Project PKC
“Hey, hon, what are you doing over there?” asks Jason.
Sarah looks up from her phone. “I’m thinking about starting Project PKC so I’m doing some research.” Jason raises an eyebrow. “Project PKC?” he asks slowly.
Sarah smiles. “Yeah, Project Paint Kitchen Cabinets. I’m sick of the dark wood look, makes me feel like my mom. Not that that’s bad or anything, I just don’t like this older style. I’d love it if we could update the look to something more modern. I looked up how to paint kitchen cabinets and it seems like it’d be easier to hire someone.”
Jason flops down on the couch next to her. “That sounds nice but expensive. What exactly are you looking up right now?”
“Pricing, actually. Want to know the cost to paint kitchen cabinets in Ann Arbor?” Jason nods as Sarah angles her phone so he can see too.
Here’s what the couple discovers:
The Cost To Have A Professional Paint Kitchen Cabinets
The cost to paint kitchen cabinets is anywhere from $4,000 to $9,000 and higher. The average cost, which includes the cost for mid-sized kitchens, is about $6,800. It depends on size, how much of the cabinets are being painted, complexity, damages, and the materials.
What Can Change The Cost
Size. Larger kitchens tend to have more cabinets. This means more time, labor, and materials, which increases the cost.
How much is being painted. There are the doors, frames, the cabinet box, the inside, and the shelves. The more you want to paint the more time, labor, and materials it’ll take.
Damages. If we find any damages we’ll let you know immediately and decide together what to do. It’s best to fix them instead of paint over them. Any damages will only get worse and may show up through the paint. Damages can also cause the paint to crack and peel more quickly.
Complexity. Size, the amount being painted, and damages fall into this. But, it can also include layout (tight, confined spaces can make painting harder). If your cabinets have paint or stain already on them we need to strip that off first.
Materials. The more expensive paints and stains are better choices. They tend to look better for longer than cheaper, lower-quality ones. This means you’ll have to paint them less often (which means you won’t have to give up your money, personal space, or cabinets as quickly).
