Refresh Cabinetry Without Starting Over

Professional kitchen cabinet painting for homes in Lansing, Michigan.

If your cabinets are structurally sound but the finish looks worn or outdated, painting them can completely change how your kitchen feels. In Lansing, where many homes have solid wood cabinets built to last, refinishing makes more sense than replacement. You get a fresh look without the cost or timeline of a full remodel.

ProEdge Home Solution LLC prepares each surface carefully, sanding down old finishes and repairing imperfections before applying primer and paint. The result is a smooth, durable coating that holds up to daily use. This process works well in kitchens throughout Lansing and Okemos, especially when homeowners want to update color or modernize without changing the layout.

If you are considering a cabinet refresh in Lansing, schedule a consultation to review your options and timing.

What Happens During the Refinishing Process

Cabinet painting starts with removing doors, drawer fronts, and hardware so every surface can be prepped and coated evenly. In Lansing homes, this stage often includes filling old hinge holes or smoothing out dents that have built up over years of use. Sanding removes gloss and creates a surface the new finish can bond to.

Once the prep is complete, primer goes on first, followed by multiple coats of paint or topcoat. You will notice the difference immediately when the doors go back up. The finish looks consistent, the color is even, and surfaces feel smooth to the touch.

This service is often paired with other kitchen updates like new hardware, backsplash work, or flooring. It does not include replacing cabinet boxes or changing the kitchen layout, but it does give you a result that can look as clean as a brand new installation when done right.

Questions That Come Up Before You Book

Homeowners usually want to know how long the work takes, what kind of finish to expect, and whether their cabinets are good candidates for painting instead of replacing.

How long does cabinet painting take from start to finish?
Most projects take between three and five days, depending on the number of cabinets and drying time between coats. You will have limited kitchen access during that window, but the timeline is much shorter than a full remodel.
What type of paint is used on kitchen cabinets?
ProEdge Home Solution LLC uses high-adhesion primers and durable topcoats designed for cabinetry. These finishes resist chips, moisture, and daily cleaning better than standard wall paint.
Can you paint cabinets that have been stained or varnished?
Yes, as long as the existing finish is properly sanded and primed. Stained wood cabinets are common in Lansing homes, and with the right prep, they take paint very well.
What condition do cabinets need to be in for painting to work?
The cabinet boxes and doors should be solid with no major structural damage. Surface scratches, fading, and minor dents can be repaired during prep, but warped or water-damaged pieces may need replacement first.
Will the finish hold up to everyday use in a busy kitchen?
When applied correctly with proper curing time, painted cabinets are just as durable as factory finishes. You can wipe them down, handle them daily, and expect the coating to last for years.

Cabinet painting works well when you want a noticeable update without tearing out your kitchen. ProEdge Home Solution LLC handles the prep, application, and reinstallation so the job is done right. If you are ready to move forward in Lansing, reach out to discuss your project and get an estimate.
