The Right Product for Your Cabinets
Cabinet coatings are their own category — harder, smoother, and fussier to apply than anything that goes on a wall. Here's what we spray and when.
Catalyzed Urethane Enamel
When a kitchen sees hard daily use, we spray this. The two parts cross-link as they cure, so the finish ends up closer to a factory shell than to paint.
Refinishing vs. Replacing in Blaine
Blaine kitchen refinishes run $3,000–$8,000. Replacement starts around $20,000, takes far longer, and swaps coastal-seasoned boxes that have already proven themselves for new ones that haven't.
If the boxes are sound, we spray a moisture-tolerant system and the kitchen is back in service 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.
The frames get masked and sprayed where they stand. Reassembled, the kitchen reads as one factory-finished piece — no brush marks anywhere, no seams in the sheen.
Made for the Way Kitchens Get Used
Kitchens are hostile territory for paint — steam, knocks, degreaser, repeat. That's why the products we spray are cabinet-specific coatings that cure well beyond wall-paint hardness.
The coating reaches full hardness two to three weeks after we leave. Treat it gently until then; after that, normal cleaning is all it asks. The care card on your counter covers the rest.
What Holds Up in Our Gray Light
Salt air off Drayton Harbor gives Blaine 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.
Warm whites, muted sages, and navy-adjacent blues carry most of the kitchens we do, nearly always in satin. Sample doors in your actual kitchen settle the shortlist fast.

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 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.

Canneries, Mills, and the Peace Arch: A Short History of Blaine
Drayton Harbor was Semiahmoo country, and the Semiahmoo people are part of the ancestry of today's Lummi Nation. Settlers came in the mid 1800s to log, fish, and outfit prospectors heading north to the Fraser gold fields.
The Alaska Packers Association built a cannery on Semiahmoo Spit in 1880, on the site of a village it had cleared, and for decades ran the largest salmon cannery in the world there. Blaine incorporated on May 20, 1890 and took its name from James G. Blaine, the Maine senator and 1884 presidential candidate. The Cain brothers built the biggest store north of Seattle, a shingle mill, a hotel, and the first public wharf, and Blaine lumber helped rebuild San Francisco after the 1906 fire.
The Peace Arch went up on the border in 1921, and the fishing fleet kept the harbor busy into the 1970s, with hundreds of purse seiners and gillnetters working north to Alaska. Today the two marinas hold sailboats and yachts, the old cannery site is a resort, and downtown keeps its turn-of-the-century look on purpose.
Blaine kitchens run from painted originals in the hillside houses to oak from the 80s and 90s. Both paint well with the right primer, and both get their doors sprayed off-site.
