Thinking about giving your kitchen a fresh look without the hefty price tag of a full remodel? Painting your cabinets might be the answer you're looking for. The cost to paint kitchen cabinets ranges from $300 to $3,000. Most jobs average around $1,000.

The final price varies based on the size of your kitchen, the amount of prep work required, your chosen painting method and materials, your location, and whether you do it yourself or hire a professional. Understanding these costs upfront can help you budget wisely and decide which approach makes the most sense for your kitchen.

Average Cost To Paint Kitchen Cabinets in 2025

When you hire a professional, labor is the biggest cost. Most professional painters charge about $6 to $14 per square foot for painting cabinets. This adds up to around $400 to $1,300 for an average kitchen.

Cabinet condition (extra prep like sanding or priming takes time)

, offers insight into kitchen size variations: "If you've got a smaller kitchen, you might be looking at around $1,000, but larger kitchens with more intricate cabinetry can push beyond $10,000." This includes labor, paint, primer, and supplies.

The typical cost to paint kitchen cabinets also depends on where you live. This project tends to be most affordable in Alabama and North Carolina, where averages fall below $500. Rural states like West Virginia, Alaska, North Dakota, and South Dakota see the highest average prices for painting kitchen cabinets.

state-by-state breakdown of kitchen cabinet prices

Cost per Cabinet, per Linear Foot, and by Kitchen Size

Professional painters usually charge in two ways: per cabinet door or per linear foot. Expect to pay around $100 per cabinet door and $25 per cabinet drawer, or $30 to $60 per linear foot of cabinetry (measuring just the lower or upper run, not both). This is a common way professionals quote, as kitchen cabinets are often measured from end to end.

Here's how that breaks down by kitchen size:

When you hire a professional, labor typically accounts for almost 80% of the total cost, while materials make up the remaining 20%.

DIY vs Professional Kitchen Cabinet Painting Costs

The overall cabinet painting cost can vary drastically depending on whether you DIY or hire a professional.

If you're handy and have the time, DIY cabinet painting can save you a significant amount of money. Budget for these materials:

Brushes, rollers, and paint sprayer (optional)

Painter's tape, drop cloths, and hardware

Expect to spend 20-40 hours on a medium-sized kitchen, including prep work, painting, and drying time between coats.

When considering DIY materials, Waterson advises: 

"As for a DIY project, the materials alone can add up between $200 and $600. Here is where splurging is going to pay off in the long run. Research the products you're looking at and read reviews. It's not rare for us to be called to fix a DIY project that didn't turn out so nice after all."

Many painters bill by the hour or by project size. The typical rates are $6–$14 per sq. ft. (or 

). Choosing a skilled painter at a fair price can lower overall costs. Additionally, doing the prep work yourself can save you a significant amount of money.

Professionals bring experience, specialized equipment, and often warranties that protect your investment. They'll take care of the prep work, which includes removing doors and hardware, cleaning, sanding, fixing damage, and applying primer. Many pros also use spray equipment that delivers a smoother, more durable finish than brush or roller application. Some contractors provide warranties that last from one to five years, giving you peace of mind if any issues arise.

Waterson offers candid advice for DIYers: 

"I love DIYs, but my perspective and experience is that of a painting business manager. I have been closer to this type of work than most people, and I can tell you: do it, if you really want to, and your kitchen is small. But adjust your expectations. First and foremost, it's not going to be as easy or as quick as you might think right off the bat. Research all the steps before starting and put aside 7 to 10 days, lots of patience, and don't skip prep."

Factors That Affect Cabinet Painting Costs

Several factors influence the final price to paint cabinets.

The size of your kitchen and the number of cabinets set the base for cost estimates. A 

 with 15 cabinet doors and drawer fronts will cost much less than an L-shaped or U-shaped kitchen with 35-40 pieces to paint.

