Remodeling a kitchen or bathroom is one of the best ways to add value to a home, but replacing cabinets can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Homeowners across Alaska are discovering a smarter, greener, and more affordable option: cabinet painting instead of replacing.
As Anchorage’s trusted painting specialists, JNL Painting delivers factory-smooth cabinet finishes that transform kitchens and bathrooms without the cost and hassle of a full remodel.
Why Anchorage Homeowners Choose Cabinet Painting
Significant Cost Savings
Full cabinet replacement often ranges from $12,000 to $30,000 for a standard kitchen.
JNL Painting’s professional cabinet painting services typically cost 60–70% less, leaving room in your budget for new countertops, lighting, or appliances.
Fast Turnaround, Minimal Disruption
Anchorage families don’t want to live through weeks of construction. JNL Painting can complete most cabinet painting projects in 3–5 days, so you can get back to normal life quickly.
Eco-Friendly Remodeling
Painting keeps perfectly good wood out of landfills and reduces the demand for new lumber. Pair that with low-VOC paints, and you have an upgrade that’s as kind to the environment as it is to your wallet.

From crisp, modern whites to deep navy, emerald green, or sleek charcoal, JNL Painting offers endless color choices and custom finishes to match any interior style.
