Kitchen Cabinet Painting vs. Replacing: Which Saves More?

The Cost of Replacing Kitchen Cabinets

If your kitchen cabinets look dated but the structure is still sound, you have two choices: paint them or replace them. The right choice depends on your budget, timeline, and goals for your kitchen.

All Brite Painting Contractors, Inc. has been helping South Florida homeowners transform their kitchens since 1999.

The Cost of Professional Cabinet Painting

• Stock cabinets (basic) — $8,000–$15,000 installed. Limited sizes and finishes.
• Semi-custom cabinets — $12,000–$25,000 installed. More options for sizes, materials, and finishes.
• Custom cabinets — $20,000–$50,000+ installed. Built to your exact specifications.
• Countertop removal/replacement — Must remove and reinstall countertops, adding $1,000–$3,000 in labor.
• Plumbing and electrical — Moving sink or appliances costs $500–$2,000. Demolition and disposal fees also apply.

Side-by-Side Cost Comparison

Not all paint is created equal — especially for commercial use. We use commercial-grade paints from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore specifically formulated for high-traffic areas. Scuff-resistant, washable, and low-VOC options are available depending on your space's needs.

For South Florida commercial properties, we prioritize paints that resist humidity, UV damage, and mildew — all common issues in our climate.

Timeline Comparison

1. Consultation — We visit your property, discuss scope and timeline, and provide a free detailed estimate.
2. Preparation — We protect your workspace, move or cover furniture, clean surfaces, and apply primer.
3. Painting — Professional crews apply two coats of commercial-grade paint for even, durable coverage.
4. Quality check — Every surface is inspected, touched up, and finished to our high standards.
5. Clean-up — All materials removed, furniture returned, space spotless and ready for business.
