Kitchens That Look Updated Without Replacement

Cabinet painting services for kitchens, bathrooms, and storage areas throughout Texarkana, Texas.

You open your kitchen cabinets and see chipped paint around the handles, doors that no longer match each other, or a finish that looks worn no matter how much you clean. Replacing cabinets is expensive and disruptive, but refinishing them with a smooth, durable coating brings the room back without tearing anything out. In Texarkana, where many homes still have solid wood cabinets from decades past, painting them is a practical way to update the space.

Kool Painting provides cabinet painting for kitchens, bathrooms, and built-in storage areas across Texarkana and nearby communities. The process includes removing doors and hardware, cleaning and sanding all surfaces, applying primer, and finishing with a coating system designed to resist daily wear. This service is popular for rental properties and homeowners preparing to sell, as it improves appearance and function without the cost of new cabinetry.

How Cabinet Surfaces Get Prepared for Coating

Cabinet painting begins with removing all doors, drawers, and hardware so each piece can be worked on separately. Surfaces are cleaned with a degreaser to remove cooking oils and residue, then sanded to rough up the existing finish and allow the new coating to bond. In Texarkana homes, older cabinets often have multiple layers of paint or varnish that need careful prep to avoid chipping or peeling later.

When the work is complete, you will see smooth, even color on every door and drawer front, with no brush marks or drips. Hinges and handles are reinstalled so doors close flush and drawers slide without catching. The finish resists moisture, grease, and repeated contact from hands and cleaning cloths.

The coatings used are formulated for durability in high-use areas like kitchens and bathrooms, where moisture and temperature changes are common. Cabinet staining is also available if you prefer to keep the natural wood grain visible. If your cabinets have damaged panels or loose joints, those issues are noted during the estimate but are not part of the painting service.

Let Us Clear Up What You Are Wondering

Homeowners in Texarkana often ask how long the process takes, whether they can use their kitchen during the work, and how the finish holds up over time. Here are straightforward answers.

How long does cabinet painting take?
Most kitchen cabinet projects take four to seven days, including drying time between coats. Bathrooms and smaller spaces may take two to three days depending on the number of doors and drawers.
What if I want to keep the wood grain visible?
You can choose cabinet staining instead of painting. Staining adds color and protection while letting the natural grain show through, and it works well on solid wood cabinets common in older Texarkana homes.
When should I refinish my cabinets?
You should refinish cabinets when the finish is chipped, discolored, or sticky from grease buildup that will not wash off. Updating the color also makes sense if you are selling or upgrading other parts of the kitchen.
Why do some cabinet finishes chip easily?
Chipping usually happens when surfaces are not cleaned or sanded properly before painting, or when the wrong type of coating is used. Cabinets need primer and topcoats designed for high contact areas, which is standard in Texarkana projects.
What happens to the hardware?
Hinges and handles are removed before painting and reinstalled after the finish dries. You can reuse existing hardware or replace it with new pieces during the project.
