Cabinets by MacFarland
Professional cabinet painting for homeowners throughout Southeast Michigan.
A Smarter Way to Update Your Kitchen
Replacing cabinets can be expensive, disruptive, and unnecessary when your existing cabinet boxes are still in good condition. Professional cabinet painting gives you the opportunity to completely refresh your kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, or built-in cabinetry without starting from scratch.
At Cabinets by MacFarland, we specialize in high-quality cabinet painting for homeowners who want a cleaner, brighter, more updated space. Our process combines careful preparation, shop-sprayed doors and drawer fronts, durable coatings, and detail-focused installation to create a finish that looks polished and feels built to last.
WHY CHOOSE CABINET PAINTING?
Cabinet Painting Makes Your Home Feel New Again
Cabinet painting is one of the most effective ways to update your kitchen or bathroom without replacing everything. With the right preparation, materials, and application process, painted cabinets can dramatically improve the appearance of your space.
Cost-Effective Kitchen Update
Cabinet painting allows you to refresh your kitchen without the higher cost of removing and replacing your existing cabinetry.
Less Disruption Than Replacement
Our cabinet painting process is designed to keep your project moving efficiently, with much of the door and drawer work completed off-site in our shop.
Any Cabinet Color You Want
Your cabinets do not have to be limited to a small set of standard colors. Clients can choose any color they want, giving you the flexibility to create a look that fits your home and overall design goals.
More Than Just Paint
In addition to cabinet painting, our team can help with cabinet carpentry, island extensions, custom trim work, crown molding, hardware replacement, soft-close hinges, and other upgrades that help complete the transformation.
OUR CABINET PAINTING PROCESS
A Tried-and-True Process for a Smooth, Durable Finish
Cabinet painting requires more than simply brushing paint onto existing cabinets. A quality result depends on preparation, product selection, application method, and careful reinstallation. Our team follows a step-by-step process designed to create a clean, professional finish while minimizing disruption inside your home.
Step 1: Consultation & Project Planning
We start by learning more about your space, goals, preferred style, cabinet layout, and any additional updates you may be considering. This may include color selection, hardware replacement, hinge upgrades, island extensions, custom trim work, crown molding, or coordinating cabinet updates with new countertops.
Step 2: Color, Hardware & Upgrade Options
Clients can choose any cabinet color they want. If you would like help narrowing down options, color consultations are available upon request and are complimentary when completed in our Livonia showroom (if you have a scheduled project with us). Our team can also help you explore cabinet hardware and carpentry ideas.
Step 3: Door & Drawer Removal
Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are carefully removed and transported to our shop. This allows much of the detailed prep and spray work to take place in a controlled environment.
Our facility in Livonia has 12 dedicated cabinet spray booths. If you are curious, you are welcome to chome check them out!
Step 4: Cabinet Preparation
In your home, we prepare the cabinet boxes by cleaning, sanding, filling gaps or imperfections, and protecting surrounding surfaces. Proper prep work is one of the most important parts of achieving a smooth, lasting finish. Any carpentry add-ons would also occur at this time.
We follow the same process to your doors & drawer fronts in our designated spray booths.
Step 5: Priming & Painting
Cabinet boxes are primed and painted on-site, while doors and drawer fronts are professionally sprayed at our shop. This approach helps create a cleaner, more consistent finish than standard wall-painting methods.
Step 6: Reinstallation & Final Walkthrough
Once the painted components are ready, we return to reinstall the doors and drawer fronts. If selected, this is also when updated hardware, soft-close hinges, cabinet accessories, or related cabinet carpentry details are completed. We finish with touch-ups and a final walkthrough.
* Every cabinet project is different. Timeline, scope, and process may vary depending on the size of the kitchen, condition of the cabinets, selected finishes, and any additional carpentry, hardware, countertop, or accessory updates involved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you paint cabinets or refinish cabinets?
Cabinets by MacFarland specializes in cabinet painting. Many homeowners use the phrase “cabinet refinishing” when they are looking to update the look or color of their cabinets, but we do not provide traditional strip-and-stain cabinet refinishing. If your goal is to change the color of your cabinets with a smooth, professional painted finish, cabinet painting is likely the right service.
How long does cabinet painting usually take?
Many cabinet painting projects follow a standard multi-day process, but the exact timeline depends on the size of the project, the condition of the cabinets, and whether additional hardware, hinge, carpentry, or countertop coordination is involved. During the consultation, our team can provide a more accurate project timeline based on your specific space.
Can I choose any color for my cabinets?
Yes. Clients can choose any cabinet color they want. Whether you prefer a classic white, a warm neutral, a bold island color, a soft green, a deep blue, or another custom color, our team can help you create the look you want.
Do you offer color consultations?
Yes. Color consultations are available upon request. Color consultations are complimentary when completed in our Livonia showroom.
