Cabinet and Trim Refinishing
At Rainfall Painting and Refinishing, we specialize in transforming the look and feel of your home with our expert cabinet and trim refinishing services. Whether your cabinets and trim have worn out over time or you’re simply ready for an update, our team provides the craftsmanship and attention to detail necessary to rejuvenate these important elements of your space.
Our refinishing service breathes new life into your existing cabinets and trim, saving you the cost of full replacements while achieving a fresh, modern look. We carefully prepare each surface, removing any imperfections, and apply high-quality finishes to ensure a smooth and durable result.
Cabinet replacement costs $10,000–$30,000 or more. A professional cabinet repaint from Rainfall Painting & Refinishing can transform your kitchen for a fraction of that — with a finish that looks factory-new and holds up to daily use. We serve homeowners throughout Everett, Snohomish County, and surrounding communities in the greater Seattle area.
SURFACE PROTECTION
We set up a dedicated spray tent around the cabinet areas to contain overspray and keep your home clean. Nearby furniture, flooring, and all non-painted surfaces are fully covered with drop cloths and plastic sheeting before we begin.
SURFACE PREPARATION
All cabinet surfaces are thoroughly cleaned to remove grease, dirt, and built-up residue — proper adhesion starts here. Cabinets are lightly sanded to remove any existing finish and smooth out imperfections. Any chips, cracks, or surface flaws are filled with wood filler or putty and sanded smooth before priming.
PRIMING
A high-quality bonding primer is applied to all cabinet surfaces. This step is non-negotiable — it ensures excellent paint adhesion and prevents stains or tannins from bleeding through the finish. We select the right primer for the surface type, whether wood, laminate, or MDF.
SANDING BETWEEN COATS
After the primer dries, we lightly sand again to remove any raised grain or texture and create a perfectly smooth surface for the topcoat. This extra step is what separates a professional result from a DIY one.
PAINTING
TWO SPRAY COATSWe spray two coats of cabinet-specific, high-durability finish evenly across all surfaces. Spraying — rather than brushing or rolling — eliminates brush marks and delivers the smooth, factory-like appearance that makes refinished cabinets look brand new.
CLEAN-UP
Once the paint has fully cured, the spray tent and all protective coverings are carefully removed. We inspect the surrounding area for any overspray and leave your kitchen clean, restored, and ready to use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is painting cabinets worth it instead of replacing them?
Absolutely. Replacing kitchen cabinets can cost $10,000–$30,000+. A professional cabinet repaint typically costs a fraction of that and, when done correctly, gives you a finish that looks brand new. It’s one of the highest ROI upgrades you can make in a kitchen.
How long does a cabinet painting project take?
Most kitchen cabinet projects take 3–5 days from start to finish. Doors and drawer fronts are removed, painted off-site or in a controlled area, and reinstalled once fully cured.
What kind of paint do you use on cabinets?
We use cabinet-specific finishes — not standard wall paint. Standard latex paint chips and scuffs quickly on cabinets because of the daily wear they take. We use hard, durable coatings formulated for high-contact surfaces that cure to a tough, smooth finish.
Do you spray or brush cabinets?
We spray cabinet doors and drawer fronts to get a smooth, factory-like finish that brushing or rolling can’t achieve. Brush marks and roller texture are the most common complaints homeowners have after DIY cabinet painting — spraying eliminates that.
Do I need to empty my cabinets before you start?
We ask that you clear out the cabinet interiors so we can remove doors easily. Countertops should be cleared as well. We take care of all the masking and protection from there.
What colors are popular for cabinets right now?
Classic whites and off-whites are always popular and timeless. We’re also seeing a lot of deep navy blues, soft greens, and warm grays. Two-tone kitchens — where upper and lower cabinets are different colors — are a strong trend right now as well.
Will painted cabinets chip or peel over time?
With the right products and proper prep, no — not under normal use. The key is thorough cleaning, sanding, priming, and using a finish designed for cabinetry. Cutting corners on any of those steps is what causes chipping.
