Professional Cabinet Refinishing in Houston, TX

Professional cabinet refinishing for Houston kitchens: a factory-smooth sprayed finish, with pricing published right on this page.

What's included

Give your kitchen a fresh, factory-smooth finish without the cost and disruption of replacing your cabinets. At Merner's Painting & Decorating, we don't simply paint cabinets: we follow a detailed refinishing process designed to deliver a smooth, durable finish that transforms the entire room.

One color, complete

One color of your choice on doors, drawer fronts, boxes, and frames. All professional materials included in the price.

Your choice of finish

Sherwin-Williams Gallery Series as standard, or the Renner 2K catalyzed system as a premium upgrade.

Degrease & deep clean

Houston kitchen grease is the enemy of adhesion. Every surface is thoroughly degreased and cleaned before sandpaper ever touches it.

Dust-extraction sanding

Professional dust-extraction equipment keeps sanding dust out of your home while giving the primer a surface it can grip.

BIN shellac-based primer

Blocks stains and tannin bleed and bonds to slick factory finishes, the primer cabinet-grade work demands.

On-site spray booth

Doors and drawer fronts sprayed on-site in a clean, controlled booth, so nothing has to be trucked to an outside shop.

Our process

  1. 01

    Remove & Label

    Cabinet doors, drawer fronts, hinges, and hardware come off and are carefully labeled so every piece goes back to the opening it came from.

  2. 02

    Protect the Room

    Countertops, floors, appliances, walls, and surrounding areas covered and masked before any work starts.

  3. 03

    Seal the Work Area

    The kitchen is sealed off so the work area stays clean and contained and dust does not travel through the rest of your home.

  4. 04

    Degrease & Clean

    Every cabinet surface thoroughly degreased and cleaned, because coatings bond to clean wood and peel off grease.

  5. 05

    Sand

    All surfaces sanded using professional dust-extraction equipment, giving the primer a surface it can grip.

  6. 06

    Patch & Repair

    Unwanted hardware holes patched and minor damage repaired with professional-grade Bondo where required.

  7. 07

    Prime

    BIN shellac-based primer applied for excellent adhesion and stain blocking on every surface.

  8. 08

    Sand Between Coats

    Sanded between coats to build a smooth, refined surface for the finish to land on.

  9. 09

    Spray the Finish

    Multiple finish coats sprayed in the coating system you selected, Gallery Series or Renner 2K.

  10. 10

    Dry & Cure

    Proper drying and curing time allowed before anything is handled or reinstalled.

  11. 11

    Reinstall

    Doors, drawer fronts, hinges, handles, and protective bumpers reinstalled and adjusted.

  12. 12

    Inspect & Walk Through

    A detailed inspection, then a final walkthrough with you under your own kitchen lighting.

Convenient on-site spray booth

We create a professional spray booth directly on-site for your convenience. This allows us to spray your cabinet doors and drawer fronts in a clean, controlled environment without transporting them to an outside shop.

By eliminating unnecessary transportation, handling, and shop overhead, we can provide a streamlined service, reduce the risk of damage during transport, and pass those savings directly on to you.

The result is a clean, professional finish without visible brush marks or heavy roller texture. Choose from virtually any color and give your existing cabinets an entirely new look, while saving significantly compared with a complete cabinet replacement.
