The Right Product for Your Cabinets
We get asked what we spray more than anything else. The honest answer: it depends on the kitchen. These four systems are the ones we trust.
Catalyzed Urethane Enamel
This is the durable pick. A catalyzed two-part system that keeps hardening after application; the cured film handles moisture, knocks, and scouring pads without complaint.
Refinishing vs. Replacing in Anacortes
An Anacortes kitchen refinish runs $3,000–$8,000; replacement starts near $20,000 and climbs. Old Town galley kitchens are quick, efficient spray jobs, while big open plans on the heights use more of the range.
Either way you keep your layout, skip the demolition, and get a factory-smooth finish in about a week.
Why Sprayed Beats Brushed
Every door and drawer front leaves the kitchen and gets sprayed under controlled conditions at our shop — dust managed, temperature steady, coats laid flat by the spray gun.
We mask the room down to the outlet screws, spray the frames, and pull the plastic the same day. The frame finish meets the door finish without a visible difference.
Durability in a Busy Kitchen
A cabinet finish lives a rough life: banged by pans, wiped hourly, steamed nightly. We spec coatings built for that duty cycle, not decorative paint asked to survive it.
Cure time is the only fine print: two or three weeks to full hardness. After that it's soap, water, and forgetting the kitchen was ever refinished.
What Holds Up in Our Gray Light
Salt off two channels and steady ferry wind gives Anacortes kitchens cool, shifting light that changes how whites and neutrals read. We brush out samples on your actual doors so you choose colors in your kitchen's real light.
Color trends come and go, but warm whites and grounded blues and greens keep winning in Northwest kitchens. Satin sheen, sample doors first, no guessing.

What Our Customers Say
"Hilltop Painting provided expert ideas about our kitchen cabinet restoration and paint colors! They also painted our interior walls and baseboards. The team worked hard and efficiently. It was really nice that they asked us several times if we were satisfied with their work."
"I just want to say that this experience was wonderful. … I love the look of my new cabinets painted at my Bellingham house. Thank you so much for helping me out!"
"Hilltop painting did an amazing job on my very large(whole wall) bookcase. It was a huge endeavor with many shelves and drawers and with many sandings, primer coats and top coats.

The New York of the West That Wasn't: A Short History of Anacortes
Fidalgo Island was Samish and Swinomish country, and the Samish Indian Nation still keeps its offices in Anacortes. The island is named for Salvador Fidalgo, the Spanish explorer who charted it in 1790.
Amos Bowman moved his family to the north tip of the island in 1877 and named the town for his wife, Anne Curtis Bowman. He promoted it as the obvious Pacific terminus of the Northern Pacific, the New York of the West, and started a newspaper to say so. Rail rumors set off a land boom from 1888 to 1890, the Oregon Improvement Company posted $15 million in bonds, and the town incorporated on May 19, 1891, the same year the bubble burst.
The railroad went elsewhere, and Anacortes turned to what the water offered: fishing, salmon canneries, and timber mills. Today the ferries to the San Juans and Guemes Island leave from here, and the 2020 census counted 17,637 people.
Anacortes kitchens run from painted originals in the old grid to 90s oak and newer maple in the hill homes. All paint well with a bonding primer and off-site sprayed doors.
