A Lasting Kitchen Transformation
PM Painting LLC's cabinet painting and refinishing service is a kitchen and bathroom transformation solution for homeowners in Louisville, KY and the surrounding 40-mile area, delivering a factory-smooth finish using Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Enamel - typically at 30 to 50 percent of the cost of new cabinet installation. Every cabinet project is personally supervised by owner Phoenix Marshall, completed in 5 to 10 days, and backed by a written 3-year workmanship warranty.
Refinish vs. Replace
Most Louisville homeowners considering a kitchen refresh start by getting quotes for new cabinets — and then they see the price tag. A full kitchen cabinet replacement typically runs $15,000 to $40,000+ in Louisville. Cabinet refinishing delivers a brand-new look for $3,000 to $8,000 for most kitchens. Here's how to know which path is right for your home.
Choose Cabinet Refinishing If:
- Your cabinet boxes and doors are structurally sound (no major warping, water damage, or broken frames)
- Your layout works for how you cook and live
- You want a fresh look in a week or two - not 6+ weeks of construction
- You want to save 50 to 70 percent vs. full replacement
- You like the cabinet style but hate the color or finish
- You're updating to sell or refinance and want the highest ROI
Choose Cabinet Replacement If:
- Your cabinet boxes are warped, water-damaged, or falling apart
- You want a completely different layout (different sink location, island added, etc.)
- Your cabinets are particle-board with peeling laminate that won't hold paint
- You want soft-close drawers, deeper boxes, or upgraded interior storage
Not sure which path is right? Phoenix Marshall will visit your home, inspect your cabinets, and give you an honest recommendation — even if it's not the option that gets us the job.
What's Included
Cabinet refinishing is the most demanding paint work in residential - and the easiest service to do badly. Cabinets get touched every day, washed regularly, and live in a humid kitchen environment. A cabinet finish that's not properly prepped, primed, and cured will peel at the touch within a year. At PM Painting LLC, we treat cabinet work like furniture refinishing, not wall painting - because that's what it actually is.
Every cabinet project starts with a complete teardown. We remove every door, drawer front, and piece of hardware, label them, and transport them to a controlled spray environment. The cabinet boxes are degreased, sanded, and primed in place - your kitchen stays usable throughout. Doors and drawer fronts get a full sand, two coats of bonding primer, and two to three coats of Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Enamel applied with HVLP spray equipment. The result is a hard, factory-smooth finish that resists chipping, fingerprints, and grease.
Phoenix Marshall personally inspects every cabinet project. We handle kitchens, bathroom vanities, built-ins, mudroom cabinets, and laundry room storage. Whether you're updating a 1970s oak kitchen in Jeffersontown, refreshing painted cabinets that have yellowed in St. Matthews, or doing a full color overhaul on a Prospect new build, we serve every neighborhood within 40 miles of Louisville - including Southern Indiana.

THE PM PAINTING DIFFERENCE
Why Louisville Chooses Us
Factory-Smooth Finish, Not "Painted Cabinets"
We use HVLP spray equipment in a controlled environment to deliver a hard, smooth finish you can't get from brush and roll. No brush marks, no orange peel, no drips.
Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane
We use Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Enamel — a cabinet-grade alkyd-acrylic hybrid built specifically for kitchen and bathroom cabinets. It cures hard, resists yellowing, and stands up to daily use.
Your Kitchen Stays Usable
We paint cabinet boxes in place and spray doors and drawers off-site. Most clients still cook, eat, and live in the kitchen throughout the project.
3-Year Workmanship Warranty
If anything peels, chips, or fails within 3 years due to prep or application, we come back and fix it at no charge. Written, signed, on every job.
HOW IT WORKS
Our 6-Step Process
A tested timeline that guarantees a factory-smooth finish with minimal disruption to your home.
Free In-Home Consultation
Phoenix Marshall visits your home, inspects your cabinets, discusses color and finish options, and gives you a clear flat-rate quote within 24 hours.
