Highlands Ranch is part of our Denver Metro service area. Our crews and spray facility are based in Fort Collins, and we make the drive to refinish cabinets in homes across the metro. Most Highlands Ranch kitchens date to the late 1990s, solid builder-grade boxes with a finish that has simply aged out.
Highlands Ranch grew fast in the 1990s, and the cabinets grew with it. Builders leaned on oak and maple with heavy visible grain, in the honey and orange-toned finishes standard for that era. The boxes are usually well made. It’s the color and finish that reads as dated now.
Refinishing works on nearly all of it. The layout stays the same. The grain gets filled, the color gets updated, and the kitchen looks current again without a demolition.
Most cabinet companies that show up in a Highlands Ranch search aren’t actually based here. Neither are we, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Our shop and spray facility are in Fort Collins.
What we do have is a real shop, not a truck and a folding table. Every door gets pulled, sprayed in a real spray booth, and brought back, the same process whether the kitchen is around the corner from our shop or across the metro.
Where we work in and around Highlands Ranch
Cabinet Resurfacing updates the color and finish on your existing cabinets while keeping the style you have. Contractor-grade products, spray-booth technique, and repair of minor wear along the way. Cabinet Refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts with new, custom-made ones while keeping your existing cabinet boxes in place. The layout doesn’t change. The look does.
Cabinet resurfacing updates the color and finish of your existing cabinets while keeping their current style.
Using premium contractor-grade products and proven techniques, we restore and refresh your cabinetry for a durable, long-lasting finish.
This process also includes repairing minor damage caused by years of use, giving your cabinets a renewed look without the high cost of replacement.
Cabinet refacing replaces your cabinet doors and drawer fronts with new, custom-made designs while maintaining your existing cabinet boxes.
This allows you to completely transform the look and feel of your kitchen, without changing the footprint.
With contractor-grade materials and a factory-quality finish, refacing gives you the beauty of brand-new cabinetry at a fraction of the cost of a full remodel.
A typical Highlands Ranch kitchen runs around $9,000 with us. A painter will usually quote closer to $4,500. A full cabinet replacement runs around $35,000.
The painter’s number looks better until year four or five, when the finish starts to go and a repaint is due. Three repaint cycles over fifteen years puts that route around $13,500, for a shorter life than a sprayed finish. Ours is warrantied for ten years and typically lasts fifteen or more.
Your number depends on size, condition, and whether you resurface or reface. The in-home quote is free, with no obligation.

From start to finish, this was one of the best experiences we have had with a home project. The entire team was kind, professional, and so attentive to detail. Our kitchen now looks completely brand new, we honestly cannot believe the transformation! They went above and beyond, especially with the top of the cabinets, and the final result looks like it was always part of the original build.

A job well done! The finish is beautiful. The staff prepared me well for what to expect during the week that they worked. Jim the co-owner supervised the project and handled the finishing touches. Great attention to detail. Jen, the other co-owner, comes to the house to help with colors and other decisions and gives the final price which we felt was very fair.

Summit Cabinet Coatings is excellent at what they do, and we love the end result of our refacing project. They take care in their work, and were great at communicating with us, making sure we knew all of the steps in the project, that we understood the schedule, and that we had what we needed in making any design decisions.