: Standard base cabinets typically have 2–3 doors or drawer fronts each

: Wall-mounted cabinets add another 1–2 doors per unit

: Tall pantries with multiple doors significantly increase labor time

: Kitchen islands often have 4–8 additional doors and drawer fronts

Professionals also charge more for cabinets with intricate details. Raised-panel doors require more time to prepare and paint than flat-panel (shaker-style) doors. If your cabinets have decorative molding, carved details, or layers, expect to pay an additional labor fee.

Remember cabinet boxes and face frames. They are the structural parts around the doors. Some painters include this in their per-door pricing. Others charge separately for painting the cabinet framework. It's important to ask when getting your quote.

Not all cabinet materials accept paint equally, which directly impacts your project's cost and timeline.

 (such as oak, maple, cherry, and birch) are the gold standard for painting. They accept primer and paint beautifully with standard prep work. Expect baseline pricing with no material upcharge.

 present a bigger challenge. This smooth, non-porous surface doesn't hold paint well. Special bonding primers, such as

 are usually required. These primers are about double the cost of standard primers.

Painters usually charge an extra $200 to $500 for laminate projects. This is due to the additional prep work and special products required. Some contractors won't paint laminate at all due to durability concerns.

 (heat-sealed vinyl over MDF) are similarly tricky. If the thermofoil is peeling or bubbling, a common issue near dishwashers and stoves, you'll need to remove loose material and repair the substrate before painting. This repair work alone can add $300 to $1,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Many pros recommend refacing thermofoil instead of painting.

 cabinets paint reasonably well but require careful edge sealing. MDF is porous and can swell when exposed to moisture, so edges need extra primer coats. Budget an additional $100 to $300 for the extra primer and labor. The upside? MDF delivers a smooth, consistent finish that hides the wood grain.

 is the least paint-friendly option. It's highly porous, prone to moisture damage, and doesn't hold paint well long-term. If you have particleboard cabinets, consider replacing them with a more durable material. Painting usually isn’t worth the cost.

Your paint choice affects your budget. It also determines how your cabinets look and last.

 offer unique aesthetics but come with trade-offs:

 ($25-$40 per quart): Creates a matte, vintage look but requires wax topcoats for durability. Not ideal for kitchens with heavy use.

 ($35-$55 per quart): Delivers authentic farmhouse style but may require the use of bonding agents on non-porous surfaces. Durability varies.

 ($50-100 per gallon): Professional-grade option delivering a factory-like finish, but requires spray equipment and skilled application. Rarely used for DIY projects.

 Satin and semi-gloss finishes cost the same as flat paint but perform better in kitchens. Satin ($30–55/gallon) offers a subtle sheen and easy cleaning. Semi-gloss ($32–60/gallon) offers excellent durability and moisture resistance. However, it can show surface flaws. Matte or flat finishes look nice, but they show fingerprints. They are also harder to clean, so they're not usually recommended for kitchens.

Most medium-sized kitchens need 2–3 gallons of paint and 1–2 gallons of primer. This means that material costs range from $150 to $400, depending on the type of paint you choose.

, provides practical guidance on choosing finishes: 

"If you want your paint to hide imperfections and last you long term, for example, high gloss is your go-to. However, it's the most expensive of finishes."

Professional painters often claim that prep work is 85% of a successful cabinet painting project. Costs can vary a lot depending on the condition of your cabinets.

Standard prep work for cabinets in good condition includes:

Removing doors, drawer fronts, and hardware

Filling minor imperfections and nail holes

Extensive prep work significantly increases costs when you're dealing with:

 Deep gouges, water damage, or structural problems require wood filler, epoxy repairs, or replacement parts.

: High-gloss cabinets need thorough sanding or chemical deglossing to ensure paint adhesion.

: Years of cooking residue create adhesion problems. Heavy-duty cleaners and multiple cleaning passes add 2–4 hours of labor.

: If you keep your current hardware, it will take time to remove and catalog the hinges, handles, and knobs. Damaged or stripped screws require replacement, and finding matching hardware for older cabinets can be challenging.

 Cabinets with peeling paint or uneven layers might need full stripping. Chemical stripping or extensive sanding adds to your project, and some contractors simply won't take on these jobs due to the unpredictability.

