Kitchen cabinets are the centerpiece of any Savannah home's kitchen, and replacing them can cost $15,000 to $30,000 or more. Cabinet painting gives you a brand-new look at a fraction of that cost. Global Painting has refinished kitchens across Savannah -- from the dark oak cabinets common in 1990s-era homes in the Southside to the dated honey maple in Wilmington Island ranches. Our spray-finish process delivers a smooth, factory-quality result that you simply cannot achieve with a brush. If your cabinets are structurally solid but visually outdated, painting is the smartest renovation dollar you can spend.
Every project in Savannah follows our proven 7-step process for consistent, high-quality results.

Savannah is a fast-growing metro of over 400,000 residents across Chatham County. Here is what matters for cabinet painting in this area.
Savannah kitchens face a unique challenge: humidity. Standard latex wall paint on cabinets will stay tacky in high humidity and peel where moisture collects -- especially near the sink and dishwasher. That is why we use hybrid alkyd enamel (like Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane or Benjamin Moore Advance) that cures to a hard, moisture-resistant shell. We have seen plenty of DIY cabinet jobs in Savannah where the homeowner used the wrong product and the doors stuck together within weeks. Proper product selection and a clear topcoat make the difference between cabinets that look great for a year and cabinets that look great for a decade.
Savannah's subtropical humidity -- with annual rainfall over 50 inches -- demands moisture-resistant primers and 100% acrylic paints that flex with seasonal expansion.
