Skip to content Cabinet-Ready Kitchen Painting in Lexington
Our Lexington team handles kitchen painting for walls, ceilings, trim, and cabinet-adjacent surfaces across the Lexington Old Mill area, Main Street Lexington, Forest Acres, Lake Murray, and zip 29072. Every kitchen project covers degrease washing, primer on grease-soaked areas, satin or eggshell finish for washability, and appliance and countertop protection. Homeowners pick our painting team because we are licensed and insured, give free written estimates, degrease before primer, mask appliances carefully, and pair kitchen paint with cabinet scope when requested.
Degreased Prep, Satin Finish, and Trim Detail in Kitchens
Kitchen painting has one unique prep challenge: cooking grease. Years of stovetop cooking leave invisible grease film on walls near the range hood, on ceilings above, and on trim closest to the cooktop. Paint applied over grease peels within months every time. Our kitchen crew degrease-washes every surface within six feet of the cooktop with TSP or equivalent degreaser before primer goes down on any wall.
We offer flexible scheduling — evenings, weekends, and phased work — to ensure your business continues running smoothly during painting.
We use heavy-duty coatings made for commercial buildings, offering excellent resistance to scuffs, stains, and fading in high-traffic environments.

Walls, Trim, Ceilings, Cabinet-Adjacent
Kitchen painting scope varies by surface. Walls take satin or eggshell finish. Ceilings take flat or matte unless steam-heavy cooking calls for satin paint. Trim takes semi-gloss enamel that wipes clean. Cabinet-adjacent scope coordinates with cabinet painting when cabinets are in scope, and our painting team handles all kitchen surfaces together.
Kitchen Services That Pair With Interior Work
Kitchen painting pairs naturally with broader interior work. We coordinate with interior painting so kitchen and adjacent spaces finish on one project with color coordination.
For cabinet refresh and ceiling work, we pair cabinet painting and ceiling painting scope on matched schedules.

Yes. Kitchen painting is one of our most common interior scopes across Lexington homes. Standard scope covers walls, ceilings, window trim, door trim, and baseboards. Cabinet painting is optional add-on scope. Appliance and countertop protection is included on every kitchen project. Our kitchen crew walks the space during walkthrough to scope grease-prep requirements, appliance access, trim detail, and ceiling condition. Most kitchen paint projects run two to four working days depending on size, grease prep requirements, and whether cabinet work is included.
Yes, and combined kitchen-wall-plus-cabinet projects are common. Cabinet painting is its own specialty with distinct prep, spray versus brush decisions, and cure timelines. Our cabinet painting team handles cabinet work; our kitchen crew handles walls, trim, and ceilings. Combined projects save scheduling time because masking happens once. Cabinet scope adds five to seven working days for spray-shop doors.
Kitchen walls need scrubbable satin or eggshell finish so grease splatter, food spots, and cooking residue wipe clean. We specify Sherwin Williams Emerald Interior Acrylic Latex in satin, Benjamin Moore Aura Interior in eggshell, or Behr Premium Plus Interior in satin depending on color and budget. Kitchen walls near the cooktop take extra wear; avoid flat paint there because it absorbs stains and cannot be scrubbed without burnishing. Matte and flat sheens work in kitchens positioned away from active cooking areas like breakfast nooks and eating zones.
Grease prep is the critical kitchen painting step. Our kitchen crew washes every surface within six feet of the cooktop with TSP or equivalent degreaser, followed by clean water rinse and full drying. Visible grease gets scrubbed harder. Range hood filter area and wall behind the range get extra prep attention. Primer goes on grease-prone areas even when the rest of the kitchen skips primer. Paint applied over grease peels within three to six months; this is the number one cause of kitchen paint failure on DIY and shortcut contractor work.
Yes, and living-in-place kitchen painting is our standard approach. We sequence the work so appliances stay accessible during non-paint hours, refrigerator access is maintained throughout, and the family can cook simple meals elsewhere during the one to two days walls are actively being painted. Low-odor paints let families occupy rooms within hours of painting rather than overnight. Our kitchen crew publishes day-by-day schedules on every written estimate so families plan cooking and eating around active paint times accordingly.
A standard kitchen wall repaint finishes in two to three working days including degrease prep, primer on grease-prone areas, two finish coats, and trim detail. Ceiling painting adds half a day. Cabinet painting adds five to seven days because cabinet doors go to our spray shop. Whole-kitchen transformation with walls, ceiling, trim, and cabinets runs seven to ten working days. Smaller galley kitchens finish faster; larger open-concept kitchens with cathedral ceilings run longer. Our crew publishes day-by-day schedules on every written estimate.
Yes, and protection is standard scope. Refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, and countertops get masked with plastic sheeting and painter’s tape before prep begins. For kitchens with stone or granite countertops, we add felt or drop cloth layers because acidic cleaners can damage natural stone. Cabinet interiors get covered if painting moves close to open shelving. Flooring gets drop cloths throughout the project. Our kitchen crew documents protection on every written estimate so homeowners see exactly what gets covered before paint starts.
Satin or eggshell is the right sheen for most kitchen walls. Both resist grease splatter, wipe clean, and hide minor wall imperfections. Satin has slightly higher sheen and better scrubbability; eggshell reads a touch softer in lower-light kitchens. Semi-gloss works on kitchen trim and in small bathrooms but usually reads too shiny on kitchen walls. Flat and matte paints absorb grease and cannot be scrubbed; skip them anywhere within six feet of the cooktop. Our kitchen crew recommends sheen based on kitchen lighting and cooking intensity during walkthrough.
Yes, and kitchen ceiling painting is frequently paired with wall painting on kitchen refreshes. Kitchen ceilings collect cooking vapor and steam residue over time, showing yellowing and dust that brighten dramatically with fresh paint. Flat ceiling paint is standard; satin ceiling paint works in steam-heavy kitchens because it wipes cleaner than flat. For kitchens with popcorn ceilings, our ceiling painting team handles specialty ceiling work on matched schedules with wall painting scope.
Yes. Kitchen wall color change is one of the most impactful interior updates, and kitchens handle bold colors well because they are active rooms that benefit from energy. Dramatic light-to-dark changes (white to navy) need tinted primer plus two to three finish coats. Dark-to-light changes also need primer plus two coats for full coverage. Our kitchen crew brings sample boards to every walkthrough so you see real color under your actual kitchen lighting.