How Much Does It Cost To Paint Kitchen Cabinets?

A good countertop has the ability to make your kitchen look upscale, modern, vintage, or cozy. It’s the focal point that brings the entire kitchen together and makes a statement when people walk into the room. But countertops are also highly functional. The surface can’t just look good—it has to handle spills, scrapes, dings, and temperature changes without losing its luster.

It’s a lot to ask for, but we found the twenty best kitchen countertops for the job. In this guide, we’ll discuss our favorites, rank them based on durability and maintenance, and help you choose the best countertop materials for specific situations. We’ll also touch on cost, care, and installation, all while sharing pro tips and opinions from seven kitchen renovation and design experts. Let’s go find the right counter for you.

The best kitchen countertop material for you depends on the following:

How much traffic and use the kitchen sees

Your willingness to properly care for the counter

Your desire to use natural vs. manmade materials

That said, we believe many people want kitchen countertops that are low-maintenance, budget-friendly, and capable of handling spills and heat without becoming stained, cracked, or warped. 

That’s why we consider porcelain the best countertop material of 2025.

Porcelain comes in virtually all colors of the rainbow and can be made to look like granite or marble. It needs absolutely no care other than a basic wipe down. You won’t have to worry about cleaning up spills immediately, avoiding certain cleaners, or finding time to reseal it every year. If you need a quick place to set a hot pot or pan, porcelain can handle it without complaint. It lasts a lifetime and costs no more than the average countertop material.

Yep, we’re in love with porcelain and its equally impressive cousin, sintered stone. Both are manmade materials, and if that’s a dealbreaker for you, we recommend soapstone. It’s completely stain- and heat-resistant, and the only special care it needs is a little bit of oiling now and then. However, soapstone is very dark and may not be the right choice for brightening up a small kitchen.

Fortunately, there are tons of other countertop materials to consider if none of the above seem right for you. We’ve ranked them in the table below according to their stain resistance, heat resistance, and maintenance needs. Materials toward the bottom of the list aren’t inherently bad—they just require a little more care. Your kitchen is yours to design and enjoy, so get the counters that speak to you.

Below the table, we’ll take a closer look at each material and explain any maintenance requirements, installation precautions, and more.

Material

Average Cost (Installed)

Expected lifespan

 Chipping, cracks from thermal shock, acid etching from harsh cleaners

Porcelain is made by mixing mineral dust (often quartzite and feldspar) and white clay, then baking it at around 2,650°F. The result is an incredibly strong, non-porous countertop material that’s heat-proof, scratch-proof, stain-resistant, and requires no maintenance other than basic daily cleaning. It’s a fantastic option for busy people who don’t always have time to reach for a trivet, a cutting board, or a wash rag while prepping food.

“In the last couple of years, I have seen more and more interest in porcelain slabs,” says Karen Watts, Founder and CEO of 

. “Porcelain slabs are a new thing in American kitchens but not in European kitchens. Porcelain is extremely durable and UV-stable which makes it ideal for places by windows,” she says.

Mark Sanchez, the Founder, Territory Manager, and Senior Real Estate Manager at 

, has also seen porcelain surge in popularity among clients. “I had a buyer in Sarasota replace marble with porcelain after getting tired of polishing out rings every few months. That shift says a lot.”

Porcelain can be made in all kinds of colors and patterns, including those that mimic marble, soapstone, granite, or wood. The default (and most affordable) color of porcelain is stark white, which some people love for a classic, clean look.

Chipping around the edges is the main thing to worry about with porcelain counters, but it’s a rare occurrence. Porcelain can also be damaged by using harsh or acidic cleaners, so always read the label to make sure a product is safe for porcelain. However, harsh cleaners shouldn’t be necessary since porcelain is super easy to clean with soap and water.

Installing porcelain countertops is a job best left to the professionals because the material requires careful handling to avoid chips. Once it’s safely installed, you can expect a porcelain counter to last a lifetime.

