The Right Product for Your Cabinets
Every kitchen gets one of these four coatings. None of them is wall paint, and the difference shows up the first time someone scrubs a door.
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 Birch Bay
For a rental or cottage kitchen, refinishing at $3,000–$8,000 against $20,000+ replacement is mostly a question of downtime: a week of spraying versus a remodel season of lost bookings.
Sprayed catalyzed enamel also scrubs clean between guests, which brushed paint never does for long.
How the Factory Look Happens
Off come the doors, and off to the shop they go. Racked and sprayed in clean, temperature-controlled air, they cure flat and hard before they ever see your kitchen again.
On frame days your kitchen disappears behind masking film, gets sprayed, and reappears clean. Matched product on frames and doors means one uniform surface throughout.
Made for the Way Kitchens Get Used
Daily wear is the test that matters. The systems we spray keep curing for weeks after application and end up hard enough that a scouring pad won't leave its mark.
We'll walk you through the cure schedule at handoff — a few gentle weeks, then business as usual. The care card stays on the fridge; most clients never need to read it twice.
Picking a Color You Won't Regret
Direct salt spray off Birch Bay gives Birch Bay 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.
Ask what everyone picks: warm white perimeters, a sage or deep blue island, satin sheen. Then test it — we spray real sample doors you can prop against your own backsplash.

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."
"Hilltop was outstanding to work with - Daniel was incredibly responsive, they did our interior walls and kitchen cabinet painting project on time (actually it was done early) and on budget, the quality of the work was excellent, and the places where we had requests for little fixes were taken care of literally the next day."
"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!"

From Say-wak to Summer Cottages: A Short History of Birch Bay
The people who lived here first called the place Say-wak, meaning people saved from a flood by building a raft. One of the largest archaeological sites in the area sits inside Birch Bay State Park.
Spanish ships out of Mexico charted the bay in 1791 and called it Puerto del Garzon. A year later George Vancouver's expedition anchored here for several days, and the botanist Archibald Menzies renamed it Birch Bay for the birch trees along the shore.
For most of the 1900s Birch Bay was a summer place of cottages and cabins. The 2000s brought condominiums and vacation homes for buyers on both sides of the border, and the population roughly doubled between 2000 and 2020, to 10,115. That makes it bigger than every city in the county except three, which is why incorporation keeps coming up.
Cottage kitchens tend to be small and painted, newer ones oak or maple. Either way we spray the doors off-site and hand-finish the boxes, and we can work around a rental calendar.
