 How Much Does Cabinet Painting Cost in Oakland, CA?

Interested in cabinet painting in the Bay Area? Here’s a closer look at the cost and process.

With a full kitchen remodel taking months to complete, and often costing into the six figures, it’s no wonder that cabinet painting is so popular here in the Bay Area. Professional painters that specialize in the process can create beautiful, lasting finishes in a fraction of the time, delivering a new look without the huge mess, expense, and hassle.

Here’s our quick checklist to see if painting is the right approach:

  • Do your cabinets meet your needs from a functional perspective?

  • Are your cabinets in solid condition overall?

  • Are they good quality, and worth investing in?

If you answered yes, this could be the perfect solution for your Bay Area kitchen.

What’s Involved In Painting Kitchen Cabinets?

1. Clear Estimate

An experienced MB Jessee Painting estimator will come to your home, review and measure your cabinets, and talk with you about your overall goals. You’ll then receive a detailed, clear estimate that outlines all of the steps involved, the products we use, job scope, and cost.

2. Careful Preparation

After you accept the proposal and the job is scheduled, we’ll perform extensive prep in your kitchen to protect surrounding surfaces and spaces. We’ll also remove all your cabinet doors, drawer faces, and hardware. This leaves only the cabinet boxes to be painted in your kitchen - all the other surfaces can be prepped, primed, and painted off-site.

3. Expert Cabinet Painting

This goes beyond just picking the right color. We know how to do it right, including surface repairs, sanding, priming, and painting with high-performance, proven products. This is where the value really shines and makes all the difference. Any painter can apply paint to cabinets, but few know how to do the process correctly to achieve beautiful, durable finishes.

4. Reassembly

After the painting is complete, we’ll reassemble your cabinets and perform any touch-ups, as needed. And no project is complete until you’ve performed a final inspection with us, ensuring that everything meets your expectations and our rigorous standards.

How Much Does Cabinet Painting Cost?

It all depends, as you can imagine, on the size of your kitchen and the number of cabinets that you need painted. But in general, you can expect an “average” cabinet painting project to cost between $5,000 and $10,000.

Customer Reviews

“Many thanks to Rigoberto and Damon and the extraordinary team who transformed my castle in the skies.They are magicians. I appreciate their work very much.”

— Kathleen A
San Francisco

“M.B. Jessee painted the exterior of my Spanish house over 9 years ago, and they did such an incredible job that they are still getting referrals from me today. The paint is holding up perfectly -- there is absolutely no peeling chipping or any other deterioration. I still remember that my final walk-through list consisted of items written on one side of a 3x5 index card (and I'm REAL picky about my house!) However, when Matt and I did that walk-through over HALF the items were no longer an issue, as his team had noticed them first and they had already been resolved.”

— JoAnn Newcomb

“My entire experience with MB Jesse was very professional. The crew were very friendly and super accommodating of my ridiculous schedule and geriatric pets in the house. The finished product, which was pretty much my entire house, far exceeds my expectations. Would definitely work with them again!”

— Heather Jordan

“Charles finished yesterday and did a fantastic job. We really enjoyed meeting Charles and having him in our home. He is a great guy in addition to his attention to detail in his work, the protection of our floors, walls and furnishings, and his overall interaction with us both. I would be pleased to recommend him to any of my clients.”

— Ken Morrison

“I can't say enough about how courteous and professional my foreman was. He was on time every morning and arrived cheerful and ready to go. He is highly organized and very thoughtful. He was extremely careful and respectful when moving my belongings - a mature professional.”

— Nora Robinson

“I cannot imagine finer painters--and I have worked with many. They work exceptionally hard. It is a joy to see their workmanship!”

— Alicia R.

“We just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the work of MB Jessee Painting and your employees. Everything turned out beautiful. Our foreman was great! He was punctual, professional, neat and very accommodating ... and went the extra mile. We will definitely recommend you to our friends and family.”

— Michelle & Rivers Gee

“MB Jessee just finished our exterior and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The foreman (Pedro) and lead painter (Ricardo) were incredible to work with: they communicated scheduling clearly, Ricardo was a joy to be around every day, the showed up early every day, were incredibly tidy and did great paint work. The final walkthrough experience was incredible. Pedro pointed out items I missed demonstrating a clear desire to complete another quality project. I highly recommend them. As others have noted they definitely aren't the cheapest but you quickly realize that you're getting what you pay for. The 3-year guarantee is also a nice touch since there are likely touch-up items that will show up after the job is done.”

— Joshua J.

“Very easy to work with, they did an outstanding job with our project of re-painting our painting our kitchen cabinets. Given the scope of the job and that our kitchen is roughly half of our upstairs living area they did a fantastic job of minimizing the mess. Workmanship was top notch, would definitely recommend.”

— Vince Scola

“Everyone I dealt with was nice, helpful, and very professional. The price was reasonable! (I didn't feel like I was getting the "San Francisco price." The attention to detail and work quality was excellent. They did what they said they would do in the exact timeframe they said they would do. Highly recommend!”

— Tim Tyson

“Awesome work by highly experienced, professional painters. They were: Conscious about the amount of time it would take. Ours had a lot of pre-work and took 3 weeks. Accommodating when we added a few last-minute changes Understanding when a heatwave hit and we remove some of the plastic sheeting over windows, which they had to put back up the next day. Accessible, especially the on-site crew (Hi Jose & Victor!) -- always answering questions and checking in. The end result is a perfect paint job that makes our 94-year-old house look brand new. I would definitely hire MBJ again”

— Stacey R.

“Just had MB Jessee paint the interior of our house and they did a wonderful job. They tackled some crazy wallpaper as well as painted some very high ceilings and walls. The whole process was quick and they did a great job! We are very pleased. I was also very impressed by the crew. They were very personable, kind and actually took pride in the work they were doing. In one of our conversations with the lead Ricardo, he actually told me he was very proud of how the rooms had turned out. I agree sir! It turned out great and it's not often you hear someone thinking of your home like they would theirs, and putting that level of work and quality into it. That made a huge difference in how I viewed this company. Ricardo, you were fantastic and thank you for the great job, we will be using you again.”
