New Orleans kitchens, in homes dating to about 1958 and older, often hold real solid-wood cabinetry worth keeping behind tired finishes, and spraying them costs a fraction of replacement. We refinish cabinets for homes from Uptown to Lakeview. The doors and drawers are taken off and finished at our own facility in climate-controlled drying & preparation booths, while the boxes are handled in place. The result is a factory-smooth enamel, not a brushed coat. Cabinet projects run $3,500 to $9,000 with a 5 to 8 business-day lead time.

Doors pulled, degreased, sprayed for a factory finish, and cured in climate-controlled drying & preparation booths — a hard finish that won't peel at the bond.
New Orleans pairs humid subtropical climate with a housing stock that includes a lot of pre-1978 inventory, which is why EPA RRP Lead-Safe protocols matter here from prep to cleanup. The French Quarter, Marigny, and Uptown homes with their cypress siding, plaster interiors, and wood-trim galleries demand a slower, more deliberate prep than newer Lakeview construction, and the river-and-lake position keeps moisture loading high year-round.
Painting needs across the city follow the neighborhood. The historic cores call for interior repaints, careful exterior prep on shotgun and Creole cottages, and trim restoration on details that do not exist in newer markets; Lakeview, Algiers, and the post-Katrina rebuilds lean toward full exterior repaints, cabinet refreshes, and larger interior packages tied to renovations.
New Orleans is roughly 140 miles west of Mobile, so service is planned as a Mobile-dispatched project rather than a Spanish Fort day trip, with project sizing that accounts for travel. Scheduling also accounts for French Quarter access restrictions, Mardi Gras and festival windows, and parking in older neighborhoods.
A kitchen is the most humid, hardest-used room in a New Orleans house, and in a Gulf-South climate pulling about 45 inches of rain a year with July highs near 92 degrees, brushing paint onto cabinet doors in that air leaves brush marks and a finish that chips at the handles within months. The roughly 64-year-old homes here often have older solid-wood cabinets that take a sprayed finish beautifully once they are degreased and sanded to bond. Once that prep is done, the fronts leave the house: we spray and cure them at our facility in climate-controlled drying & preparation booths, where steady temperature and filtered air pull the enamel out factory-smooth and set it to a hard film. Because the spraying happens off-site, no overspray lands in your kitchen. The boxes are prepped and finished on site, then everything is reinstalled holding a hard set; the cure runs its course at home over roughly a month, so the doors shut cleanly and last, and your historic cabinetry is never left out in the Gulf-South weather.
