Cabinets & Specialty Surfaces
The high-CPM adjacency: kitchen cabinet painting cost (by door + drawer count), cost to paint kitchen cabinets, cabinet refinishing vs refacing cost, deck & fence painting/staining cost & quantity, trim & door painting cost, and a brick/stucco/concrete masonry coverage reference. Cabinet & deck/fence quantities are geometry; cost uses your own prices — this is the paint/refinish line item, not a kitchen remodel.
Planning estimate: this is a planning estimate from the numbers you enter — not a bid or a contract. Paint quantity and price depend on wall texture, porosity, color change, number of coats, prep and patching, trim and ceilings, height and access, and local labor. Get itemized written quotes from licensed, insured painters before you commit.
Measure your actual surfaces and confirm coverage against the paint you buy. Rough or porous surfaces, a big color change and extra coats all use more paint — allow extra for texture, porosity and waste, and round up to whole gallons/quarts. Coverage varies by product and surface; read the can’s stated spread rate.
Typical published planning values — NOT a certified spec or professional advice. Coverage and coats vary by product, surface, texture and color; confirm on the paint can’s stated spread rate and the manufacturer’s data. Surface prep, moisture/adhesion and pre-1978 lead paint are a pro’s call — follow the EPA RRP rule and hire a certified firm; lead-paint abatement, structural repairs and code certification are not engineered here.
