A flawless, factory-smooth finish that gives you a whole new kitchen without the cost of a full remodel.
Your kitchen still works, but it’s starting to show its age. The cabinets look dated, maybe a little worn, and every quote you’ve gotten for a full remodel makes you wince.
Here’s the good news: you almost never need new cabinets to get a new kitchen. If the boxes are solid, professionally painted cabinets give you that fresh, modern look for a fraction of the cost, and without living in a construction zone for weeks.
The difference between cabinets that look brand new and ones that look like someone rolled paint over old doors comes down to how the work is done. We take your doors and drawers off and bring them back to our shop, where we clean, degrease, sand, and prime every surface before spraying them with a durable, premium-grade finish. Spraying is the whole point. It lays down glass-smooth, with no brush marks and no old wood grain showing through. Brushed cabinets almost always give themselves away. Ours look factory-made.
Our crews have refinished hundreds of cabinets, so we know how to prep the surfaces that give cheaper jobs trouble, and how to make a finish that holds up to everyday kitchen life. The result is a kitchen you’re proud of again, at a price that leaves room in the budget for everything else.

I would recommend Culver's Painting to anyone.Posted on Google Office GmailJune 10, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Culver's did a great job painting our business sign. They were professional, fairly priced and quick. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.Posted on Google Sharon BlumeJune 7, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Culver’s. A five star rating is genuinely earned. The sales team is extremely professional. Culver’s stands apart from others with detailed knowledge, excellent communication, timely follow up and on-time delivery of the service. The work crew arrived on-time. They were very courteous, which seems to be hard to find these days. They all knew their part of the painting prep and painting process. They cleaned up every day of the 4 day process (my home has many details, so it took time). They were meticulous in their painting— no spills, straight lines were straight, no mess on the window screens, downspouts were removed and painted and then reinstalled. The after service follow-up was timely, very professional, and wanted to ensure that I was happy with the service. You cannot go wrong in hiring Culver’s Painting.Posted on Google Kevin MullenJune 6, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Terrific experience with Culver painting!Posted on Google Sue and Con WeimerJune 4, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the second time I have had Culvers paint my house in a 8 year period. They are professional, prompt, excel at communication, have polite clean staff, do a good job and will return to make it right if I had concerns. Fair in price also. Win win.Posted on Google Katy MossJune 4, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Culver's painting for our exterior siding. We got a few quotes and theirs was the best one! They did a fantastic job and had their painters here early. They worked all day and never needed anything from us. It was an easy process and they did a fantastic job! Alex from Culver's was also great with communication and would let me know the night before what time his crew was showing up. He was very responsive whenever I had a question or concern. I would highly recommend!Posted on Google Kerry RickertJune 3, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent job starting with estimate, color consultation, and then painting. Very courteous and professional. The painters worked very hard and did a great job. Cleaned up and put things back in place afterwards. Would definitely recommend.Posted on Google SamJune 3, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great communication and customer service from bidding to completion, quiet, experienced and professional crew who did a really nice job refreshing our entire house and cleaning up every day. We gathered several bids and although Culver’s was not the cheapest, they were the most straightforward and comprehensive and didn’t deliver any surprise charges. Painting your home is a multi year investment and our money was well spent with them to achieve such a nice outcome. I would refer them without hesitation and use them again based on our experience.Posted on Google Linda PrenzlowMay 28, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience. Very professional. Excellent quality work. On time. Polite. Included color consultation was a nice feature. Cleaned up after themselves. Everything I expected and more. Will definitely use them again and have recommended them to friends.Posted on Google Julie PenmanMay 23, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The workers showed up on time, were professional and courteous. They cleaned up at the end of each day and were very neat. There were no paint splatters on my stucco or bricks. Overall they did an excellent job. I was impressed that they sent four painters and finished the entire job quite quickly. I would highly recommend Culver Painting.
Trim and doors take more abuse than any other surface in your home. Baseboards get kicked and scuffed, door frames collect handprints, and years of cleaning wear the finish thin. On older Milwaukee homes, the woodwork usually shows its age in other ways too: dark stained trim that makes rooms feel closed off, yellowed paint on the doors, chipped casing around the windows, and visible brush strokes left behind by a previous paint job that was rushed. Trim and doors are also the hardest surfaces in the house to paint well. They sit at eye level and catch direct light, so every drip, ridge, and missed spot stands out. Most quick or amateur jobs start to fail within a season, chipping along the edges that get touched the most.
