Your Kitchen Doesn't Need a Remodel. It Needs the Right Finish.
Camellia Painting Company paints and refinishes kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities for homeowners in Summerville and across the greater Charleston area, and owner Chris Richards personally oversees every project. Most Summerville-area homes were built in the 1980s, ’90s and 2000s, which means plenty of solid, well-built kitchens with cabinets that just look dated. Full replacement is expensive and disruptive. A quality repaint or refinish gets you the same fresh, modern look for a fraction of the cost. That’s why more homeowners are choosing to update in place rather than sell or gut the kitchen.
We paint cabinet boxes on-site and finish doors and drawers in a controlled shop environment — the same separation professional cabinet shops use to get a smooth, factory-quality result that's hard to achieve painting everything in place.
Two Ways to Refresh Your Cabinets: Painting vs. Refinishing.
Not every kitchen needs the same approach. Here’s how our two options differ.

Doors and drawers removed and finished off-site; boxes painted in place
Hardware removed and reinstalled
3-Year Workmanship Guarantee
Cabinet Refinishing (Renner 2K / Milesi 2K)
For homeowners who want our most durable, industrial-grade finish available – the same coating systems used in commercial cabinetry.
Applied using a specialized catalyzed 2K (two-part) coating system.
Built for maximum durability against daily handling, moisture, and wear
Custom quoted based on your project

What Summerville Homeowners Are Saying
Larry Olsen
Camellia Painting painted our master bathroom vanity and did an amazing job. The work is excellent, right on time, and they were respectful.
I will not hesitate to use them again.
Coryn James
Chris did such a great job on our kitchen! Our cabinets look brand new. He ended up turning our cabinets from an old wood to a beautiful sage. Prices were awesome for such high quality paints used too. Highly recommend!
Rachael Dailey
I’ve hired Chris to paint for me a couple of times and he’s professional, does an excellent job, is timely and responsive! He’s also painted my parents’ entire house and it looks so beautiful. I highly recommend!

Cabinet Painting & Refinishing FAQs.
Is it worth it to have kitchen cabinets professionally painted?
If your cabinet boxes are solid, the layout works for you, and the cabinets just look dated, yes. Full replacement is expensive and disruptive. A quality repaint or refinish gets you the same fresh, modern look for a fraction of the cost, backed by our 3-Year Workmanship Guarantee. Painting won’t change your layout or fix damaged cabinets, which is why we assess your cabinets before recommending standard painting or refinishing.
What's the difference between cabinet painting and cabinet refinishing?
Painters use these terms differently, so here’s what they mean at Camellia. Cabinet painting uses cabinet-grade paint to give your cabinets a fresh, durable new color, and it’s a great option for most kitchens and baths. Cabinet refinishing uses an industrial 2K coating system from Renner or Milesi, the same type of finish used in commercial cabinetry. 2K means a two-part coating: the finish is mixed with a hardener before it’s applied. It’s our most durable option.
Is it cheaper to paint or refinish cabinets?
With us, painting. Standard cabinet painting with cabinet-grade paints (Sherwin-Williams Gallery Series™ and Gemini EVO®) is our more affordable option. Cabinet refinishing uses a Renner or Milesi 2K system built for maximum durability against daily handling, moisture, and wear, and it’s custom quoted based on your project. Both include our 3-Year Workmanship Guarantee.
Can you help me choose a cabinet color?
Yes. Our in-house designer can help you choose cabinet colors that work with the rest of your home.
Do you paint the cabinets in place or take them off-site?
Doors and drawers are removed and finished in a controlled off-site setting for the smoothest possible result. Cabinet boxes are cleaned, prepped, and painted in place.
Do you remove and reinstall hardware?
Yes, hardware removal and reinstallation is included as standard. If you're converting from knobs to handles (or handles to knobs), that requires new hardware and carries an additional charge.
What paint and coating brands do you use?
For standard cabinet painting, we use Sherwin-Williams Gallery Series™ and Gemini EVO®, cabinet-grade paints built to hold up under daily use. For cabinet refinishing, we use Renner or Milesi 2K coating systems, the same industrial-grade materials used in commercial cabinetry.
What are the downsides of painting kitchen cabinets?
Your kitchen is disrupted while the work is underway, a new finish needs time to fully cure, and a painted finish is only as durable as the prep and coating behind it. Done poorly, paint can peel or chip at high-touch spots. That’s why we use cabinet-grade paints, finish doors and drawers off-site, and offer 2K refinishing for homeowners who want our most durable finish. Peeling, bubbling, or flaking caused by application is covered by our 3-Year Workmanship Guarantee.
What does the 3-Year Guarantee cover?
Peeling, bubbling, or flaking caused by application, on both standard cabinet painting and refinishing projects. If you notice a problem, contact us within 30 days and we'll come back out.