Sintered Stone Countertops (e.g., Dekton)

 Cracking or chipping from falling objects

Made popular by the brand Dekton, sintered stone countertops are essentially manmade rocks. Mineral dust and pigments are exposed to extreme heat and pressure to mimic the way metamorphic rocks are created in nature. Sintered stone contains no clay, unlike ceramic and porcelain.

The result is a highly durable material that’s a workhorse in the kitchen. It doesn’t need any maintenance other than a basic wipe-down, and it resists stains and scratches. Like porcelain, sintered stone is UV-stable, so it won’t fade in the sun.

, says sintered stone is an underrated countertop material that more people should know about. “It’s nearly indestructible. We used it in a high-traffic AirBnB kitchen in which guests are far from delicate, and it has held up beautifully for two years of back-to-back bookings,” he says.

Sintered stone handles heat very well, but experts don’t agree on how much it should be babied around hot pots and pans. Some say it’s not prone to cracking from thermal shock (rapid and extreme temperature changes), while others advise using trivets since thermal shock is rare but always a possibility. Sintered stone may also crack or chip if heavy objects are dropped on it.

Like many other engineered countertop materials, sintered stone can be colored and designed to look like marble or granite. However, the design only appears on the counter’s surface. If the stone gets chipped (which is unlikely), the base color will show.

Professional countertop installation is highly recommended and is even required by some sintered stone manufacturers. Sintered stone countertops have only been around since the 2010s, so time will tell how long they last. However, their durability suggests that they should last a lifetime.

When we asked kitchen design pros to name their favorite underrated countertop, soapstone was the top answer. Nana Quagraine, the Founder and CEO of 

, loved it so much, she installed it in her own kitchen. “It’s a beautiful, soft-textured material which goes through a unique color change over time, making the surface look deeper and more interesting. One of the things I love most is its natural warmth. Besides, it is very durable and non-porous, which is perfect for those like me who are always cooking and spilling things,” she says.

Naig is also a fan of soapstone. “Soapstone is one of those materials that grows old gracefully. It gets a patina over time and tells a story. It’s heat-resistant, stain-resistant, and doesn’t need to be resealed every year or so like a slab of granite or marble. We installed it in a historic mock-Tudor home and it lent authenticity that quartz just would not bring to the table.”

Soapstone is close to being a perfect countertop material, but it’s prone to scratching and chipping because it’s a softer stone. If you’re looking for a counter that can withstand some abuse, you may want to keep shopping. That said, soapstone counters can last well over 50 years if treated with care.

You also don’t get many color options with soapstone. It’s usually black or dark grey with some marble-like veining. It can develop a patina over time, and regularly oiling it helps it maintain a rich color. If you’re going for a rustic, earthy feel in your kitchen, soapstone could be the star.

Soapstone can be pricey, so you may want to have it professionally installed just to protect your investment. But if you’re up for the task, you should have an easier time cutting soapstone than marble or granite without specialty tools.

Stainless steel is the go-to choice for professional kitchens because it’s super easy to disinfect and is remarkably heat resistant. In a home kitchen, stainless steel can look cold and clinical unless the rest of the kitchen is styled in a warm, inviting way.

This material is also easily scratched, may dent if heavy things collide with it, and will show all smudges and fingerprints. It can be tough to keep it looking brand-new and polished. However, it absolutely won’t stain (hence the name) and won’t warp or crack from heat. Extremely high temperatures may discolor stainless steel, but it’s usually a champ at holding fresh-off-the-stove pots and pans.

Stainless steel requires special tools and know-how to properly bend and install it, so it’s a job best left to the pros. It can last decades.

Eco-Friendly Materials for Your Kitchen Renovation

Water-Saving Kitchen Design: How to Reduce Water

Budgeting for Your Eco-Friendly Kitchen Makeover

 come and go (and come back again), there are many ways to reinvent a material's story, consider construction and waste, promote your household's health, and pay tribute to nature in a space known for creating memories around nourishment and enjoyment. 

Have you ever thought about using bamboo in your kitchen? This fast-growing plant regenerates in just five years, making it a great 

 for your countertops or floors. It's moisture-resistant, easy to maintain, and hearty. Plus, its unique grain can give your make your kitchen feel like you're at a spa or on vacation. 

