Sound like your kitchen?
The cabinets work. You just don’t love them.
Maybe it’s orange oak from 1995. Maybe a new countertop went in and suddenly nothing matches. Or you just bought the house and have always wanted a white kitchen.
Ripping out solid cabinets feels wasteful, and new ones cost $10,000 to $50,000 plus weeks without a kitchen. Painting them yourself means months of weekends, and brush marks you’ll see every time you make coffee.

We recently had my kitchen updated by Funcycled. The design and quality of their work was far beyond my expectations. The timeliness and communication with the team was greatly appreciated.
Annemarie · Wynantskill
The whole project, once started, only took a few days, and a year later, we still feel like we have a brand new kitchen.

Questions people ask
Is it sprayed or brushed?
Your doors and drawers are sprayed in our shop with a professional sprayer, so the parts you see most have a smooth, even finish. The cabinet boxes are painted by hand in your home with professional cabinet paint.
Will it chip, and how long does it last?
We use a durable water-based lacquer made for cabinets, and it lasts 7 to 10 years or more with normal use. Give it 30 days to fully cure. Like any painted surface, it can chip with hard wear, and we offer touch-ups if you ever need them.
How much will my kitchen cost?
Most kitchens cost $3,500 to $7,000, with a $3,500 minimum. Your free quote is itemized, so you know the full price before you put down a deposit.
How long will it take?
Most kitchens take 1 to 2 weeks from start to finish, with about 3 to 4 days of work in your home.
Will the oak grain show?
On oak, some of the wood grain can still show through the paint. If you want a completely smooth look, ask about new doors and drawer fronts.
Do you paint the inside of the cabinets?
No, we paint the outside of your cabinets. The one exception is cabinets with glass doors, where the inside shows.
Can you stain my cabinets a lighter wood color?
We don’t refinish or stain cabinets. Painting gives you any color you like with a durable, even finish.
Where do you work?
Within about an hour of Albany, including Albany, Troy, Saratoga Springs, Clifton Park, Latham, Schenectady, Delmar and Hudson.
John’s crew paints about one kitchen a week, so start dates fill up. Getting your free quote costs nothing and holds you to nothing, and it tells you exactly where you stand.
