What we do

Why homeowners choose OCD

• The owner does the work. Alicia has painted furniture and cabinetry for over 30 years and has run OCD since 2008. No rotating crews.
• A real spray finish. Doors and drawer fronts are sprayed off-site in a controlled shop, so there are no brush marks, no dust nibs and no drips.
• Prep that lasts. Degreasing, scuff sanding, grain fill on oak, bonding primer, then two coats of professional cabinet enamel. That is why our finishes don’t chip at the edges after a year.
• Honest pricing. A typical kitchen costs a third to a fifth of new cabinets. See our cabinet painting cost guide.
• Local. Based in Monroe, working every week in Union County and south Charlotte.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to paint kitchen cabinets in the Charlotte area?

Most kitchens in Union County and south Charlotte fall between $3,500 and $8,500 depending on the number of doors and drawers, cabinet material, and whether an island or colour change is involved. Bathroom vanities start around $600. See our cost guide or call for a free estimate.

Do you spray or brush?

We spray. Doors and drawer fronts are sprayed in our shop; frames are sprayed on site after full masking. The result is a smooth, factory-style finish with no brush marks.

Can you paint oak or thermofoil cabinets?

Yes. Oak is grain-filled so the finish is smooth. Thermofoil and laminate need a specific bonding primer, which we use. We’ll tell you honestly if cabinets are not good candidates.

How long does painted cabinetry last?

With proper prep and professional cabinet enamel, 10+ years with normal care. We’ll show you how to clean them.