Cork is a sustainable and comfortable flooring option. It's renewable, recyclable, easy to install, and soft on your feet (not to mention forgiving to falling glassware!). Because it's a natural product, it comes in a variety of designs, and you can easily stain it to match any design in your kitchen. While cork can last a long time, it requires some attention:

Avoid letting your cork floor bake in the sun all day, as it will discolor.

Like wood floors, keep cork clean and dry to promote longevity.

After a few years of having a cork floor, you may consider adding a 

 for added protection from water and stains.

Reclaimed Wood: Building Kitchen Character

While cork is soft and comes in beautiful designs, many people prefer wood because of its high level of durability and ability to withstand the weight of heavy furniture. Eco-conscious homeowners love reclaimed wood because it adds a rustic touch, keeps material out of the landfill, and gives a tree second chance. 

Imagine your kitchen cabinets, floors, or countertops showcasing the rich history of reclaimed oak or pine. You save on resources while adding character to your home.

Recycled Glass for a Unique, Vibrant Design

No, we're not suggesting you start smashing bottles on top your kitchen counters! Recycled glass countertops are a mosaic of vibrant colors that reflect light in a mesmerizing way. They’re tough, easy to clean, and give your kitchen a modern, artsy vibe. 

Mosaic designs depend on your tastes (there's every style from rustic to bohemian). Give your kitchen counter, backsplash, or even light fixtures the pop of color and personality you crave.

Did you know conventional paint can release toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air of your kitchen? Eco-friendly paint, on the other hand, is water-based and lower in VOCs. It also has less of an odor, which means you (and anyone else in your household) don't have to breathe in harmful chemicals. Be sure to look into non-toxic paints like ECOS, Bioshield, AFM Safecoat, and Behr Premium Plus Low Odor.

Even before you smarten your light system and switch out appliances, make use of the natural elements your home offers. Prioritize natural lighting over artificial lighting. And use open windows, vents, and fans to ventilate kitchen, reducing the need for energy-consuming air conditioning. 

 Cut on energy costs to help you save for that next home upgrade.

Enhancing Natural Lighting by Strategic Window Placement

Windows, especially energy-efficient ones, can add to the design and comfort of your kitchen while lessening costs and energy consumption. 

The arrangement of your windows saves electricity but also creates a warm and welcoming ambiance. Do your windows help maximize natural light in your kitchen? Consider a unique backsplash window, stacked windows on the upper wall for max light, or a garden window for ventilation and plant space.

If walls limit your window options, look to the ceiling. Skylights bring in plenty of sunlight, creating an airy and open atmosphere.

Again, look for energy-efficient windows that are rated high in energy conservation. Dual-pane glass with low-E coatings and argon gas fills help prevent heat loss and keep air in.  

Drafty home? Energy-efficient windows and doors may help.

more efficient than gas stovetops and 5-10% more efficient than conventional electric resistance units? These cooktops heat your pots directly, reducing heat loss and saving energy. And guess what? They also cook your meals faster and are easier to clean.

LED lights consume less energy and last longer than traditional bulbs, making them an eco-friendly and budget-friendly choice for your kitchen. Depending on your budget and taste, there are a variety of ways to style your LEDs, save on electricity, and create the ultimate dining experience. 

Under-counter lights to maximum space use, recessed Iights to open up your kitchen, stylish swinging pendant lights, and practical cabinet lights are all worth consideration. 

And why keep the lights on when you're not in the room? Automated lighting control systems can help with that. These systems detect when you enter or leave a room and adjust the lighting accordingly.

A Fresher Kitchen: Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs)

ERVs exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, maintaining indoor air quality without losing energy from heating or cooling. Kitchens, especially for homes in high-humidity climates, tend to build up in moisture over time (introducing gross smells and mold).

"For climates with high humidity, ERVs can help in managing indoor moisture levels, thus preventing mold growth and maintaining structural integrity," says Pam Sutten, architect at 

. "This is often overlooked but crucial in prolonging the lifespan of building materials and reducing maintenance costs."

