Louisville's Premier Kitchen Cabinet Painting Pricing Explained

At Wilder Painting, cabinet painting and refinishing is priced per cabinet piece to provide clear, transparent pricing with no surprises.

A cabinet piece refers to:
• One cabinet door
• One drawer front
• One false drawer front (counted as a single piece)

Some cabinets, such as lazy Susan cabinets, are constructed with two separate doors and are counted as two cabinet pieces. All cabinet pieces are reviewed and counted together during your estimate so pricing is fully understood upfront.
