Do you paint triple-deckers and two-family homes?

Yes, both interior units and full exteriors — multi-unit buildings are common in Arlington and we price them by unit count and access, not a flat per-building rate.

Is spraying really better than brushing for cabinets?

Yes — a sprayed catalyzed finish cures harder and holds up to daily kitchen use far better than a brushed coat.

How long until I can use my kitchen normally?

Counters and appliances stay usable during the project; full door use resumes once the finish cures, typically a few days after the last coat.

Can you paint over stained wood cabinets?

Yes, with a bonding primer to ensure the new finish adheres to the existing stain and sealer.

Do you replace cabinet hardware?

We can install new hardware you provide, or reinstall your existing pulls and hinges.

Rating

Arlington is a dense, walkable inner suburb closer to Cambridge and Boston than to open land — triple-deckers, closely-spaced single-families, and early-20th-century two-families make up most of the housing stock. Lot lines run tight here, which changes how exterior jobs get staged compared to a more spread-out town.

Kitchen cabinet painting gives a full kitchen a new look without the cost or disruption of replacement — doors and drawers removed to a controlled spray area, degreased and sanded, then finished in a catalyzed topcoat that holds up to daily cooking, cleaning, and handling. Counters and appliances stay usable throughout most of the project since the cabinet boxes themselves are painted in place while doors cure off-site.

Arlington Considerations Before You Start

With homes built close together, exterior work in Arlington usually means coordinating ladder and lift placement with a neighbor's driveway or shared fence line — we scope that access during the estimate, not on install day.

Homes built before 1978 fall under the EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting rule, which sets lead-safe work practices for disturbing old paint. Any painter we match you with in Arlington confirms RRP certification before work starts — see the EPA's RRP program overview for what that covers.

Our Process

A controlled five-step process:

01
Free Cabinet Assessment
We count doors and drawers and check the existing finish for damage.
02
Style & Finish Plan
Color, sheen, and whether hardware changes too, locked in before the estimate.
03
Degrease, Sand & Prime
Doors removed, degreased, sanded, and primed in a controlled spray area.
04
Spray Finish
Catalyzed topcoat sprayed for a smooth, even finish on every door and drawer.
05
Cure & Reinstall
Doors cured before reinstalling with fresh or existing hardware.

Questions Answered

Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Arlington, Answered

Yes — Arlington's housing stock is close-set, and we scope ladder, lift, and material staging around tight lot lines during the estimate rather than discovering the issue on install day.
