not know the current finish. Some common finishes include:
- Shellac
- Lacquer
- Polyurethane
- Water-based
- Latex- or oil-based paint
Our team completes the steps of kitchen cabinet painting efficiently and expertly. Call us today for a free estimate and ask us how we can upgrade your kitchen.
How to Refinish Cabinets with Paint
Once you choose a paint color, we come in and do your kitchen or bathroom cabinet refinishing onsite. We use high-quality materials, so our results are:
- Durable
- Long-lasting
- Washable
The kitchen is a busy area in the house. Therefore, cabinets need paint that wears well. Drips from your sink, steam from a dishwasher, and heat from the stovetop can all affect your paint’s finish.
Depending on the surface and your preference, we apply the paint using a spraying method or a traditional brush. Spraying provides a smooth, sleek appearance. If you aren’t sure which method you want, our skilled painters will show you samples of both.
You should always do refinishing work in dry conditions. If you do not have an air-conditioned area, consider scheduling your kitchen cabinet finishing in the winter. Call us for cabinet painting at any time of year.
Talk to an Expert
We understand that sometimes you just want to talk before scheduling a consultation. Our team will gladly answer any of your questions or help you with any of your concerns.

Melrose is a city located in the Greater Boston metropolitan area in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. Its population, per the 2020 United States Census, is 29,817. It is a suburb located approximately seven miles north of Boston. It is situated in the center of the triangle created by Interstates 93, 95 and U.S. Route 1.
The land that comprises Melrose was first settled in 1628 and was once part of Charlestown and then Malden. It became the Town of Melrose in 1850 and then the City of Melrose in 1900.
History
Melrose was originally called “Ponde Fielde” for its abundance of ponds and streams or “Mystic Side” because of its location in a valley north of the Mystic River. The area was first explored by Richard and Ralph Sprague in 1628 and became part of Charlestown in 1633 along with a large area of land encompassing most of the surrounding communities.
In 1649, the neighborhood of Charlestown known as Malden was incorporated as a separate town; the new town of Malden included most of present-day Melrose (then called North Malden) within its borders. North Malden largely remained a lightly populated farming community. By 1845, the Boston and Maine Railroad had built three stops (now the commuter rail stations of Wyoming Hill, Melrose/Cedar Park, and Melrose Highlands). Boston workers in search of a country atmosphere moved to the area and began commuting to work. The population of North Malden began growing, and in 1850 North Malden split from Malden proper and was incorporated as the town of Melrose. The town then annexed the highlands from neighboring Stoneham in 1853, creating the city’s current borders. The name “Melrose” comes from the burgh of Melrose, Scotland. It was a reference to the Eildon hills of Melrose, Scotland, which the new town resembled. The name was suggested and advocated for by William Bogle, a Scotland native and longtime resident of North Malden.
The population of Melrose continued to grow throughout the second half of the nineteenth century. Farmland was increasingly partitioned into smaller parcels for residences and businesses. The fire department and the town’s school district were founded, and the town hall was built in 1873. In 1899, the City of Melrose became the 33rd incorporated city in Massachusetts. Levi S. Gould became the city’s first mayor on January 1, 1900. Melrose reached a peak in a population of 33,180 residents in 1970, before beginning a slow decline continuing through 2010. On April 1, 1982, Downtown Melrose was added to the National Register of Historic Places; the public library was similarly added to the register in 1988.
Geography
Melrose is located at 42°27′33″N 71°3′44″W / 42.45917°N 71.06222°W (42.459045, −71.062339).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 4.8 square miles (12 km), of which 4.7 square miles (12 km2) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km), or 1.26%, is water. The city’s largest body of water is Ell Pond, situated near the center of the city, while other major bodies are Swains Pond and Towners Pond, located on the east side near Mount Hood Golf Club.
Melrose is approximately 7 miles (11 km) north of Boston, Massachusetts. It borders four cities and towns: Malden, Saugus, Stoneham, and Wakefield. Major geographic features include Ell Pond, Swains Pond, Sewall Woods, Mount Hood, Boston Rock, Pine Banks Park, and the eastern reaches of the Middlesex Fells Reservation.
The writer Elizabeth George Speare, who was born in Melrose, wrote of her hometown: “Melrose was an ideal place in which to have grown up, close to fields and woods where we hiked and picnicked, and near to Boston where we frequently had family treats of theaters and concerts.”
