Our Cabinet Painting Process in San Antonio

Cabinet Evaluation and Estimate

We review the cabinet material, existing coating, wear, layout and desired finish before defining the preparation and painting scope.

Door and Hardware Removal

When included in the project method, doors, drawer fronts and hardware are removed and labeled so surfaces can be prepared and coated more consistently. The exact process is explained before work begins.

Cleaning and Surface Preparation

Cabinet surfaces are cleaned to remove grease and residue, then sanded or otherwise prepared as required for adhesion. Primer is selected based on the substrate and existing finish.

Cabinet Coating Application

Cabinet-grade coatings are applied using the method selected for the project, with attention to a smooth, consistent finish and appropriate drying or curing requirements.

Final Review

After the finish has reached the appropriate stage, removed components are reinstalled and the included surfaces are checked for final touch-ups.

Cabinet Painting Cost in San Antonio

Pricing depends on the number of doors and drawers, cabinet condition, amount of preparation, finish system, color change and project setup. River City Painting provides a project-specific estimate after reviewing the cabinetry.

What Cabinet Painting Can and Cannot Fix

Painting can improve color and finish, but it does not correct major structural cabinet damage, failing boxes, significant water damage or hardware/layout limitations. Those issues should be evaluated separately before refinishing.

Bathroom Vanity and Built-In Cabinet Painting

We also paint appropriate bathroom vanities, storage cabinets and built-ins. Coating selection is based on the material, existing finish and use of the space.

Kitchen Cabinet Painting

Kitchen cabinet painting can change the look of the room while retaining cabinet boxes and doors that remain in serviceable condition. Preparation is especially important because kitchen cabinetry is exposed to frequent handling, grease and cleaning.

Bathroom Vanity & Built‑In Cabinet Painting

We professionally paint bathroom vanities, linen cabinets, and custom built‑ins, using moisture‑resistant coatings that maintain color, adhesion, and durability in high‑humidity environments.

Cabinet Refinishing

Our cabinet refinishing services in San Antonio include sanding, priming, and repainting or color changes, ideal for homeowners who want to update oak, maple, MDF, or previously painted cabinets with a fresh, modern finish.

Custom Cabinet Finishes & Protective Coatings

We offer custom cabinet finishes, including satin, semi‑gloss, and smooth sprayed coatings, along with protective topcoats that enhance durability, stain resistance, and long‑term performance.

Why Choose Cabinet Painting Over Replacement

Professional cabinet painting allows homeowners to update the look, color, and finish of their cabinets while preserving the existing structure. Compared to replacement, cabinet painting offers faster completion, less disruption, and excellent return on investment when performed using professional systems and durable coatings.

High-Quality Materials & Low-VOC Options

We use commercial-grade primers and cabinet-specific paints designed for durability, adhesion, and smooth finishes. When requested, low-VOC paint options are available for safer indoor air quality during and after the project.

Warranty & Quality Assurance

River City Painting stands behind our work with a written workmanship warranty. Our focus on preparation, premium materials, and professional application ensures cabinets that look great and perform well for years.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Robert and his team did an excellent job repairing and painting siding on my house.

I had several sections of failing siding on my house. Robert was able to inspect the siding, give me a quote, and complete the work all within 1 week.

He was fairly priced, had great communication, and his team was very efficient and professional. Robert went above and beyond by providing me a list of all my interior and exterior paint colors, by replacing an additional piece of failing siding that we noticed as his team was finishing up, and by giving me advice on siding maintenance that I can do myself.

I’d recommend River City Painting to friends and family.
