Ready to give your kitchen a new look, but not sure you’re ready to commit to a full remodel?

It’s a classic conundrum, especially if your kitchen really meets your needs overall but you just have the itch for something different. Maybe you’ve been looking at gorgeous white or gray cabinets, with that bold blue island, and suddenly your honey oak finish from 1996 just isn’t cutting it.

We get it.

The good news is that you have options. A lot of local homeowners are looking for cabinet painting services in Delaware Valley and the Jersey Shore, preferring a fresh finish over a long, expensive construction project.

Is it the right pick for you? Here are a few tips to keep in mind.

Ask yourself these questions before painting your kitchen cabinets…

1. Does your kitchen meet your needs?
We’re talking storage, layout, and overall functionality. Remember, painting is an awesome alternative, but it won’t add pantry space. Be sure that your kitchen checks every other box before investing in the cosmetic quality.

2. Are your cabinets in good condition?
A skilled cabinet painter can finish light repairs as part of the preparation process, plus swap hardware, but cabinets that need substantial repairs just aren’t a good fit.

3. Are your cabinets worth investing in?
Cabinet painting is less expensive than a kitchen remodel, but it isn’t cheap. You need to be sure that your cabinets are worth the time, energy, and resources required to do the job right.

Choose your cabinet painting company carefully
What many homeowners don’t realize is that cabinet painting is a very specialized process. Your new finish has to be beautiful, but it also has to be super durable, long-lasting, and applied in just the right way. No uneven spots, brush marks, or blemishes.

The best way to do that is to repaint the doors and drawer faces in a dedicated spray shop. A controlled environment allows for an exceptional finish quality, reducing dust and other contaminants during the spraying process. We’ve seen what happens when well-intentioned do-it-yourselfers tackle the job, and we’ve seen what happens when unqualified painting companies tackle the job too.

You and your kitchen deserve better.

How do you paint kitchen cabinets?

Here’s a snapshot of our process:

We begin with an in-person estimate, taking measurements, discussing your goals, and collecting the necessary data.
Next, we’ll provide you with a clear and detailed proposal.
Once your project begins, we’ll carefully prepare, contain, and protect your home.
Cabinet doors and drawer faces are removed and brought to our spray shop, leaving just the cabinet boxes and trim to be painted on-site.
Once the cabinet doors and drawers are painted, we’ll bring them back and reinstall.
Any necessary touch-ups are completed.
We’ll perform a final walkthrough with you to be certain every detail is complete.

Homeowner Testimonials

We recently had interior painting done by John Byrne. They are a Class Act. Mr. Byrne came to oversee the project and give daily instructions.
Jose and Valentine were meticulous in their work and clean up. They worked tirelessly during the hot July weather.
Our result was a transformed home. We highly recommend his work and his company.

Julie & Richard M.

John Byrne was a pleasure too work with when we chose them to paint the exterior of our home. They were on time each day, cleaned up and even returned to paint a new garage door that arrived weeks after they finished the rest of the house. I would highly recommend them and choose them again.

Ginny Williams

I recently had 2 different jobs completed and Jenn is very helpful coming out to do a walk thru to provide a quote and guidance for the job. The painters are professional and do a great job with prep and clean up. The repairs made to my drywall around my skylights were amazing.

John Byrne painting was terrific to work with. Jennifer was very easy to work with from the estimate to scheduling our full exterior painting job. Miguel and his crew were professional and efficient. They were able to complete the job in 2.5 days and were very good about cleaning any mess up at the end of each day. Will definitely use again for other painting needs around our home.

John Byrne Painting was doing a job where I worked 10 years ago. Their work stuck with me for a number of reasons. They showed up everyday and on time. Did all the necessary prep work and were very meticulous. Cleaned up everyday. You’d never know they were there. Fast forward 10 years. I needed several rooms in my house painted and thought of their company. I called John Byrne and several other companies to get estimates. John Bryrne came out himself. He was competitive with the estimate and because I had seen his work, I decided to have him do the job.

It was the right decision. Nothing had changed from ten years prior. They did the job in the time he said they would. They were on time every day. The workers had been with him for years and were pleasant and knowledgeable. When I added a few extra things to be painted, it was met with “whatever you need”. It was probably the most pleasant experience I’ve had with anyone working at my house.

If you’ve ever had any kind of work done in your home, you know how hard it is to find reputable workers who actually show up, do the the work they are supposed to do and do it in a timely manner. Love working with this company. I would absolutely use them again. You won’t be disappointed!!

My place of work recently had painting done by John Byrne Painting. They were very accommodating with our complex schedule, and the work is beautiful.

Maggie R

We recently had John Byrne Painting paint our condo. The experience was wonderful. From the moment the Project Manager came to our home to do the evaluation through the end of the project everything was top notch. They were willing to help with color choices if necessary. The paint crew was exceptional, they moved everything and cleaned up daily, they were pleasant and did an outstanding job the finished product was incredible. I am delighted with the job and now know the difference between a professional paint job and a DIY. Beautiful job!

Susan Hargadon

John Byrne Painting recently completed a large, complicated, interior painting project at our home in Wayne that took two weeks to complete. Jennifer Bosco was our estimator and project manager. We have used John Byrne Painting for years for both interior and exterior projects. On several occasions we have requested bids from other companies - and the quotes from John Bryne Painting have always been competitive. In addition, the work they do is first class, and we completely trust Jennifer and the painters - so much so that this time we just gave them the key to our house, and went on vacation while the project was completed. As usual, when we returned we could not have been more pleased with the result!

Eugene Bissell

John Byrne Painting recently painted our cherry kitchen cabinets.
They matched the color paints we asked for perfectly. Our kitchen has an updated and modern look to it now. The painters were professional and courteous at all times. The job was done neatly and efficiently. We would highly recommend John Byrne painting for kitchen cabinets and will be using them for our walls as well.

John Byrne's team painted our entire 3,000 sq ft home: walls, ceilings, all woodwork, french doors, closets, and garage. They are meticulous, professional, and worked very hard. They cleaned up at the end of each day. The project took 3 weeks to complete (exactly as Jennifer estimated) and their price was right in line with other bids I had received. We are thrilled to have worked with this company and are so happy to recommend them to others!