Color & Hardware Selection
We bring Sherwin-Williams color decks and walk you through popular Louisville colors (Alabaster, Iron Ore, Naval). Optional hardware sourcing included.
Teardown & Transport
We remove every door, drawer front, and piece of hardware. Each is numbered for exact reinstallation. Doors and drawers go to our controlled spray environment.
Prep, Prime & Spray
Doors are degreased, sanded, primed, and sprayed with 2-3 coats of Emerald Urethane. Cabinet boxes are simultaneously prepped and painted in your kitchen.
Cure & Reinstall
Doors fully cure for 48 to 72 hours. We bring everything back, install new hardware if applicable, and align every door perfectly for a flawless finish.
Final Walkthrough
Before final payment, you inspect every door, drawer, and surface with us. We touch up anything needed and review your 3-year written warranty.

AUTHENTIC FEEDBACK
What Homeowners Say
We were quoted $32,000 for new cabinets. Phoenix's team refinished our existing kitchen for under $7,000 and the finish looks like factory-built cabinets. Two years later, no chips, no peeling, no regrets.
Honestly skeptical that painted cabinets could look this good. The HVLP spray finish is glass-smooth — no brush marks anywhere. They reused our existing hardware to save money and walked us through every step.
PM Painting refinished our 1980s oak cabinets in alabaster white. Kitchen looks like a magazine. Phoenix was there at the start and end of every workday, and we kept cooking in our kitchen the whole time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to refinish kitchen cabinets in Louisville, KY?
Cabinet refinishing in Louisville typically costs $3,000 to $8,000 for a standard kitchen, depending on cabinet count, color complexity, and hardware. By comparison, new cabinets run $15,000 to $40,000+. PM Painting LLC provides a free written estimate so you know your exact price before any work begins.
How long does cabinet refinishing take?
A typical kitchen takes 5 to 10 working days from teardown to reinstall. Smaller jobs (bathroom vanities, mudrooms) take 2 to 4 days. We provide a clear timeline in your written estimate.
Can I use my kitchen during the project?
Yes — mostly. Doors and drawers are sprayed off-site so your kitchen stays usable. Cabinet boxes are painted in place over 1 to 2 days during which the kitchen is partially closed off, but most clients cook and eat in their kitchen throughout the project.
What paint do you use on cabinets?
We use Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Enamel — a cabinet-grade alkyd-acrylic hybrid designed specifically for kitchen and bathroom cabinetry. It cures to a hard, durable finish, resists yellowing, and stands up to daily wiping and grease.
Will the finish look like painted cabinets or factory cabinets?
Like factory cabinets. We use HVLP spray equipment in a controlled environment, which produces a glass-smooth finish with no visible brush marks, roller texture, or drips. Up close it looks identical to new factory-built cabinets.
Can you refinish laminate or thermofoil cabinets?
Usually no. Laminate and thermofoil surfaces are non-porous and don't hold paint long-term, even with bonding primer. We're honest about this — if you have laminate cabinets, we'll tell you replacement is the better choice rather than take your money on a job that will fail.
What about cabinet boxes vs. doors and drawers — is everything painted?
Yes. Cabinet boxes (the parts attached to the wall) are sanded, primed, and painted in place inside your kitchen. Doors and drawer fronts are removed and sprayed off-site for the smoothest finish. Everything is reinstalled at the end.
Do you do new hardware?
Optional — we can source hardware (knobs, pulls, hinges) from your preferred style or recommend options. New hardware installation is included if you provide the pieces or we source them on your behalf.
What colors are popular for Louisville kitchens right now?
The most popular cabinet colors for Louisville kitchens in 2026 are Sherwin-Williams Alabaster (warm white), Pure White (cool white), Iron Ore (deep charcoal), Naval (navy blue), Repose Gray (greige), and Tricorn Black (matte black for accents and islands). Two-tone kitchens (white perimeter, navy or black island) remain very popular.
Do you guarantee your cabinet work?
Yes. Every cabinet refinishing project is backed by a written 3-year workmanship warranty. If anything peels, chips, or fails due to our prep or application, we come back and fix it at no charge.
