Cabinet Refinishing and Painting

If a full kitchen remodel isn’t in the budget—or on your timeline—cabinet painting is the smartest way to transform your space. Build & Paint Portland delivers factory-smooth finishes with professional prep, durable and scratch-resistant coatings, and careful staging to keep your home organized while we work. We’re locally owned and quality-driven; all of our team members are employees – not subcontractors, trained to protect your home and achieve consistent results.

Why Refinish Instead of Replace?

Cost-effective: A fraction of replacement while delivering a “new kitchen” look.
Faster timelines: Most cabinetry projects finish within one week.
Sustainable: Keep existing cabinetry out of the landfill.
Custom style: Change color, sheen, and hardware for a modern, personalized finish.

From cabinets to ceiling paint, our specialty extends to full room transformations. Trust us for professional interior painting in Portland that complements your newly refinished cabinetry or remodel.

Our Cabinet Process

Cabinet finishes succeed or fail in the prep. We label and remove doors/drawers, clean and de-gloss surfaces to remove oils, and fill dings and grain (as requested). We apply sandable primers (plus bonding primers engineered for slick substrates), then spray high-performance coatings for a smooth, hard finish. We reassemble carefully, adjust hinges, and install new hardware if you choose to upgrade.

Finishes That Last

Kitchens, baths, and mudrooms see constant traffic. We recommend enamel paints and waterborne, low VOC, catalyzed finishes that cure hard, resist yellowing, and clean easily. For open-grain woods like oak, we can minimize grain telegraphing with specialized fillers and build coats—or celebrate the grain with a stain and clear topcoat. We’ll walk you through color and sheen choices that balance style and durability.

Where We Work

We create an on-site workspace with ventilation, masking, and dust control, and—when the scope calls for it—we finish doors and drawer fronts at our off-site spray shop to reduce disruption. Countertops, floors, and appliances are protected; daily cleanups and progress updates keep your home functional during the project.

Color Consultation for Pacific Northwest Light

Portland’s light favors warm whites, soft grays, and earth tones that complement wood floors and natural stone. We’ll test samples against your counters and backsplash, considering under-cabinet lighting and daylight exposure. Two-tone kitchens—light uppers with deeper lower cabinets—remain a favorite for depth and contrast.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will my cabinets be out of service?

Typically 3–7 days depending on scope, dry times, and hardware upgrades.

Will painted cabinets chip?

Our prep, primers, and high-end catalyzed coatings are designed to resist chipping and scratching while cleaning up easily.

Is cabinet painting worth it compared to replacing cabinets?

Cabinet painting is often worth it because it costs significantly less than full cabinet replacement while still delivering a major visual upgrade. For homeowners with solid cabinet boxes, painting can provide a fresh, modern look at a fraction of the cost.

My thanks to Portland Build & Paint for their superb execution of a four-color Benjamin Moore paint scheme on my house and detached garage. The smoothly applied soft-luster Greyhound body color was balanced by meticulously tight edges and seams for all the trim and accents. Thanks as well to Curtis, the lead painter and maestro who kept a team of five in sync for a week. Owner Steve had a weather eye about the optimal level of carpentry and prep work needed and submitted a bid that was fair for the Portland market. Needless to say, highly recommended!

From the initial bid and ongoing communication regarding the job, to the final spraying day on our painting project, these folks were top notch! We had some real trouble spots with our old home but after this paint and restoration job, we're feeling more secure that it'll hold up to Portland's rainy winters!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Build & Paint to complete an exterior paint job and some old siding restoration on our house and they did a great job! The crew was very professional and thorough. Would happily work with them again and would recommend to others.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We called 3 local companies, Dina was the first point of contact she's professional, straight to it and great over the phone. All prices were within $200. We wanted to get it done before a 2 week time frame for various reasons. We already had paint - Steve who did walk through - turned out to be the owner, coached me on the type of paint we had vs. what was needed for a small portion - we had to purchase a little more which didn't effect the cost much. The quote was given later that day. Decision reached and appointment scheduled very quickly.
The quality of work is top notch - from first meeting, set up, tare down, Curtis & Uriel were pleasant, kind, professional and good communicators. I stopped looking for a mistake in the paint job - photo attached.
The only other thing to say is that we invited Steve back over to review 3 more jobs that we have pending on the house.
Give them a call if you want quality work done on your home.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a top-notch company! I bought a 3000 SF new home and hired Steve and crew to paint every single interior color in the house. He came VERY highly recommended by the Miller Paint store manager, for good reason. His carpenter replaced my pantry door with a beautiful barn door, and he sent a crew of 6 to paint. They finished in 3 days and let me tell you, it is BEAuTIFUL! Every single crew member was so pleasant, polite and professional. Curtis, the lead, was excellent. It was perfect. Next I will have the exterior painted and I know just who to call!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience working with Portland Build & Paint. As a new homeowner, this was my first time taking on a project like this, and they made the entire process easy from the start.

They came highly recommended by my interior designers (Wise Design), and I was impressed right away by how quickly they responded to my inquiry and scheduled a bid. The communication from day one was excellent!

They painted the entire interior of my home, and I absolutely love the results. It completely transformed my house. Working with the owner, Steve, was a highlight. He was kind, knowledgeable, and took the time to walk me through the process and answer my questions. The team working in my home was just as great. Painting can be very invasive, but they were professional, trustworthy, on time every day, and incredibly respectful of my space.

Their attention to detail really stood out. They checked in regularly, cared about my feedback, and made any adjustments immediately. I always felt valued and comfortable throughout the project.

Overall, this was a really positive experience. I would absolutely recommend Portland Build & Paint and will be using them again for future projects in my home!
