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.
Our work pattern across the city follows the neighborhood. The historic cores pull interior repaints, careful exterior prep on shotgun and Creole cottages, and trim restoration on details that don't exist in newer markets; Lakeview, Algiers, and the post-Katrina rebuilds lean toward full exterior repaints, cabinet refreshes, and the larger interior packages that come with renovations.
New Orleans is roughly 140 miles west of Mobile, so we run it as a Mobile-dispatched job rather than a Spanish Fort day trip, and we size the project so the travel is honest for everyone. We schedule around French Quarter access restrictions, Mardi Gras and festival windows, and the parking realities that shape every job in the 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.
Cabinet work is precise, so one crew owns the job from the first door pulled to the last one rehung, and your kitchen isn't split between teams. The team trains weekly, and a manager checks every door and drawer front before you make the final payment. Cabinet refinishing carries the same 3-year workmanship warranty as everything we do.
