Cabinet Painting Pro in Columbus, Ohio

Transit & Flow Group refinishes kitchen and bathroom cabinets across Columbus and Central Ohio, painting your existing cabinet boxes and doors rather than replacing them. Cabinet Painting Pro is a full professional refinish: stripping or scuffing the old finish, priming, and spraying or hand-finishing a new coat that holds up to daily kitchen use. Describe your cabinets’ size, layout, and condition in the Estimate Builder for a preliminary online estimate.

Is this the right service for you?

Cabinet Painting Pro fits when your existing cabinet boxes and doors are structurally sound and simply need a new finish. Common situations:

• Dated wood tone cabinets that a homeowner wants updated to a modern white, gray, or bold color without a full kitchen renovation.
• Worn or chipped cabinet paint from years of daily use, cooking heat, and cleaning, ready for a fresh, more durable finish.
• A kitchen remodel on a budget where new countertops, backsplash, or hardware are planned, but the existing cabinet boxes are in good shape and don’t need replacing.
• Builder-grade oak or laminate cabinets in a Central Ohio home purchased used, where the layout works fine but the finish feels outdated.
• Bathroom vanities that need the same kind of refresh as kitchen cabinets, on a smaller scale.

This service covers the paint and refinish work itself: what happens to the cabinet boxes and doors you already have. It does not cover deciding on a new cabinet layout, door style, or hardware configuration. If you haven’t yet decided what you want your cabinets to look like, whether to change door styles, add glass fronts, reconfigure storage, or pick new hardware, our Cabinet Design service is the planning and style-selection counterpart to this page, and it’s a natural first step if your project is still in the decision phase. Once your configuration and finish direction are set, Cabinet Painting Pro is where the paint work itself happens on your existing boxes and doors.

If you’re looking to replace cabinets entirely or reconfigure the layout with new boxes, that’s a different project than what this page covers; Cabinet Painting Pro is specifically a refinish of what you already have, not a replacement or a reconfiguration.

How pricing works

Cabinet Painting Pro is priced by the number of cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and boxes involved, plus the condition and prep the existing finish requires.

• Cabinet count. The number of doors, drawer fronts, and box faces being painted is the primary driver, since each piece is removed, prepped, and finished individually for a professional result.
• Existing finish and material. Stained wood, previously painted cabinets, laminate, and thermofoil all require different prep and priming approaches, and the condition of the existing finish changes how much sanding or stripping is needed.
• Spray versus hand-finish. A sprayed finish, typically done with doors removed to a controlled area, gives the smoothest factory-style result and is priced differently than an in-place hand-finished approach.
• Hardware and configuration changes. If new hardware is being installed or hole positions are changing, that’s priced alongside the paint work, though selecting the hardware itself is part of Cabinet Design, not this service.
• Kitchen size and layout. A full kitchen’s cabinets price differently than a single vanity or a small run of upper cabinets, based on total door and drawer count.

As general market context, not a Transit & Flow Group quote, Angi reports professional kitchen cabinet painting typically costs between $394 and $1,229 for a project, while a full kitchen’s cabinets professionally stripped, primed, and painted commonly runs up to around $4,000 depending on cabinet count, material, and condition. This add-on is $10 when added to an already-scheduled visit.. Enter your project details and photos in the Estimate Builder for a preliminary online estimate.

Cabinet refinishing in Central Ohio kitchens

Many Central Ohio homes built from the 1980s through the early 2000s, common in Dublin, Westerville, and Gahanna, came with builder-grade oak cabinets in a honey or golden stain that has fallen out of style even where the boxes themselves remain solid. Refinishing those cabinets is typically far less disruptive and less costly than a full kitchen remodel, since the existing layout and boxes stay in place while only the finish changes. Older homes in Clintonville and German Village sometimes have painted cabinets with many layers built up over decades, which need more careful stripping or sanding before a fresh coat goes on evenly.

Kitchens see more temperature and humidity swings than most rooms in a house, from stovetop heat to dishwasher steam, and Central Ohio’s humid summers add to that. A durable, properly cured cabinet-grade finish matters more here than in a typical wall paint job, which is why cure time between coats is planned into the schedule rather than compressed to finish faster.

Our process

1. Describe your cabinets online. Kitchen or vanity size, door count, existing finish, and photos, entered in the Estimate Builder for a preliminary online estimate.
2. On-site confirmation. We assess the existing material and condition, confirm door and drawer count, and finalize spray versus hand-finish approach.
3. Removal and prep. Doors and drawer fronts are labeled and removed where sprayed off-site; cleaning, degreasing, and sanding follow.
4. Priming and finishing. Primer appropriate to the material, then the finish coats, sprayed or hand-applied as planned.
5. Reinstallation and final walkthrough. Doors and hardware go back on, and we review the finished cabinets with you before wrapping up.
