How We Refinish Cabinets
How Cabinet Painting Works
Here's how a cabinet project typically runs:
Estimate & Color Selection
We assess the cabinets, discuss finish and color, and provide a free written estimate.
Remove Doors & Hardware
Doors, drawer fronts, and hardware are removed and labeled so everything goes back exactly where it started.
Degrease & Sand
Years of kitchen grease and grime are cleaned off, and surfaces are sanded to give the new finish something to grip.
Prime
A bonding primer is applied to prevent chipping and peeling down the road, especially on high-touch areas like door edges.
Paint in Coats
Multiple thin coats are applied to boxes, doors, and drawers for a smooth, factory-style finish.
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

“AMV Construction Group did a great job on our kitchen remodel. The team was professional, communicated with us throughout the project, and paid close attention to the details. We're extremely happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend AMV to anyone looking for renovation work in the Charlotte area.”

“We had a great experience working with AMV Construction Group on our bathroom renovation. They helped transform the space and the quality of the work really shows, especially the tile and finishing details. The team was reliable, easy to work with, and kept us updated throughout the process. We would absolutely work with them again.”

I would recommend AMV to other business owners looking for a dependable contractor in the Charlotte area.”

“If I could give Alberto and AMV 100 stars I would! He did my kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room and I can’t say enough good things about him and his employees. Everything was done on time, if not early, and their work is meticulous. If a problem arose, it was solved and fixed before I could even stress about it. Easily the smoothest home improvement process I’ve had, despite it being the largest. Do yourself a favor, and call AMV!”

“We have used AMV for several home improvement projects, including full bath and kitchen remodels. My husband also works in the trades and he is very picky about craftsmanship. Alberto and his team are talented construction experts AND they provide excellent service. If you’re looking for “cheap”, maybe they aren’t your best bet; but if you’re looking for quality work, that lasts, and you don’t have to chase down to get it done, and fair pricing, look no further. Highly recommend!”

“Like several of my neighbors, I used AMV CG to repair and paint the outside of my home last year. They were very responsive, thorough, professional and trustworthy. The cost was fair and they are fully insured. I will continue to use them.”

“AMV Construction completely updated our kitchen for us, put in a large picture window in our dining room and made beautiful custom barn wood shutters for the window to close at night. They also rebuilt the bases on our front porch pillars. They did an excellent job on everything and we definitely would hire them again! :) ”

“I have used AMV construction (Alberto) for many years and always get first-class workmanship and five-star service. AMV has done renovations, painting and other construction work for me. The attached photos show my laundry room full renovation and an awesome barn door in my garage Alberto constructed to hide all my garden equipment. When painting the exterior, Alberto will always find and recommend replacing rotting wood (with PVC which never rots). Many painters I have used in the past simply paint over the rotting boards. Alberto’s team always shows up on time and many of his team have been with him for years. This is an honest, professional, family-run business I would highly recommend. I live in a subdivision of Piper Glen and many of my neighbors also use the AMV Construction team for all our painting or renovation needs.”

“We have used this family owned construction and remodeling company for over six years. They are excellent and never ever any surprises. When we moved to Waxhaw, Alberto and his company remodeled the house extensively- they were right on budget, great work ethics, and wonderful updates to the kitchen, baths, sunroom, and built is an office ! We only use Alberto and his company! We have another project they will begin this month. Yes, I am sold on this family owned construction company, the brothers and their sons plus their employees ! ”
