A Fresh, Factory-Quality Finish — Without the Cost of Full Replacement.
"*" indicates required fields
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.






Complete kitchen cabinet repaints that deliver a fresh, modern look without the renovation price tag.

Refresh vanity cabinets and bathroom built-ins with a clean, durable finish.

Going from oak to white, or dark to light? We handle full color changes with proper prep and priming.

We spray cabinets on-site for a flawless, factory-smooth finish you can't get with a brush or roller.

Individual doors and drawers painted to perfection — hinges removed, surfaces sanded, edges detailed.

Not sure what finish or color is right for your kitchen? We'll guide you through the options.
We remove all cabinet doors, hardware, and hinges. Countertops, appliances, and floors are fully covered and protected.
Surfaces are thoroughly degreased and sanded to ensure the best possible adhesion for primer and paint.
We apply a high-adhesion shellac primer that seals the surface, blocks stains, and creates the perfect base coat.
Every coat is lightly sanded before the next is applied — this is what separates a professional finish from a DIY result.
Two coats of Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane are sprayed on for a smooth, durable, and long-lasting finish.
Doors and hardware are reinstalled, everything is cleaned up, and we walk through the finished result with you before we leave.
