When any homeowner looks into kitchen cabinet painting, they want to know exactly what the process involves. At Allen Brothers Painting, we’ve refined our cabinet painting workflow after completing over 2,000+ kitchens. Here’s the step-by-step breakdown of how we deliver factory-level results without the chaos of a traditional remodel.
Why Kitchen Cabinet Painting Makes Sense
All the homeowners we’ve met, choose cabinet painting over replacement for a good reason. The process takes about one week, costs 60-70% less than new replacement cabinets, and delivers a finish that lasts for decades. Our Milesi 2K polyurethane is the same coating used in aerospace and automotive industries. Now imagine that same protection on your kitchen cabinets.
Step 1: The No-Hassle Bid
We respect your time. Instead of scheduling a high-pressure in-home sales visit, we start with a simple text conversation. You send us photos of your kitchen, and we provide a Set Bid, not just an estimate.
Our pricing is transparent and based on your door and drawer count, so you know exactly what you are paying upfront
Step 2: Pickup & Protection
Once you schedule your job with a deposit, we arrange a time (typically the Tuesday before your start date) to pick up your cabinet doors and drawer fronts to take them to our shop
When work begins in your home, we treat it with care. We use professional-grade plastic to seal off the kitchen, containing dust and protecting your floors, countertops, and appliances
Step 3: Prep Work & Sanding
A flawless finish starts with the right prep. We ask homeowners to handle the heavy degreasing, especially above the stove, prior to our arrival
This prep phase is critical for professional kitchen cabinet painting, it’s what separates a lasting finish from a project that fails in two years. Our team performs a detailed sanding of the cabinet boxes to ensure the new coating bonds permanently to the wood.
Step 4: Premium Application
This is where the magic happens. We don’t use standard wall paint. We apply a professional system featuring Milesi 2K Polyurethane. Most kitchen cabinet painting companies avoid 2K polyurethane because of the cost and skill required, but cheaper paint quickly shows with time.
This Italian-made coating is renowned for its exceptional durability and resistance to scratches and moisture. It allows us to offer our exclusive Worry-Free Guarantee
Step 5: Final Installation & Service Guarantee
After the coating has cured to a factory-hard finish, we return to re-install your doors and drawers. We don’t leave until the job is done right. We perform a final walkthrough with you to ensure every surface meets our high standards, leaving you with a kitchen that looks brand new

Frequently asked questions on Kitchen Cabinet Painting
How long does kitchen cabinet painting take?
The entire process takes about one week from door pickup to final installation. Your kitchen is only closed off for approximately 3 days during the actual painting phase. We pick up your doors and drawer fronts on the scheduled day, spray them in our shop, and return them fully cured and ready for reinstallation.
How much does kitchen cabinet painting cost in Utah?
Pricing is based on your door and drawer count, starting at $4,800 for 24 pieces or less with Benjamin Moore paint. Our premium Milesi 2K polyurethane finish (which includes a worry-free guarantee) is $6,250. We provide set bids, not estimates, your price won’t change if your piece count is accurate.
What’s the difference between Benjamin Moore and 2K polyurethane finish?
Benjamin Moore is a high-quality paint with a 1-year warranty. Milesi 2K polyurethane is an Italian-made professional coating used in automotive and aerospace industries. It’s chemical, moisture, and abrasion resistant with a worry-free guarantee. The 2K finish is more durable and harder than any finish any kitchen cabinet painting shop can offer, but it costs more and requires specialized application skills.
