Cabinetry is usually the most expensive part of a kitchen remodel, frequently making up 30% to 40% of the overall costs. Cabinets require a lot of materials and are time-consuming to install. However, you can save significantly by refinishing or refacing existing dated cabinets that are still in good working order. Appliances, countertops, and flooring are the other costly elements to budget for.

You can DIY cabinet painting to save on costs, but keep in mind that you’ll need skill, time, and patience to get smooth paint coverage. Additionally, removing existing varnish or other finishes can be labor-intensive. You’ll pay between $200 and $600 on paint and supplies to take on this job, depending on the paint type and quality. 

If you have the skill and patience to tackle your cabinets, we say go for it. Otherwise, hiring a cabinet painter can save you the hassle of purchasing all of the supplies and the time (and labor) of painting.

DIY is possible with proper preparation and equipment, but a professional painter ensures smoother finishes, especially for intricate cabinetry.
