Kitchen Cabinet Painting
Cabinet refinishing with a smooth factory style finish.
Sharp's Painting refinishes kitchen cabinets for homeowners in Huntington Beach. What it costs comes down to how many doors and drawer fronts you have, the wood and its grain, the condition of the old finish, and whether the doors are finished off site or in place. Robert Sharp holds California C-33 license 1048840, has 27 years in the trade, and the estimate is free.
Kitchen Cabinet Painting
Kitchen cabinet painting is the refinishing of cabinet boxes, doors, and drawer fronts so a kitchen looks new without a remodel, and Robert Sharp does it for homeowners in Huntington Beach and coastal Orange County. Sharp's Painting is a California C-33 painting contractor, license 1048840, bonded and insured. Cabinets near the coast collect cooking grease and salt air film, and paint will not stick to either, so every door gets degreased, sanded, and primed. Doors and drawers come off and get labeled so edges and back sides get covered, or Robert works on site when that fits your kitchen.
Finish coats are sprayed or brushed for a smooth surface that reads factory made. Skip the degreasing and the finish peels at the handles. With 27 years of experience, Robert runs his own crew, no subcontractors, and is on the job himself. Estimates and up to 10 paint samples are free, and you pay nothing until the work is done and you are satisfied.

Our Process
Free estimate
Call for a free estimate and Robert comes out to look at your cabinets, talk through color and finish, and give you a written price with no pressure.
Degrease and sand
Kitchen cabinets hold years of cooking grease, so every surface gets cleaned and sanded until paint has something solid to grab.
Prime and paint
After priming, doors and drawers get sprayed or brushed, off site or in place, for an even coat that dries hard and smooth.
Rehang and clean up
Doors and drawers go back on, hardware is reset, and the kitchen is left clean so you can use it again.

Two kitchens the same size can be very different jobs. The count is the first thing Robert looks at, meaning how many doors and how many drawer fronts, since every one of them gets handled, sanded, primed and coated on both sides. Then the wood. Open grain oak needs extra filling and sanding to come out smooth, while a paint grade maple door is closer to ready. After that comes whatever finish is already on there, because a heavy factory clear coat or a paint job that is peeling takes real work to get back to sound.
Spraying, brushing, and whether the doors leave your house
How the finish goes on changes the labor as much as it changes the look. Spraying lays a smoother coat than a brush does, and it also means more masking, more setup and more protection for your counters, floors and appliances. Working in place is quicker to start and slower to protect. Doors and drawer fronts can be finished off site or in your own kitchen, and each of those puts the time in a different place. Robert tells you at the estimate which way he would do your kitchen and why, and the price follows that choice rather than a standard package.
Why a real number needs a real look
A price over the phone is a guess, and a guess on cabinets is usually wrong in one direction or the other. Robert comes out, counts the doors and drawer fronts, opens them, checks the boxes and the hinges, looks at what is on the wood now, and then hands you a written price. The estimate is free, the color consultation is free, and there is no deposit and no payment of any kind until the work is finished and you are happy with it. That is a standing policy on every job, not a promotion.
What the quote covers
Most of what you are paying for is prep. Every surface gets degreased, because cooking grease and the film salt air leaves behind will stop paint from sticking no matter how good the paint is. Then sanding, filling where it is needed, and primer before any color goes on. Doors and drawer fronts get their coats, boxes and face frames get theirs, then everything is rehung with the hardware reset so the doors sit even. The kitchen is cleaned up so you can use it again. Robert runs his own crew, no subcontractors, and is on the job himself.
Huntington Beach kitchens and the coastal air
Cabinets this close to the water carry two things at once. There is the cooking grease every kitchen has, and there is the fine salt film that drifts in through open windows and doors in a town where the marine layer comes in off the water. Both of them sit invisible on the doors, and both will push a new finish off around the handles and above the range if the degreasing gets skipped. It reads the same in the ranch houses inland as it does in the newer builds near the pier.