Smells and mold are one thing, but did you know ERVs can also reduce contaminants like CO2 levels, VOCs, and external allergens? This may come as a relief to long-time allergy sufferers (and pretty much anyone invested in their home's indoor air quality).

What's more is ERV can lessen the load you put on your heating and cooling systems, reducing energy consumption and extending its lifespan. 

Sutten is an architect with a long history of designing zero net energy homes and integrating ERVs into projects to enhance energy efficiency and improve indoor air quality. In her practice, she has worked with climates with extreme seasonal variations—both hot and cold—and helped homeowners save on yearly energy costs.

"In several cases we've documented, homes have saved between 25-35% on their heating and cooling costs annually," Sutten said. 

Al Fouz, long-time HVAC veteran and owner of 

, has seen success with his Jacksonville, Florida clients. "One standout example is from homeowner reported a 30% reduction in their HVAC system's workload post-ERV installation."

By installing low-flow fixtures, using less water, and upgrading inefficient dishwashers, you can make your kitchen more efficient and save on water. Not only will this affect your energy and water bills, but it can enhance the beauty of your kitchen and increase its resale value. 

Did you know that switching to a low-flow faucet can reduce water usage by up to 60%? These faucets are an inexpensive way to save water while doing dishes or washing produce. There are many gorgeous, affordable low-flow faucets on the market, averaging around $250. 

Depending on what you want, you can go with the luxurious 

 or pull-down style, an efficient touchless, or tried and true single-handle faucet. Some reputable brands in the kitchen space include the likes of Moen, Delta, and Kohler.

Running into clogs and dishes that don't seem to get clean regardless of the soap or arrangement?  It might be time to ditch that old model for an upgrade. 

Newer dishwashers can save up to 30% more water than standard models by detecting your dishes' dirty and adjusting the wash cycle accordingly. Consider high-efficiency options from brands like Bosch, Miele, and Samsung. 

A dishwasher will range from $400 to around $1,200 depending on accessories, racks, interior tubing, sensors, and other features. A high-efficiency one can last you up to 15 years. 

There are many ways to budget for a kitchen makeover, but if you're able to,  aim to save anywhere from $12,000 to $30,000. You can also look into 

 and equity loans with low interest rates. If you're kitchen is especially outdated or you're looking to sell, refinancing might be worth it depending on your situation. If you need assistance with your renovation, 

 may be available in your state or locality. 

The good news is small kitchen projects go a long way. If you get a chic eco-friendly kitchen counter top to replace a style that's been around since the 70s and a dishwasher that actually cleans your dishes for once, congratulations, you're a kitchen renovation master.

An eco-friendly and budget-friendly kitchen is a great investment in your home's air quality, environment, and selling potential. What's more it can help you save hundreds in energy and water bills over time, add to your home's story and character, and allow you to infuse your environmental values with your home's design. 

Get more inspiration for eco-friendly projects that boost your home's ROI.

What are the long-term benefits of investing in energy-efficient kitchen appliances?

You don't have to redo your entire kitchen to see big returns. As a matter of a fact, smaller replacements (like kitchen countertops) 

 more than entirely rearranging your kitchen. Pick and choose what's most important to you and what will help you save in energy and costs in the long run.

How can I minimize waste during my kitchen renovation process?

1. Work with reusable containers as opposed to plastic bags for collecting old materials. 

3. Recycle materials and use recycled materials in your new design like reclaimed wood, bamboo, and up-cycled glass. 

How can I keep up-to-date with the latest trends and innovations in sustainable kitchen design?

Make your algorithm work for you: like and comment on posts, follow leaders in sustainable design online. Read trade show recaps, ask around about your friends' and family's favorite home renovation shows and podcasts, and join groups on social seeking information on the same topics. 

How can I verify the sustainability credentials of products and materials?

Look for Energy Star rated appliances and materials, talk to hardware store experts and building specialists, and read up on, verify, and compare product reviews. Be wary of greenwashed language that lacks substance, product examples, and sources.
