WHAT MOVES THE PRICE

Five things that change your number.

Two kitchens the same size can price differently. These are the big ones.

Extras are quoted separately. Cabinet interiors, a new stain color and other add-ons are itemized, so you only pay for what you want.

01

Doors & drawers

The count matters most. Every door and drawer front is prepped and finished on both sides.

02

Cabinet condition

Peeling finish, water damage or broken parts need repairs before anything is finished.

03

The color change

Going from dark wood to white takes more primer and more coats than a similar color.

04

Two-tone & islands

A second color or a large island adds setup and spraying time.

05

Hardware & hinges

New pulls, knobs and soft-close hinges are optional upgrades.

How much does it cost to paint kitchen cabinets in Portland?

Portland-area homeowners typically pay about $3,500 to $15,000, depending on the kitchen and the company. At Sapphire Cabinet Co, most average kitchens (about 25 to 35 doors) cost $4,775 to $8,000.

Is painting cheaper than new cabinets?

Yes, usually by a lot. New cabinets typically run $15,000 to $40,000 or more before countertops and installation. Painting keeps your cabinet boxes, counters and layout and is usually done in 10 to 14 days.

How much does cabinet refinishing cost?

About the same as painting: most kitchens run $4,775 to $8,000. Refinishing keeps the wood grain under a fresh clear coat and fits solid wood cabinets that are worn but still in good shape.

How much does cabinet refacing cost?

Most kitchens run $7,500 to $15,000, often about half the cost of new cabinets. That covers new doors and drawer fronts, frames finished to match, and new soft-close hinges and hardware.

What is included in the price?

Cleaning, degreasing, sanding, priming or sealing, a multi-coat professional spray finish, masking of floors and counters, putting the hardware back on and a final walkthrough. Every finish is backed by our 5-year warranty against peeling and chipping.
