What We Do

Complete Cabinet Services

We offer a full range of cabinet services for Washington County homeowners in one place, delivering premium results.

Cabinet Painting

If cabinets are in good structural condition but the finish has aged, painting produces results difficult to distinguish from new cabinets at a fraction of the cost.

Cabinet Refinishing

Gives a fresh future by stripping the existing finish before applying a new one. Ideal when the current finish has faded or when changing from stain to paint.

Color Change

Update from dated wood tones to white, gray, navy, or green. We also specialize in trendy two-tone kitchens with contrasting accent and frame cabinets.

Cabinet Restoration

For cabinets with water damage, cracks, or loose joints. We assess individually and address structural issues before refinishing.

Cabinet Touch-Ups

For isolated chips, scratches, or peeling paint. We match the existing finish and address damage without requiring a full refinish.

Why Washington County Homeowners Refinish Instead of Replace Cabinets

Cabinet replacement is a large expense. Across Washington County, a full kitchen cabinet replacement typically runs between $8,000 and $25,000 or more depending on materials and kitchen size.

Cost-Effective Solution

In most cases, the existing cabinets are structurally sound and the only issue is the finish or the color. Refinishing and painting address those issues at a fraction of the cost.

The work is completed in days rather than weeks, the kitchen stays functional during most of the process, and the results hold up for eight to twelve years with the right products and prep.

Quality Worth Preserving

Washington County homeowners, particularly in communities like Canonsburg, Washington, and Peters Township, often have well-built cabinets from past decades that are worth preserving.

Solid wood construction from that era holds a fresh finish and does not need to be thrown out just because the color has aged.

Our Difference

Why Choose Custom Decorators Co.

Washington County homeowners work with us because we do the job the right way from the start. That means no shortcuts in prep, no cutting corners on primer, and no rushing dry times between coats.

We use cabinet-grade products from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams, spray doors and drawer fronts for a factory-style finish, and provide a written quote before any work begins.

We are not a general painting company that takes on the occasional cabinet job. Cabinets are what we do, and every step of our process is built around getting a finish that holds up for years.

Common Questions

FAQs

How long does cabinet painting last?

Cabinet painting done with proper prep and finish-grade products typically lasts eight to twelve years before needing attention again. The two biggest factors are the quality of the prep work and the products used. We use Benjamin Moore Advance and Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel, both formulated for high-contact cabinet surfaces.

Can laminate cabinets be painted?

In many cases, yes. Laminate cabinets can be painted when the surface is stable, the laminate is still fully adhered, and an appropriate adhesion primer is used. We assess this during the walkthrough and let you know if the surface is a good candidate before taking on the project.

What preparation is needed before painting cabinets?

Proper prep includes removing all doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, cleaning and degreasing all surfaces, sanding to create a profile for primer adhesion, and applying a coat of cabinet-rated primer before any paint goes on. Skipping any of these steps is the primary reason cabinet paint fails early.

Can damaged cabinets be restored?

Yes, in most cases. Water damage, surface cracks, loose joints, and veneer that has started to lift can all be addressed as part of a cabinet restoration project. The repair work is completed first, then the surface is sanded, primed, and finished. If the damage is too extensive to repair, we will tell you that during the assessment.

Is cabinet painting safe for kitchens?

Yes. The products we use are formulated for interior use and are applied in ventilated conditions. Once the paint has fully cured, the surface is food-safe and appropriate for a kitchen environment. We follow proper ventilation and protection procedures on every project.

Do painted cabinets chip easily?

Not when done with the right products and prep. Standard wall paint chips easily on cabinets because it is not formulated for that application. Cabinet-grade paints like Benjamin Moore Advance cure to a hard finish that handles daily contact, cleaning, and normal wear without chipping under regular use.
