Is Cabinet Painting Worth It? Here’s Why Homeowners Are Skipping Replacements
Upgrading your kitchen or bathroom doesn’t always require a full remodel. For many homeowners in Austin, a simple, cost-effective solution is giving their cabinets a fresh new look—with paint.
At Guevara Painting & Cleaning Services, we’ve helped homeowners transform their kitchens and bathrooms by professionally painting their cabinets—and the results speak for themselves. If you're wondering whether cabinet painting is really worth it, here’s what you need to know.

The Cost of Replacing vs. Painting Cabinets
One of the biggest reasons homeowners choose to paint their cabinets instead of replacing them is cost.
- New cabinet installations can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 or more depending on the size of your kitchen, the materials, and customization.
- Professional cabinet painting is a fraction of that cost—and delivers a huge visual impact without demolition, delays, or the mess.
Painting is one of the most budget-friendly ways to get a fresh, modern look without the full price tag of a renovation.
Cabinet Painting Is Fast and Less Disruptive
Replacing cabinets often means weeks of construction, noise, and limited use of your kitchen or bathroom. On the other hand, painting can usually be completed in just a few days—with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Our team handles everything from prep work to cleanup so you can enjoy your upgraded space without the hassle of a major remodel.
You Can Customize the Look to Match Your Style
With painting, you're not limited to the finish options found in pre-fabricated cabinets. Whether you’re going for a classic white, modern matte black, warm wood tone, or a bold color statement, we can customize the finish to fit your vision.
Want to pair it with new hardware or a fresh backsplash? Painted cabinets work beautifully with a wide range of kitchen or bathroom design styles.
Eco-Friendly and Less Wasteful
Replacing cabinets often means sending perfectly good materials to a landfill. Choosing to paint what you already have is a more sustainable choice—one that reduces waste and uses fewer resources.
At Guevara Painting & Cleaning Services, we also offer eco-friendly, low-VOC paint options, so your upgrade is healthier for your home and the environment.
Professional Results That Last
Cabinet painting is a skilled process—it requires the right prep, the right products, and the right techniques to make it durable and smooth. That’s why DIY jobs often end up chipping, peeling, or fading.
Our team uses professional-grade paints and proven techniques to ensure your cabinets look beautiful and hold up to daily use. We sand, prime, and apply smooth, even coats that make your cabinets look brand new.
