Cabinet Painting · Arlington, TX
Arlington cabinets: original ranch kitchens and rental turnovers.
Cabinet work in Arlington divides between the mid-century ranches in the older north-central neighborhoods and a substantial rental market near the university. The brief in each is almost the opposite of the other.

Here is what cabinet painting in Arlington actually involves.
In the fifties and sixties houses the cabinetry is often original — birch or early plywood, slab or lightly detailed doors, and occasionally steel. Steel finishes beautifully but needs a metal-appropriate preparation and primer rather than a wood system, so establishing what the boxes actually are comes before any quote. Early plywood wants its exposed edges checked for separation first. Where the joinery is sound, painting it is dramatically cheaper than replacing it and usually looks better than a same-cost replacement would.
Near the university the work is volume and consistency: a hard, cleanable semi-gloss that survives tenants, one documented color across a portfolio, and a fixed price per kitchen by layout so an owner can plan turnovers. Those are the same products we use in an owner-occupied house — the difference is the scheduling and the paperwork rather than the standard.

Cabinet Painting in Arlington, in detail.
The parts of a cabinet painting job that people ask about separately.
These are the questions we hear most about cabinet painting in Arlington.
Can 1950s steel kitchen cabinets be painted?
They can, and they take a sprayed finish well — but they need a metal-appropriate preparation and primer, not a wood system. It is worth establishing which you have before anyone quotes.
Do you do rental turnovers?
Yes, priced per kitchen by layout and held to one documented color and product across a property, so units stay consistent as they turn over.
What type of paint is best for cabinets?
Semi-gloss and gloss finishes are the best choice. Cabinets see a lot of use and wear, and glossier finishes offer higher durability as well as a surface that is easier to clean.
Is it a good idea to paint kitchen cabinets?
If you want to freshen up your kitchen and change the look of the space, painting your cabinets is an extremely easy and affordable way of doing it. The best way to make sure it adds value is to hire professionals who use top-quality paint and help you select the right color.
How invasive is the process?
The average cabinet job takes between three and four days and the process is fairly invasive. We discuss exactly what to expect up front and how we will minimize the disruption.
