Golden oak kitchens
The honey-oak era is everywhere in Golden's 1980s and 90s homes, and paint transforms it.

Cabinet Painting questions from Golden homeowners
How much does cabinet painting cost in Golden?
Published Front Range data puts professional cabinet refinishing at roughly $2,000 to $8,000 for a typical kitchen. The driver is the number of doors, drawer fronts and boxes, plus the condition of the existing finish.
Is painting cabinets cheaper than replacing them?
Substantially. Replacement in the Denver area commonly starts around $15,000 and climbs past $30,000, while refinishing runs a fraction of that when the boxes are solid.
Can you paint honey oak cabinets white?
Yes, and it is one of the most requested projects in Golden. Oak has open grain, so the question is whether you want the grain to show through or be filled for a smooth finish. We will show you both.
How long does it take?
Most kitchens take 3 to 5 days on site, driven by cure time between coats. Doors are often finished in a controlled area while boxes are completed in place.
Will the finish chip?
Not when the process is right. Chipping traces back to skipped degreasing, no scuff sanding, missing bonding primer or wall paint used instead of a cabinet-grade product.
Do you paint vanities and built-ins?
Yes. Bathroom vanities, built-in bookcases, mudroom lockers and laundry cabinetry use the same process.
