Wondering how Cabinet Refinishing can upgrade your kitchen without draining your budget? The answer is simple: instead of tearing out solid cabinets and paying for costly replacements, refinishing gives you the same fresh, modern look at a fraction of the price.
At CBS Professional Painters, we’ve helped homeowners across Vancouver and Portland save thousands by choosing refinishing over replacement. As a trusted Cabinet Painting Contractor, we know how to turn worn, dated cabinets into stunning focal points that feel brand new — all while keeping your project affordable and stress-free.
Replacing cabinets in Vancouver or Portland can run between $15,000 and $30,000. That’s before you even think about countertops, appliances, or flooring.
With Cabinet Refinishing, you keep your existing structure and simply give it a new skin. Most homeowners save thousands — sometimes enough to fund a bathroom update or those new appliances they’ve been eyeing.
One Portland client told us she’d been quoted nearly $22,000 for new cabinets. We refinished hers for under $7,000. With the savings, she splurged on a farmhouse sink and high-end stove.
Nobody enjoys living in a construction zone. Replacement often means weeks of dust and demolition. Refinishing? We’re usually done in 3–5 days. Your kitchen is out of commission for a fraction of the time, and we leave it spotless when we’re finished.
Perfectly solid cabinets shouldn’t end up in a landfill. Refinishing reuses what’s already there, cutting waste dramatically. In an eco-conscious city like Portland, that matters.
Cabinets dominate the room. If they’re dated, the whole space feels tired. But the right color can completely transform it:
A Vancouver couple recently told us their refinished cabinets “made the kitchen feel 10 years younger.” Their friends couldn’t believe they hadn’t bought new ones.
Though kitchens get all the attention, Cabinet Refinishing works wonders in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and even garages. We refinished a laundry room set in a soft blue for a Portland family, and now even folding clothes feels less like a chore.
Cabinets take daily abuse — grease, fingerprints, steam, you name it. If the prep isn’t done right, the finish won’t last. As seasoned Cabinet Painting Specialists, we clean, sand, patch, and prime every surface until it’s ready to bond with paint.
We don’t use off-the-shelf wall paint. We use professional-grade sprayers and cabinet-specific coatings that resist scratches, grease, and fading. That’s why our finishes often last more than a decade.
When you hire CBS, you’re hiring a licensed, insured, and trusted Cabinet Painting Contractor. That means no drips, no shortcuts, no worries.
We’ve developed a process that balances speed with precision. Here’s how we do it:
One Portland homeowner laughed when she saw us labeling every hinge and handle: “I thought you were painters, not surgeons!” But that attention to detail is exactly why the final product looked brand new.
Our Pacific Northwest climate is tough on paint. High humidity and rainy seasons can ruin finishes if you don’t know which products to use. We do — and that’s why our cabinets stay beautiful for years.
Our 5-star reviews on Google, Thumbtack, and Yelp aren’t just stars — they’re stories. Stories of clear communication, clean job sites, and homeowners who feel like their kitchens belong in a magazine spread.
We don’t push trends. We listen. Whether you want timeless white, bold black, or something unique, we’ll help you choose finishes that match your taste and your home’s style.
Plenty of homeowners consider doing it themselves. Here’s what we’ve seen:
We’ve been called more than once to rescue a DIY project, and homeowners always say the same thing: “I wish we’d hired you from the start.”
