Cabinet Painting · Westlake, TX
Ceiling-height Westlake cabinetry, counted piece by piece.
Westlake kitchens are big, tall and usually stain-grade — knotty alder, cherry or maple. Painting them is the highest-impact project available here, and the finish has to survive being looked at closely in a very well-lit room.
Here is what cabinet painting in Westlake actually involves.
Cabinetry running to a ten or eleven foot ceiling means stacked uppers, crown returns and a great many pieces. A Vaquero or Terra Bella kitchen is frequently ninety to a hundred and twenty doors and drawer fronts once the butler’s pantry, the bar, the mudroom lockers and the primary bath vanities are counted. We count and label every piece, because that number rather than the floor area is what sets the schedule.
Cherry is the substrate that catches people out. It darkens with UV exposure, so the faces getting afternoon light have aged differently to the insides, and a pale finish over cherry needs proper stain blocking or the tannin comes through pink within months. We test on one of your own doors before committing, because how much sun that kitchen gets changes the answer.

Cabinet Painting in Westlake, 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 Westlake.
How many doors is a typical Westlake kitchen?
Ninety to a hundred and twenty pieces is common once the pantry, bar, mudroom and vanities are counted. That count, not the square footage, sets the schedule.
Can cherry cabinets be painted a pale color?
They can, but only over proper stain blocking — cherry tannin bleeds pink through a pale finish otherwise. We test on one of your own doors first.
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.
