Cabinet Painting in Somerville, MA
Somerville kitchens are often compact, especially in condos, which makes cabinet painting a smart upgrade: a full new look without moving walls, plumbing or appliances.
How we approach it in Somerville
- In a small kitchen, we stage doors and drawers in a protected area so the rest of the unit stays livable.
- Older solid wood cabinets usually take paint very well once they’re degreased and sanded.
- Vanities in small baths can be done in the same project.
The houses here
Somerville is the most densely populated city in New England, and much of its housing stock is wood-frame triple-deckers and two-families from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Lots are tight, houses sit a few feet apart, and many buildings are split into condos with shared exteriors, shared stairwells and more than one owner to coordinate.

Cabinet Painting in Somerville: questions
Where do you paint the cabinet doors?
We take them off, label them, and set up a protected area to prep and finish them. On smaller condo projects we plan that space with you during the walkthrough.
Is painting worth it in a small condo kitchen?
Often, yes. If the boxes are solid and the layout works, paint changes the whole room for much less disruption than replacement.
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.