This is where a professional cabinet painting process earns its keep. Your doors, interior and exterior, get the same treatment as our cabinets: we take them off the hinges, bring them back to our shop, and spray them for a finish that lays down smooth and even, with no brush marks and no roller texture.
Trim stays in place, so we prep and finish it on-site. We clean and degrease the wood, sand it so the new coat has something to grab, fill old nail holes, caulk the gaps that open up over the years, and prime with the right product to block stains and stop the old finish from bleeding through. Only then do we coat it with a durable enamel made for high-traffic surfaces.
The payoff is woodwork that looks new again and stands up to daily life. A sprayed finish on your doors and trim reads clean and current the way freshly painted woodwork should, and a quality enamel shrugs off the chips and scuffs that come with everyday use. Repainting your trim, doors, baseboards, and casing is one of the fastest and most affordable ways to modernize a room, especially in an older home where ripping out original molding would cost far more and strip away the character that makes the house worth keeping. We finish every project with quality Sherwin Williams paint, match the sheen to the rest of your home, and confirm the color with you before we start. Ask us to include your doors and trim when we quote your kitchen cabinets, and we’ll take care of all of it in one visit.
The clearest difference between our work and a weekend paint job is the finish itself. We spray your cabinets, doors, and trim in a controlled setup instead of brushing them, so the coat lays down smooth and even, with none of the brush strokes, ridges, or drips that show up under direct light.
The result is a kitchen that looks professionally finished, the kind of work that has people asking whether you replaced the cabinets.
A finish is only as good as what's underneath it. We clean, degrease, sand, fill, and prime every surface before the first coat, then use a durable, high-traffic enamel that stands up to hands, cleaning, and daily wear. The primer does most of the heavy lifting on doors, trim, and cabinets, which is why we match it to the surface instead of reaching for the same can every time.
So your finish still looks good years down the road, and you paint once instead of chasing chips and peeling edges every season.
Much of our work is in the area's older homes, where original doors and woodwork have character worth keeping. We know how to refinish stained or dated trim so it looks current without tearing it out, and on any home built before 1978 we handle the work lead-safe, checking for lead before we sand or scrape.
You get to keep the character that makes your home special, refreshed the way you want it and done safely for your family.

From the first coat of primer to the final spray, we treat every surface like it’s going in our own home. Reach out today and let’s talk about what a fresh coat of paint can do for your kitchen.
Cabinet painting typically runs a fraction of the cost of a full cabinet replacement or kitchen remodel. Since we're refinishing your existing cabinet boxes and doors instead of ripping them out, you get a modern, updated look without the cost of new cabinetry, new countertops, or a construction timeline stretching for weeks. It's why professional cabinet painting is one of the most cost-effective kitchen upgrades a homeowner can make.
Spraying applies paint in a fine, even mist that levels out as it dries, leaving a smooth, factory-like finish with no visible brush strokes or roller texture. Brushing or rolling cabinets, on the other hand, almost always leaves texture behind and can let the original wood grain show through the paint. That's why we remove doors and drawers and spray them in a controlled shop setting rather than painting them in place.
Yes. Priming is one of the most important steps in cabinet and trim painting, especially on stained or previously finished wood. A quality primer seals the surface, blocks stains and old finishes from bleeding through, and gives the paint something to grip so it doesn't chip or peel early. Skipping or rushing the primer is one of the most common reasons a cabinet or trim paint job fails within a year or two.
Yes. Many older homes in the Milwaukee area have layers of lead-based paint on their trim and doors. We're experienced in lead-safe painting practices and take extra precautions when sanding, scraping, or prepping surfaces in homes built before 1978, so your family stays safe while we refresh your woodwork.
Most kitchen cabinet painting projects take about one to two weeks from start to finish, depending on the size of your kitchen and the number of coats needed. Because we do the spraying off-site in our shop, your kitchen stays more usable throughout the process than it would during a full remodel.
