Cabinet Painting in Arlington, MA
Family kitchens in Arlington get used hard: daily cooking, lunches, homework at the island. Painted cabinets here need to be built for that, which comes down to cleaning, sanding and primer.
How we approach it in Arlington
- Heavy-use spots like sink bases and the pantry door get extra attention during cleaning and degreasing.
- Islands can be done in an accent color while perimeter cabinets stay light.
- We plan the project so your kitchen is out of commission for as few days as possible.
The houses here
Arlington’s housing is largely single-family: Colonials, Victorians, Craftsman-style bungalows and Capes, with two-families concentrated in East Arlington and larger lots up in the Heights. Many homes have been renovated in stages, so an original room can sit next to a brand-new addition.

Cabinet Painting in Arlington: questions
Can you paint the island a different color?
Yes. A darker or contrasting island with lighter perimeter cabinets is a popular combination, and it doesn’t add much time.
How do painted cabinets hold up with kids?
Well, if they’re prepped right and given time to cure. We’ll also tell you how to clean them so the finish lasts.
Can I use my kitchen during cabinet painting?
Partly. The work area is covered and you’ll lose access to cabinets for a few days. We’ll plan with you so you can keep using the fridge and a part of the counter where possible.
