Here is something most Lima homeowners figure out pretty quickly when they start pricing a kitchen update: new cabinets are expensive. We are talking tens of thousands of dollars once you factor in materials, demolition, installation, and all the little surprises that come with ripping things out. And for a lot of kitchens, the cabinets themselves are perfectly fine. The doors close right, the hinges work, the boxes are solid. They just look dated.
That is where cabinet painting comes in. A professional paint job on your existing cabinets can completely change the look of your kitchen at a fraction of what a full remodel would cost. And when the work is done right, with proper prep, quality primer, and a durable finish, those cabinets will look sharp and hold up to daily use for years.
We get it. There are a lot of YouTube videos out there making cabinet painting look like something you can knock out in a Saturday afternoon. And sure, you can technically buy a brush and a can of paint and go for it. But cabinets are one of the most handled surfaces in your home. They get touched, bumped, splashed, and wiped down constantly. A paint job that was not prepped and applied correctly will start chipping and peeling within months.
Professional cabinet painting involves a real process. Every door and drawer front gets removed, labeled, and taken to a controlled workspace. Surfaces are cleaned, scuffed, and primed before any finish coat goes on. Hardware holes are accounted for, edges are smooth, and the final result is even and consistent across every piece. It is detailed, patient work, and it is the kind of thing that shows immediately when it has been rushed.
At MLZ Glass, Painting, and Wallcoverings, we have been handling projects like this for over 30 years. We are licensed and fully insured, and we offer free estimates so you know exactly what you are getting into before any work begins.
Every kitchen is a little different, so we start with a conversation about what you are hoping for. Some homeowners want to go from dark wood to a clean white or soft gray. Others want to keep a warmer tone but just freshen things up. We will talk through color options, sheen levels, and what makes sense for the way you actually use your kitchen.
Here is a general idea of how the process works:
We leave your kitchen clean and ready to use. One of the things our customers mention most is that we show up on time and leave things in good shape when the day is done.
Lima is a community where people tend to stay in their homes for a while. You are not just painting cabinets to flip a house (though it is a great move for that too). You are investing in a space you will use every single day. That means the finish needs to last.
For cabinets, we generally recommend a semi-gloss or satin finish. These sheens are easier to wipe clean, resist moisture better than flat paints, and hold up against the kind of everyday wear kitchens see. We will walk you through the options and help you pick what works best for your lighting, your countertops, and the overall look you are going for.
While most people think of kitchen cabinets first, cabinet painting applies to other areas of your home too. Bathroom vanities, built-in bookshelves, laundry room cabinetry, and mudroom storage all benefit from the same careful process. If it has a door or a drawer, there is a good chance we can refinish it.
And if your project goes beyond cabinets, we handle that too. We offer full interior painting for walls, ceilings, and trim throughout your home. Many homeowners in the area find that once the cabinets look fresh, the rest of the kitchen or the connecting rooms could use some attention as well. We are happy to bundle work together and keep things efficient. We also do exterior house painting if the outside of your home needs some love too.
MLZ Painting is based in Nunda, NY, and we regularly work with homeowners throughout the surrounding area, including Lima. Whether you are in the village or out on one of the rural roads nearby, we are familiar with the area and happy to come to you for an estimate.
We have also done cabinet work in Webster and other communities across the region. Wherever the project is, we bring the same level of care and attention to detail.
We think the best way to get a feel for what it is like to work with us is to hear from people who already have. One customer, Julia, put it this way: "If I could give more stars I would! MLZ is the best! They came on time every time, and I can't say enough on their quality and work ethic!" Another homeowner, Jennie, said she appreciated "a team that knows how to get the work done properly and just the way that I wanted it to be done the first time."
That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every cabinet painting job we take on.
If you have been thinking about painting your cabinets, the best first step is a conversation. We will come take a look at what you are working with, talk through your options, and give you an honest estimate with no pressure and no obligation.
