Serving the Greater San Francisco Bay Area

Top Rated Cabinet Painting Company In Oakland & Surrounding Areas

Replacing kitchen cabinets can cost $20,000 to $50,000 or more. Professional cabinet painting delivers a stunning transformation for a fraction of that investment. Since 2004, Arana Craftsman Painters has specialized in cabinet refinishing using Renner and Cabinet Coat, two of the most durable coatings available. We don’t spray cabinets in place and call it done.

We completely disassemble every door and drawer, label each piece, degrease and sand thoroughly, prime properly, and apply flawless finish coats off-site for factory-quality results. Our process takes longer, but it lasts longer.

We’ll discuss honest expectations during your consult because painted cabinets may show wear in high-traffic, high-heat, and high-moisture areas over time. Transparency matters more than a quick sale.

Proven Cabinet Painters

Cabinet painting is one of the most technical services we offer. It requires precision surface preparation, professional-grade coatings, and meticulous application techniques. Our crews have refined this process over thousands of projects across the San Francisco Bay. We start by protecting your countertops, floors, and appliances.

Then we remove all doors, drawers, and hardware, label everything for accurate reinstallation, and transport components to our controlled workspace. We degrease and sand every surface to ensure proper adhesion, apply premium primers, and finish with Renner or Cabinet Coat (your choice based on your budget and performance needs).

The result is a durable, beautiful finish that costs 70% to 80% less than replacement and can last for years with proper care.

Cabinet painting costs a fraction of replacement while delivering dramatic results. Most kitchen cabinet painting projects range from $5,000 to $12,000 compared to $20,000 to $50,000+ for new cabinets. You get a fresh, updated look without the expense, mess, and months-long disruption of a full remodel.

If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound, there’s no reason to replace them. Painting preserves your existing layout, avoids landfill waste, and eliminates the hassle of coordinating demolition, new cabinet installation, countertop templating, and plumbing/electrical adjustments that come with replacement.

Painting opens up unlimited color possibilities. Choose classic whites and grays, bold navy or forest green, or custom-matched colors that complement your countertops, backsplash, and flooring. We’ll help you select the perfect shade during your complimentary color consultation.

Cabinet painting is one of the most sustainable kitchen upgrades available. It eliminates demolition waste, avoids manufacturing new materials, and uses low-VOC coatings for healthier indoor air quality. You get a beautiful kitchen transformation while reducing environmental impact.

A fresh, modern kitchen is one of the highest-ROI improvements you can make. Cabinet painting updates your home’s most important room at a fraction of the cost of replacement, making it an attractive investment whether you’re staying long-term or preparing to sell.

Dependable Cabinet Painting Services

When you choose Arana Craftsman Painters for cabinet painting, you’re choosing a comprehensive process that delivers lasting results. We handle every detail: complete disassembly and labeling, professional degreasing and sanding, premium priming, flawless finish coats (applied in a controlled environment, not on-site), hardware reinstallation, and final walk-through.

Most cabinet projects take 5 to 10 days, depending on kitchen size and complexity. We work efficiently to minimize disruption, protect your home as if it were our own, and back every project with our 5-year warranty. We use only Renner and Cabinet Coat because they’re engineered for durability in high-traffic kitchens.

And we’ll set realistic expectations upfront because painted cabinets (without conversion varnish available only in factory settings) may show wear over time in high-heat and high-moisture areas.

Cabinet Refinishing & Resurfacing

Cabinet refinishing and resurfacing restore beauty to worn, outdated cabinets. Refinishing involves stripping old finishes, repairing damage, and applying new stain or paint. Resurfacing replaces doors and drawer fronts while refinishing cabinet boxes.

At Arana Craftsman Painters, we specialize in cabinet painting (a form of refinishing) that delivers stunning results without the cost of new doors.

We’ll assess your cabinets during the consult and recommend the best approach based on their condition, your budget, and your goals. Whether you need a complete color transformation or a refresh of existing finishes, we bring the same meticulous craftsmanship we apply to every project.

Best Cabinet Painters

What separates the best cabinet painters from the rest? Process and accountability. At Arana Craftsman Painters, we’ve completed thousands of cabinet projects since 2004 by refusing to cut corners. We don’t spray cabinets in place where overspray damages countertops and appliances. We disassemble, label, transport, prep, prime, and finish properly. We use Renner and Cabinet Coat, not big-box store paints.

And we back every project with a 5-year warranty and yearly check-ins. Our clients call us back not because something went wrong, but because they trust us to handle their next project with the same care.
