Quality Cabinet Painting and Refinishing
Your kitchen is the hub of the house. Family, in-laws, and friends all end up there at every event. Its the gathering place where families talk and kids can do homework and projects. Are you ready to make the kitchen a place for everyone to love again? The Cabinets are probably one of the most used parts of the home and keeping them looking great can be a challenge after years of use. We have focused on cabinet painting to be able to provide you with a quality cabinet long-lasting finish that will look great for years to come.
Cabinet painting and refinishing has been a large part of our painting business for the last 10 years and with the trends now going away from stained cabinets and more towards painted cabinets, we have adapted for the demand by installing a professional paint booth to do all of our cabinet spraying in. The cabinet pieces are sprayed, and left to dry, in a dust-free and contaminate-free area.
We take pride in every door and drawer front that is finished in the spray shop.
We only use the finest Italian cabinet paint available to the refinishing market. This material is made with the finest pigments and binders in the refinishing world. Cabinets are a valuable part of your home. They are also one of the most used parts of your home, and for this reason, we do not take shortcuts and use the best materials and best equipment available. That is what Carolina Painting does.

Kitchen of the Month - Green Kitchen - Columbia SC
This is the “BEFORE” picture of one of the latest kitchen transformations we completed. The customer was tired of the wood stain and wanted to add her personal touch.
The “AFTER” pic shows the finished product. The customers were ecstatic and couldn’t be happier with the new look. The main cabinet color is Great Green and the island is Ginger Root, both from Sherwin Williams.
See our blog post, “Should I Paint My Kitchen Cabinets?”, if you are thinking about doing them yourself. Although it definitely can be done, it is usually more work than most expect.
