Professional Cabinet Refinishing, Built Around Proper Prep

If you like the layout of your kitchen and your cabinets are in good condition, professional refinishing can dramatically change the room without tearing everything out. The difference is in the preparation and finish—not simply putting another coat of paint on the cabinets.

Quality Over Shortcuts

Not Just Painted Cabinets. A Properly Prepared Finish.

Cabinet refinishing is only as good as the preparation underneath it. Each project is approached with careful cleaning and degreasing, surface preparation, sanding, appropriate priming, and a professionally sprayed finish.

I don’t build estimates around being the cheapest option. I build them around doing the job correctly and delivering a finished kitchen I’m proud to put the Carlton name on.

The Person Behind the Work

My Name Is On Every Job.

I’m Mike Carlton, owner of Carlton Custom Painting.

With more than 20 years of painting, drywall and finishing experience, I’ve built my approach around proper preparation, attention to detail, and doing work I’m proud to put my name behind. Carlton Custom Painting was established in 2017.

I’m a husband, a dad, and the craftsman you’ll work with directly—from the initial estimate through completion. You’re not being passed from a salesperson to an unknown crew. My name is on the company, and my name is on every job.

Today my primary focus is professional cabinet refinishing and detailed finish work, while continuing to provide quality interior and exterior painting services.
