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When your cabinets start to look old or outdated, they can bring down the value of your home.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.

Swampscott is a town in Essex County, Massachusetts, United States, located 15 miles (24 km) up the coast from Boston in an area known as the North Shore. The population was 15,111 as of the 2020 United States Census. A former summer resort on Massachusetts Bay, Swampscott is today a fairly affluent residential community and includes the village of Beach Bluff, as well as part of the neighborhood of Clifton.
History
The area in and around Swampscott, Massachusetts has been inhabited by indigenous people for 12,000 years. Prior to European colonization, the town was inhabited by members of the Naumkeag, Pennacook, and Pawtucket groups and Massachusett tribe. They spoke an Eastern Algonquin language, and the Pawtucket migrated seasonally throughout the eastern coasts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It’s estimated that 50-100 indigenous individuals resided in the Swampscott area at the time of European colonization. A series of epidemics following European settlement, including smallpox, killed many of the indigenous people living in the area, and it’s estimated that fewer than 50 individuals remained by the late 17th century.
Wood’s New England Prospect lists “Swampscott” as a noted habitation in 1633 before extensive European settlement. According to an early twentieth century source, the name “Swampscott” is variously said to mean “at the red rock”, “broken waters”, or “pleasant water place”.
Indigenous people in the Swampscott area subsisted on seasonally determined activities, including hunting, fishing, collecting wild plants and shellfish, and horticulture. They hunted deer, marine mammals, upland game birds, and ducks, and cultivated crops like corn, beans, pumpkin, squash, and tobacco.
Swampscott was first colonized by Europeans in 1629 when Francis Ingalls settled there and built the first Massachusetts Bay Colony tannery. Ingalls observed that the town’s indigenous population lived in wigwams extending from Black Will’s Cliff along the entire north shore. The town was first settled as the eastern part (Ward One) of Lynn, and was set off and officially incorporated in 1852.
In 1857, a piece of the far western end of Salem, then known as the “Salem Finger”, became part of Swampscott. A beach town north of Boston, measuring 3 square miles (7.8 km2) and abutting Salem, Marblehead and Lynn, Swampscott was an important destination for the wealthy at the beginning of the 20th century. While Revere Beach, which lies just several miles down the road, has the honor of technically being America’s first public beach, Swampscott was the de facto first resort town. Lynn was the divider between the poor beach and the rich resort town.
Education
Swampscott’s public school system includes three elementary schools: Hadley School, Clarke School, and Stanley School (demolished as of 2022) ; one middle school, Swampscott Middle School; and one high school, Swampscott High School. The Machon elementary school was shut down in 2007, and is now a mixed-income senior community. A new building was completed in 2007 for Swampscott High School. In 2011, Swampscott considered installing a wind turbine, with the approximate height of a 30-story building, on the property of the Swampscott Middle School but ultimately rejected the project. In a special election on October 19, 2021, voters approved a new $98 million elementary school to be built on the site of the Stanley School. This new school will replace all three former schools and is set to be opened to students in September 2024.
Geography and transportation
Swampscott is located at 42°28′27″N 70°54′21″W / 42.47417°N 70.90583°W (42.474409, −70.905883). According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 6.7 square miles (17.4 km2), of which 3.0 square miles (7.9 km) is land and 3.7 square miles (9.6 km2), or 54.83%, is water. Located beside Massachusetts Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, Swampscott lies along a mostly rocky shoreline, though there is enough clear shore for five beaches; Phillips which stretches into Preston and is by far the largest beach in town, Eisman’s and Whales, Fisherman’s, and a part of King’s Beach, which extends into Lynn. There are several small parks, along with the small Harold King Forest in the northwest corner of town and the Tedesco Country Club which bisects part of the town. The town also has two small ponds, Foster Pond and Palmer Pond.
Swampscott is mostly suburban, with most of the clear land in the northwest corner of town. There are three villages within town, Beach Bluff to the east, Phillips Point to the south, and Phillips Beach inland between the two. The town is centered around Monument Square, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted; which is 4 miles (6 km) south of Salem, 12 miles (19 km) northeast of Boston, and 20 miles (32 km) southwest of Cape Ann. The town is 23 miles (37 km) to the nearest point in New Hampshire, in the town of Salem. Swampscott is bordered by Marblehead to the northeast, Salem to the northwest, and Lynn to the southwest. The water rights of the town extend into Massachusetts Bay, bordered by those of Marblehead and Lynn.
