Do you paint cabinets as well as furniture?

We paint cabinets in the home and on the hinges, meaning doors and cabinets can often remain in place during the process. Painting cabinets can dramatically update kitchens, bathrooms, and built-in storage without the cost of full replacement.

Yes. Our concierge furniture painting service is designed for customers within approximately one hour of Birmingham, Alabama. This allows us to provide reliable consultations, pickup, delivery, and painting services.
Do you only work with local customers?
In many cases, yes. Painting furniture can:
• Save money compared to buying new pieces
• Preserve high-quality solid wood furniture
• Reduce waste and landfill disposal
• Allow you to enjoy heirloom pieces in your home
Many older furniture pieces are better built than modern furniture, making them perfect candidates for a beautiful refresh.
Is painting furniture better than replacing it?
Some furniture may not be ideal for painting, such as:
• Severely water-damaged pieces
• Furniture with structural damage
• Low-quality particle-board furniture with failing surfaces
If you’re unsure, send us a photo and we’ll provide honest feedback.
What furniture should NOT be painted?
When properly prepared and finished with professional products, painted furniture can last many years with normal household use.
Our process creates a smooth, durable finish designed for everyday living.
How durable is painted furniture?
While DIY furniture painting can work for small projects, achieving a smooth, durable, professional-quality finish requires specialized products, tools, and preparation techniques.
Professional refinishing includes:
• Proper cleaning and surface preparation
• Professional-grade furniture and cabinet paints
• Even application techniques for a smooth finish
• Controlled drying and curing conditions
Hiring a professional ensures your furniture receives a long-lasting finish that looks beautiful and holds up to everyday use.
Why should I hire a professional furniture painter instead of painting it myself?
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of custom furniture painting is the ability to tailor a piece specifically to your home.
During your consultation, we can help you choose:
• Colors that complement your existing décor
• Finishes that fit your design style
• Subtle updates that modernize older furniture
The result is furniture that feels intentional, cohesive, and uniquely yours.
