Transform Your Kitchen Without the Renovation Price Tag

Professional cabinet painting with Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane. Stunning results. Durable finishes. Free color consultation. Keep your kitchen functional while we work.

Transform your kitchen cabinets without renovation costs

Your kitchen cabinets feel dated. They no longer match your style. A full cabinet replacement can cost $15,000–$30,000 and involves months of disruption. 

But what if you could transform them for a fraction of that cost, in just a few weeks, without gutting your kitchen? That’s exactly what professional cabinet painting does. 

Queen City Painting & Decorating specializes in cabinet painting that delivers stunning, durable results using premium Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane. We’ve transformed over 300 Cincinnati kitchens. Our work lasts.

Founded by Will Patrick and David Purtell, two painters who genuinely care, we’ve painted over 600 satisfied Cincinnati homes. We use premium Sherwin-Williams products, obsess over preparation, and communicate daily so you’re never wondering what’s happening in your home. 

Why Professional Cabinet Painting Delivers Long-Term Results

Cabinet painting is deceptively difficult. The DIY temptation is strong—it seems straightforward. But cabinet painting demands specific products, proven techniques, and meticulous preparation. Here’s why professionals deliver results that DIY projects don’t:

The DIY Problem:

Wrong Products

Most DIY painters use basic latex paint. Cabinets demand moisture-resistant, durable urethane finishes.

Inadequate Prep

Proper cabinet prep involves degreasing, sanding, and priming. Skip this, and paint peels within months.

Poor Application

Cabinet surfaces demand specific rolling and brushing techniques. Mistakes show in the final finish.

Durability Fails

DIY cabinet paint jobs typically last 1–3 years before chipping and peeling. Professional jobs last 7–10 years.

The Cost Comparison:

  • Full Cabinet Replacement: 
$15,000–$30,000 + 4–8 weeks of kitchen disruption
  • Professional Cabinet Painting:
$3,000–$8,000 + 2–3 weeks with limited kitchen use
  • DIY Cabinet Painting: 
$500–$1,500 + poor results that need redoing

Professional cabinet painting is the smart investment. You get transformation, durability, and value.

Two Coats of Primer + Two Coats of Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane

Our cabinet painting process is proven to deliver beautiful, durable results. Here’s exactly what we do:

Why This Process Works:
The combination of proper preparation, primer, and Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane creates a finish that resists moisture, stands up to daily kitchen use, and lasts 7–10 years.

Every Cabinet Surface, Beautifully Finished

The Gold Standard for Cabinet Finishes

Why We Use Emerald Urethane:

Superior Durability

Urethane finishes resist moisture, heat, and daily wear far better than latex paint.

Beautiful Finish

Emerald Urethane produces a smooth, professional appearance that looks custom-painted.

Stain Resistance

Kitchen spills don't stain or mark Emerald Urethane finishes like they do latex.

Washability

You can clean your cabinets without degrading the finish.

Color Retention

 Emerald holds color beautifully no fading or yellowing over time.

Industry Standard

Professional cabinet painters nationwide specify Emerald Urethane. It's proven.

We use Emerald Urethane exclusively for cabinet work because we refuse to compromise on durability or beauty.
