The Right Product for Your Cabinets
This is not wall paint on doors. Pick a system — each one is a professional cabinet coating we spray, and each suits a different kitchen and budget.
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 Semiahmoo
Semiahmoo kitchens refinish for $3,000–$8,000 with furniture-grade sprayed enamel; replacement starts near $20,000 before the upgrades begin. The finish quality is the same conversation as the rest of the home: it has to be flawless.
That's what catalyzed enamel sprayed by a careful crew delivers, in about a week.
How the Factory Look Happens
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.
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.
Durability in a Busy Kitchen
We plan for the worst kitchen day, not the best. Sprayed cabinet enamels take the chips, moisture, and scrubbing that would strip an ordinary painted surface.
Fresh enamel is firm in days and fully cured in a few weeks. Respect that window and the finish repays it for years — our care card spells out the little that maintenance requires.
Choosing Color for Northwest Kitchens
The county's most exposed salt air, right on the spit gives Semiahmoo 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.
The winners here tend to be warm whites, soft sages, and deep blues, in satin. We spray sample doors in your top picks so you can live with them in your own light before committing.

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. I am very happy with this job. Daniel was prompt to respond to my requests and questions and very good about communication every day."
"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."

Cannery to Resort: A Short History of Semiahmoo
The spit between Drayton Harbor and Semiahmoo Bay was a Lummi village and burial ground for thousands of years; the shell middens still show along the shore. Semiahmoo is a Salish word for half moon, after the crescent of land the resort now sits on.
Prospectors set up a trading post on the spit in 1858 as a launching point for the Fraser gold fields, and someone drew up plans for a Semiahmoo City that never quite came. Fishing did. The Alaska Packers Association opened Whatcom County's first salmon cannery here in 1881 and by 1891 ran the largest in the world. Canning was the main business on the spit until 1980.
Semiahmoo Resort opened in 1987 with an Arnold Palmer golf course, closed in 2012, and reopened under new owners in 2013. In 2004 the Lummi Nation won compensation and title to two acres on the spit after a contractor disturbed the burial ground, a reminder of whose place this was first.
Semiahmoo kitchens are mostly 90s and 2000s oak, maple, and cherry. All of them paint beautifully with a bonding primer and off-site sprayed doors.
