Cabinet Painting in Orinda, CA
Transform your Orinda kitchen without the cost, mess, or timeline of a full renovation. GoodBoy Painting Co.’s professional cabinet painting gives your cabinets a factory-smooth spray finish for a fraction of the replacement price — serving homeowners throughout Sleepy Hollow, Orinda Country Club, and Glorietta.
Kitchen cabinets are the dominant visual element in any kitchen — they set the tone for the entire room. If your cabinets are dated, discolored, or just the wrong color, cabinet painting is the smartest upgrade available. A full kitchen remodel in Orinda can cost $40,000–$80,000 and take months. Professional cabinet painting achieves a dramatic transformation in about a week. We work with spacious luxury kitchens with large islands, custom pantries, and 40+ cabinet doors — our largest and most rewarding projects.
Our Professional Cabinet Painting Process
- Free Kitchen Consultation — We assess your existing cabinets, discuss color and finish preferences (matte, satin, semi-gloss), evaluate construction, and provide a detailed quote including hardware options.
- Door & Drawer Removal — Every cabinet door, drawer front, and piece of hardware is carefully labeled with a numbering system so everything returns to its exact position.
- Degreasing & Cleaning — Kitchen cabinets accumulate years of cooking grease and oils. We thoroughly degrease every surface with professional-grade TSP cleaner.
- Sanding — All surfaces are sanded to create proper tooth for primer adhesion. Cabinet boxes are sanded in-place; doors and drawers on our work setup.
- Bonding Primer — We apply specialty bonding primer formulated specifically for cabinetry — not regular wall primer. This adheres to existing finishes including lacquer, varnish, and factory coatings.
- HVLP Spray Application (2-3 coats) — Cabinet-grade paint applied via professional sprayers for a perfectly smooth, brush-mark-free factory-quality finish. Each coat is lightly sanded between applications.
- Curing & Reinstallation — After final coats cure, we reinstall every door and drawer, adjust hinges for perfect alignment, and install hardware. We test every door for smooth operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does cabinet painting take?
Most standard kitchen projects take 5–8 business days from start to finish, including drying and curing time between coats. Larger kitchens with islands may take 7–10 days. You’ll have limited kitchen access during the process.
Is painted cabinets as durable as factory finish?
When done with the right primer, cabinet-grade paint, and spray application — absolutely. Our finishes are extremely durable and last 8–12 years with normal use. We provide touch-up paint for any minor chips from daily wear.
How much does cabinet painting cost in Orinda?
Costs depend on the number of doors/drawers, kitchen size, and condition. Most Orinda kitchens range from $3,500–$8,000 — compared to $15,000–$40,000+ for new cabinets. We provide free, detailed estimates.
Can you paint over dark stained or varnished cabinets?
Yes — that’s one of our most popular requests. Our bonding primer adheres to stained, varnished, lacquered, and factory-finished surfaces. Dark-to-white transformations are our specialty.
