Cabinet Painting vs. Cabinet Replacement: What’s Better?

Thinking about updating your kitchen or bathroom cabinets? You’re not alone—cabinet upgrades are one of the most popular home improvements in Central Florida. But before you invest in a costly cabinet replacement, consider whether cabinet painting might be the smarter choice. At Rockstadt Painting, we help homeowners revitalize their space with professional cabinet refinishing that saves time, money, and stress—without sacrificing style.

1. Cabinet Painting Saves You Thousands

New cabinets can cost anywhere from $8,000 to $20,000 or more. In contrast, professional cabinet painting or refinishing typically costs a fraction of that. If your cabinets are structurally sound and you simply want a fresh, modern look, painting offers major savings with equally dramatic results.

2. Faster Turnaround, Less Disruption

Cabinet replacement often involves tearing out your existing cabinetry, disrupting your kitchen for weeks. Cabinet painting takes just a few days—and there’s no need to rearrange plumbing or countertops. Our efficient process minimizes downtime so you can enjoy your upgraded space sooner.

3. Endless Customization with Paint

From sleek whites and grays to bold navy or matte black, painting gives you nearly unlimited color options. You can match your existing design style or go bold with a whole new vibe. We also offer glazed or distressed finishes for a more custom, high-end look. Not sure which color is right? We’ll help you choose a palette that complements your countertops, backsplash, and flooring.

4. Eco-Friendly and Less Wasteful

Why throw out perfectly good cabinetry? Painting and refinishing is a more sustainable option that avoids adding usable materials to landfills. It’s a green solution that’s just as beautiful as buying new—without the waste.

5. Professional Results That Last

DIY cabinet painting can quickly lead to chipping, uneven finishes, or sticky doors. Rockstadt Painting uses high-quality primers and specialty cabinet paints for a smooth, durable finish that resists scratches, stains, and daily wear. We take the time to prep surfaces properly, remove hardware, and apply coats evenly for a professional-grade result.
