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
Two-part chemistry, sprayed. The components react as they cure and the result out-wears any single-part paint we've tested — which is why busy households get this by default.
Refinishing vs. Replacing in Ferndale
Builder-grade oak in Ferndale's newer developments is the classic refinish story: $3,000–$8,000 sprayed against $20,000+ replaced, for boxes that are usually in fine shape.
White or cream enamel over that oak reads as a brand-new kitchen in about a week.
Why Sprayed Beats Brushed
Doors and drawer fronts come off and travel to our spray shop, where humidity, dust, and temperature behave. That control is most of what separates a factory look from a garage job.
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
Chips, moisture, scrubbing: a kitchen finish takes all three daily, so we spray coatings engineered for exactly that — catalyzed enamels that cure into a hard, cleanable shell.
Give the finish its 2–3 week cure and it'll give you years. We'll leave you a one-page care card — the short version: mild soap, soft cloth, and don't baby it after the first month.
What Holds Up in Our Gray Light
Choosing cabinet color in Ferndale means reckoning with wind off the flats and moisture from the river. We brush samples onto your actual doors so the shortlist competes in the light it will live in.
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
"Good teamwork-great results. Hope to get them back for another project."
"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. I am very happy with this job. Daniel was prompt to respond to my requests and questions and very good about communication every day."

The Town Named for Its Ferns: A Short History of Ferndale
The Lummi had a settlement on the prairie along the east bank of the Nooksack long before anyone else arrived, and the Lummi Nation still borders the city today. Early settlers called this stretch of river the lower crossing, to tell it apart from the main crossing upstream at Everson.
Billy Clark, a Texan who came north during the gold rush, was the first full-time settler, and the town dates its start to 1872. It was called Jam at first, for the log jam in the river beside it, until the first schoolteacher decided the ferns growing around the schoolhouse made a better name. Ferndale incorporated on March 19, 1907.
For most of the next century it stayed a farm and river town. That changed in the last few decades: with 15,048 people at the 2020 census it is now the third largest city in Whatcom County, and the new neighborhoods off Thornton Road are some of the fastest-growing streets we paint.
Ferndale kitchens are heavy on 1990s and 2000s oak and maple. Both take paint well with the right bonding primer, and we spray the doors off-site so the finish looks factory-made.
