San Diego's Cabinet Painting & Refinishing Experts

Replacing kitchen cabinets can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Cabinet painting gives you the same dramatic transformation for a fraction of the price — and when it’s done right, the results are stunning. Rubio’s Painting specializes in professional cabinet refinishing for homeowners across Encinitas, Carlsbad, Rancho Santa Fe, La Jolla, and the greater San Diego area.

We don’t just slap on a coat of paint. Our process includes high-adhesion shellac primer, meticulous sanding between coats, and two finish coats of Sherwin Williams Emerald — one of the most durable cabinet paints on the market. The result is a smooth, factory-quality finish that looks and feels like brand new.

We can't be more pleased with the response and results from Rubio's Painting Services. I found Carlos on Facebook Marketplace; I filled out a form and Carlos responded almost instantly. His price was fair and his crew were neat, courteous and very quick. I highly recommend Rubio's Painting Services without hesitation!!!

Recently had Rubio's Painting Services paint the inside of my house including high ceilings. They did an excellent job, were very conscientious about my furnishing, cleaned up every day and my house looks brand new. They even repainted an accent wall to make it look as good as the white walls they had painted. Can't say enough about Carlos and his team. In addition, his pricing was very affordable.

Carlos was worth every penny! He communicated seamlessly with our contractor to start painting as soon as possible. We originally thought of painting the ceiling the same as our walls, but Carlos' recommendation was so much better! Everyone who comes to our home compliments the areas he and his team painted. He finished our home quickly and thoroughly, which is a rare combination to find. We will definitely refer him to our friends and family.

Carlos and his team were great to work with. They were able to get us on the schedule quickly for my daughters new place. They covered the floors and surfaces expertly and did an excellent job painting several rooms. No more Yellow Walls! We were very impressed and would hire them again!

Carlos and his team at Rubio’s Painting Services were great to work with. They got started quickly, were professional and easy to communicate with, and offered a very reasonable price. The built-in cabinet and bathroom turned out beautifully, and everything was finished right on schedule. Highly recommend them.

We hired Rubio’s Painting Services a couple weeks ago and they were very professional and timely. I would recommend them to anyone in need of their services as the quality, service, and care of their work is outstanding. They were able to provide us with a quote quickly and communicated with us through the entire process. I’ve attached a few pictures to show their exemplary work. I’m really impressed with the living room and the bedrooms.

We hired Rubios to paint the interior of our home. They were very professional and got the job done. They worked with our needs and paid attention to the little details. They came when they said they would and finished when they said they would. Rubios provided quality work and at reasonable prices. We would definitely work with them again and refer them to friends and family needing paint work done.

I recently hired Rubio’s Painting to paint our garage walls and ceiling, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. From start to finish, their service was outstanding.

Rubio Painting offered a price that was better than the market rate, which was a great start. Their prompt responses and fast service made the process smooth and hassle-free. The negotiation process was straightforward and transparent, with all details clearly outlined in the scope of work.

The painter was polite, professional, and kept us informed at every stage of the project. They completed the job within the promised timeframe, demonstrating both efficiency and dedication. The preparation and final finishing exceeded my expectations, showcasing their attention to detail and commitment to quality.

Overall, I highly recommend Rubio’s Painting for anyone looking for reliable, efficient, and high-quality painting services. Their professionalism and excellent work truly stand out.
