How We Refinish Cabinets

How Cabinet Painting Works

Here's how a cabinet project typically runs:

1

Estimate & Color Selection

We assess the cabinets, discuss finish and color, and provide a free written estimate.

2

Remove Doors & Hardware

Doors, drawer fronts, and hardware are removed and labeled so everything goes back exactly where it started.

3

Degrease & Sand

Years of kitchen grease and grime are cleaned off, and surfaces are sanded to give the new finish something to grip.

4

Prime

A bonding primer is applied to prevent chipping and peeling down the road, especially on high-touch areas like door edges.

5

Paint in Coats

Multiple thin coats are applied to boxes, doors, and drawers for a smooth, factory-style finish.

6

Reinstall & Adjust

Doors and hardware go back on, and we adjust hinges so everything closes cleanly.

Finishes & Prep Approach

Cabinets get touched constantly, so we lean on a durable, low-sheen finish (satin or semi-gloss) designed to resist fingerprints, grease, and everyday wear better than a standard wall paint.

Degreasing before sanding is a step that's easy to skip but shouldn't be — kitchen cabinets in particular build up an invisible grease film that keeps paint from bonding if it isn't removed first.

We remove doors and drawer fronts to paint them flat rather than in place, which gives a smoother, more even coat than painting cabinets while they're still hanging.

What Affects Cost & Timeline

Every project is different, so we quote after a walkthrough rather than guessing over the phone. Here's what generally moves the price and schedule:

Number of doors, drawers, and cabinet boxes

Current finish (stained wood generally needs more prep than existing paint)

Whether it's a single color or a two-tone scheme

Hardware changes or upgrades

Kitchen size and layout complexity

Alberto and crew are very detail oriented, professional, and went beyond my expectations! Have recommended AMV group to my close colleagues and I hear nothing but great feedback!

My husband and I have been looking for someone to replace our sidelights at the front door for over a year now. Had several estimates last year but for some reason the ones that came and gave us bids were not the right ones, not until we spoke to the owner Alberto at this company. They were doing work next door so my husband spoke to the homeowner about their work and they were thrilled with them. They came and looked at what we wanted done and gave us a bid and it was a price that we could live with so they got the job. They were fantastic and then we got them to paint the dining room too when they finished the front door work. Nelson was the painter and I can not say enough about him as well. Very good work, excellent. They arrived on time, they were very neat and cleaned up the area quite well, I guess most of all they were very professional and kind, great to have them working on my house. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

AMV Construction Group handled several renovations throughout our home, and we couldn't be happier with the results. They were able to take our ideas and turn them into a space that feels completely updated and much more functional. Communication was great, the workmanship was solid, and the finished project came out exactly how we hoped.

We hired AMV Construction Group for an addition to our home and had an excellent experience from start to finish. They were knowledgeable, professional, and responsive whenever we had questions. The new space blends in beautifully with the rest of the house and gives us the extra room we needed. Highly recommend their team.
