Cabinet Painting Services in Lincoln, NE
Six services, and the honest truth is that most people arrive wanting one and need a different one. Someone asking about refacing usually needs painting. Someone asking about painting an antique built-in usually needs refinishing. The cheapest thing we do for customers is point them at the right service before anyone spends money.
This page lays out all six side by side. What each one changes, what it leaves alone, what it costs and when it is the wrong answer. Every service links through to a full page with process detail and real Lincoln pricing.
If you would rather just describe your kitchen to someone, call us. Fifteen years and 1,200 projects means we can usually tell you which service you want from three photographs.

Not Sure Which One You Need?
Three questions sort almost every kitchen:
Are the boxes sound?
Open the cabinet under the sink and press the bottom panel. If it is swollen or crumbling, and several others are too, you are heading towards replacement rather than any of our services. If it is solid, keep going.
Does the layout work?
Not whether it is perfect. Whether you can cook in it. If you genuinely need drawers where there is a fixed shelf, or the island is in the wrong place, no finish service fixes that.
Is your complaint the colour or the shape?
Colour means painting or refinishing, and the choice between them is whether you want the grain hidden or kept. Shape: a cathedral arch, a heavy raised panel. Means refacing, because paint does not change a profile.
If you get stuck on any of the three, send photographs. A wide shot of the kitchen, a close-up of a door face and a close-up of a door edge is usually enough for us to tell you. Details are on our contact page.
