Is Refinishing Right For You?

With cabinet refinishing, you can get all the benefits of a new kitchen without having to revamp your existing cabinets or buy and install new ones.

Avoid Tearing Out a Layout You Love

If your cabinets already offer the storage space you need, refinishing them will give your kitchen the refresh it needs without changing the layout.



Add Value to Your Home

Home buyers and Realtors can tell if kitchen cabinets were repainted or re-stained as part of a DIY project. The professional repairs and prep work completed during the cabinet refinishing process is what adds value to your home.

Upgrade Without Overpaying

Kitchen cabinet replacement makes up the bulk of remodeling budgets. You can reduce your costs and still get the new look you want when you opt for cabinet refinishing.



Save Time

Remodels often follow a tight contractor timeline. Refinishing your cabinets instead of replacing them gives you more time for other renovation tasks, like flooring installation.

What Is Cabinet Refinishing?

Cabinet refinishing involves sanding or chemically stripping off the existing paint or stain, making minor repairs to the wood, and repainting or re-staining with the new color of your choice. 


Our expert team specializes in refinishing cabinets in coastal-style kitchens and other creative styles, and our commitment to excellence with preparation, sanding, and repair work is what sets our results apart.

Some confuse refinishing with refacing. Refacing is the process of removing and replacing just the cabinet doors or a few select parts of the cabinet framework. Refinishing involves keeping all the existing trims and moldings intact.

How Does the Kitchen Cabinet Refinishing Process Work?

Preparation

We cover appliances, counters, and other surfaces in your kitchen to protect them from any dust and debris that scatters during the refinishing process. Then, we’ll remove the cabinet doors and cover the inside surfaces, marking all doors to ensure they return to the right place.

Cleaning & Stripping

Our professionals will clean your cabinets and doors to make sure there is no grease or dirt left on the wood. This will help the new stain or paint adhere well. After the wood dries, we’ll strip off the old varnish and paint with either a fine-grit sandpaper or a mechanical sander. We'll take a close look at the wood to see if it needs any other care before priming to get the best results.

Priming, Painting & Staining

In this step, you’ll start catching glimpses of the final look! Our team will prime the wood to seal the surface so that when we paint or stain it, the lines will be smooth and clean. Then, we’ll apply a low-odor, high-quality paint or stain in the color of your choice.

Finishing

We’ll re-install your cabinets and hardware (or install new hardware), clean up, and let you and your family enjoy your refinished cabinets!

Why Cabinet Refinishing Over Refacing or Replacing?

Many homeowners and investors want to update their kitchens without having to demolish anything or pay for replacements. Our cabinet refinishing services help you do just that. 


Cabinet refinishing is: 


1.) Quick


Most refinishing projects are completed in a few days, depending on the scope of the job. Refacing and replacement projects can take a week or longer. 


2.) Cost-effective


Cabinet refinishing doesn’t require any new materials, so it’s known as the most affordable way to update your kitchen cabinets. 


3.) Comprehensive 


Cabinet refinishing is more than a paint job. We also perform repairs on the hinges and other hardware so that doors hang evenly and open smoothly—like brand-new doors. 


4.) Long-lasting


You won’t see any chipping or fading for years due to the care we put into the repairs, cleaning, and priming steps of the cabinet refinishing process.
