DURABLE, BEAUTIFUL KITCHEN FINISHES FOR SAN DIEGO HOMES
KITCHEN PAINTING IN SAN DIEGO, CA

Expert Kitchen Painting in San Diego County
The kitchen is the heart of your home—a space where families gather, meals are prepared, and memories are made. Kitchen painting requires specialized expertise due to the unique challenges of this high-traffic, high-moisture environment. At Franklin Custom Finish, we use durable, washable finishes specifically designed for kitchen applications that stand up to grease, steam, and daily cleaning.
Our kitchen painting process begins with thorough surface preparation, including degreasing areas near cooking surfaces using TSP or specialized cleaners to remove cooking residue. We properly prime all surfaces, especially areas that have absorbed grease over the years, ensuring the new paint adheres properly and creates a lasting finish that won't peel or yellow.
Kitchen painting presents unique challenges—working around appliances, coordinating with backsplash tiles, and ensuring proper ventilation during application. We use low-VOC paints for food safety and quick return to cooking, apply semi-gloss and satin finishes on walls, and ensure freshly painted trim and baseboards create seamless color flow into adjacent dining and living areas.
Many homeowners pair our kitchen wall painting with kitchen cabinet refinishing for a complete kitchen transformation without the cost of a full remodel. We also offer bathroom painting so you can update multiple rooms at once. Serving Lakeside, Santee, El Cajon, Alpine, Poway, and La Mesa.
