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.

I’m happy to have found RCP as a local company, their preparation work was great and timely, they matched the texture from water damage great and even did the work in less than 2 days for multiple rooms. I would not hesitate to call for other paint related jobs in the future.Posted on Google![]()

Quick, courteous, honest, and straightforward information presented. Robert went above and beyond in providing service and extra tips for my 2 projects. I would seek river city painting's expertise before going with another company after this experience. I hope honest people and businesses like RCP continue to flourish.Posted on Google![]()

Robert from River City Painting gave me a quote for staining my 13 year old fence around the house and for painting my backyard trellis. The next day, Robert and his crew power washed the fence and trellis, being careful around the weaker boards. Afterwards, Robert made an extra trip to the store for me to pick up 5 gallon containers of stain. On day 2, his crew did the following prep work: *scraped the old paint off the trellis, sanded it, and used a primer to set before painting a new coat the following day. *set cardboard sections all around the full length of the fence at the base *taped paper around the metal poles *taped paper over the brick wall sections where the gates are *covered the cement slab and other items under the trellis *and moved the potted plants On the 3rd day, the crew began spraying the stain on the fence and painting the trellis. Much care was taken to do an outstanding job…and they did!! After applying 2 coats and using up all the stain for me, the cleanup was meticulous; they used a power blower on the back porch, and plants were put back in place. The fence and trellis look amazing! **Robert is a very kind and conscientious person. He returned messages promptly, and described in detail the process from beginning to end. He and/or his crew was on time, even early, each day. Each person was polite, and did a very skilled and professional job. I highly recommend Robert at River City Painting for your residential and commercial projects.Posted on 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.
