# About Us > Locally owned cabinet painting specialists serving Thornton, CO and the north Denver metro. Canonical page: https://cabinetpainters.org/about/ #### Your Thornton neighbors # Cabinet specialists, not general painters We do one thing and do it exceptionally well: transform tired cabinets into finishes you'd expect from a brand-new kitchen. We're not a franchise, and we're not an out-of-state operation with a local phone number. We grew up in Thornton: same schools, same parks, same King Soopers runs. We started Cabinet Painters because our neighbors deserved an easier way to get a brand-new-looking kitchen without the replacement price tag. One local name to call, a clear quote, and a finish that looks factory-done. Every kitchen we take on belongs to someone we might bump into at the next backyard barbecue, which is exactly why it has to be done right. ![A refinished kitchen by our team](https://cabinetpainters.org/_astro/kitchen-gray-walnut.D9JtYKRL_Z1dEGqo.webp) Thornton Proudly based, CO 1 wk Typical turnaround $0 Estimates, always free 100% Satisfaction focus #### What we stand for ## How we work ### Finish obsessed The standard on every project is a smooth, factory-grade finish with no brush marks or drips. ### Respect for your home We protect your home and tidy up every day.

That one fact explains most of this report: the styles trending here are the styles that transform oak. Median home built 1997 Typical home value $499k Most-searched style Warm whites [Read the full Thornton kitchen report](https://cabinetpainters.org/reports/thornton/) ### Northglenn 3 miles from Thornton Northglenn is one of the north metro's original planned suburbs, with a core built in the 60s and 70s and updates layered on since. That mix means everything from vintage plywood boxes to 90s oak, and nearly all of it is a strong painting candidate. Median home built 1974 Typical home value $459k Most-searched style Warm whites [Read the full Northglenn kitchen report](https://cabinetpainters.org/reports/northglenn/) ### Westminster 5 miles from Thornton Westminster spans half a century of building, from 60s ranches near the old core to the big 90s wave around Legacy Ridge. The 90s stock dominates what we see: solid oak doors in kitchens ready for a color this decade actually wants. Median home built 1987 Typical home value $521k Most-searched style Warm whites [Read the full Westminster kitchen report](https://cabinetpainters.org/reports/westminster/) ### Broomfield 7 miles from Thornton Broomfield's kitchens mostly date from the 80s through the 2000s, with newer Anthem-era builds on the north side. The older half is classic oak territory; the newer half already has paint-grade doors waiting for a better color. Median home built 2002 Typical home value $627k Most-searched style Warm whites [Read the full Broomfield kitchen report](https://cabinetpainters.org/reports/broomfield/) ### Brighton 12 miles from Thornton Brighton grew fastest in the 90s and 2000s, so its kitchens skew toward builder-grade oak and early paint-grade doors. Both paint beautifully, and both are why repaint interest here tracks right with the metro. Median home built 1999 Typical home value $497k Most-searched style Warm whites [Read the full Brighton kitchen report](https://cabinetpainters.org/reports/brighton/) ### Erie 12 miles from Thornton Erie is the newest housing stock on this list, dominated by 2000s-and-later builds. That means less golden oak and more paint-grade shaker and MDF already in place, so the conversation here is less about rescuing dated wood and more about choosing a braver color than the builder did. Median home built 2008 Typical home value $725k Most-searched style Warm whites [Read the full Erie kitchen report](https://cabinetpainters.org/reports/erie/) ### Lafayette 11 miles from Thornton Lafayette mixes Old Town charm with 70s-90s neighborhoods, which puts a wide range of cabinet eras behind its front doors. Oak-era kitchens lead, with a meaningful share of older originals where paint is the practical way to keep character. Median home built 1994 Typical home value $672k Most-searched style Warm whites [Read the full Lafayette kitchen report](https://cabinetpainters.org/reports/lafayette/) ### Boulder 18 miles from Thornton Boulder's housing stock runs older: 50s-70s ranches and decades of remodels since. Cabinet eras vary house to house, refinishing interest runs unusually strong here, and the reuse-over-replace instinct fits the city. Median home built 1977 Typical home value $956k Most-searched style Warm whites [Read the full Boulder kitchen report](https://cabinetpainters.org/reports/boulder/) ### Longmont 22 miles from Thornton Longmont pairs an older core with ring after ring of 90s-and-later growth, so oak-era kitchens dominate the middle of the market. Demand here is strong and, unusually for the area, its hiring-related searches are competitive, a sign more companies court Longmont than its neighbors. Median home built 1991 Typical home value $552k Most-searched style Warm whites [Read the full Longmont kitchen report](https://cabinetpainters.org/reports/longmont/) ### Commerce City 7 miles from Thornton Commerce City splits in two: the established core with mid-century and oak-era kitchens, and the Reunion-era north side built after 2000. The core drives the transformation work; the newer half mirrors Erie's choose-a-better-color pattern. Median home built 2005 Typical home value $488k Most-searched style Warm whites [Read the full Commerce City kitchen report](https://cabinetpainters.org/reports/commerce-city/) ### Federal Heights 2 miles from Thornton Federal Heights is compact, with most homes dating from the 60s through the 80s. Kitchens here are the area's most original, and painting is the budget-realistic way a 40-year-old kitchen gets a real refresh. Median home built 1989 Typical home value $392k Most-searched style Warm whites [Read the full Federal Heights kitchen report](https://cabinetpainters.org/reports/federal-heights/) ### Henderson 7 miles from Thornton Henderson's subdivisions mostly went up in the 90s and 2000s, prime golden-oak years. It's a small area, so treat its numbers as directional, but the kitchens behind them are exactly the oak-era stock paint transforms best. Median home built 1990s–2000s Typical home value — Most-searched style Warm whites [Read the full Henderson kitchen report](https://cabinetpainters.org/reports/henderson/) ### Denver 9 miles from Thornton Denver is every era at once: 1910s bungalows, mid-century ranches, 90s suburbs at the edges, and new builds downtown. No single cabinet story covers it, which is exactly why its search interest dwarfs every suburb on this list, at roughly five times the typical city we track.
