What Drives the Cost
Cabinet count, door style, and whether hardware is replaced all affect price, with most Beaverton kitchens landing between $2,500 and $6,000.
Ornate or raised-panel doors take longer to spray evenly and add labor cost.
Spray vs. Brush Finish
Most professional cabinet painters remove doors and drawers to spray them off-site in a controlled booth, which produces a smoother finish than brushing in place.
In-place brushing is faster but usually shows more texture over time.
Timeline for a Typical Project
A standard kitchen takes 3-5 working days from prep through final coat, plus curing time before heavy use.
Homeowners in Progress Ridge and Murrayhill often schedule around a short vacation to avoid kitchen disruption.
Choosing the Right Contractor
Ask to see photos of past cabinet work and confirm the contractor's CCB license before booking.
A detailed estimate should specify primer type, number of coats, and whether interiors of cabinets are included.
Typical cost ranges
| Small kitchen (under 15 doors) | $2,500 - $3,800 |
| Average kitchen (15-25 doors) | $3,800 - $5,000 |
| Large kitchen (25+ doors) | $5,000 - $6,000+ |
| Hardware replacement add-on | $150 - $600 |
Ranges are general estimates gathered from homeowner-reported quotes, not an offer or a quote for your project.
