What We Refinish

Kitchen Cabinet Refinishing Without a Full Replacement

If your cabinet boxes are still solid but the color, finish, or style feels outdated, cabinet refinishing can give your kitchen a fresh new look with far less disruption than replacing everything.

Cabinet Doors & Drawer Fronts

Doors and drawer fronts are cleaned, removed, labeled, prepped, and refinished for a smoother, more consistent result.

Cabinet Boxes & Frames

Visible cabinet boxes, face frames, side panels, and exposed surfaces are prepared and coated to match the new finish.

Kitchen Color Updates

Refresh dated oak, dark stains, worn finishes, or older colors with a cleaner, brighter, more modern cabinet look.

Hardware Refreshes

Cabinet refinishing pairs well with updated handles, knobs, hinges, and small upgrades that complete the transformation.

Surface Prep & Repairs

Prep may include degreasing, sanding, filling small imperfections, priming, and preparing surfaces for cabinet-grade coatings.

Modern Painted Finishes

Professional cabinet repainting creates a clean, updated finish designed for kitchens, daily use, and long-term durability.

Our Cabinet Refinishing Process

Careful Prep, Smooth Coatings, and a Kitchen That Feels New

Cabinet refinishing is not the same as wall painting. Kitchens need proper cleaning, bonding, sanding, priming, and cabinet-grade coatings designed for daily use.

1. Kitchen Review

We review your cabinet condition, layout, finish goals, hardware, color direction, and project expectations before work begins.

2. Removal & Protection

Doors and drawer fronts are removed and labeled while surrounding kitchen surfaces are protected from dust, overspray, and mess.

3. Degrease, Sand & Prime

Cabinets are cleaned, deglossed, sanded, repaired, and primed so the finish can bond properly and hold up over time.

4. Finish & Reinstall

Cabinet-grade coatings are applied, cured, and reinstalled with care so your kitchen looks cleaner, brighter, and more updated.

Why Refinish Instead of Replace?

Transform Your Kitchen Without a Full Cabinet Replacement

Many homeowners are surprised by how dramatically cabinet refinishing can change a kitchen. If your cabinet layout works and the cabinet boxes are still in good condition, refinishing often provides the updated appearance homeowners want without the cost, demolition, and disruption of replacing cabinets.

  • Modernize outdated cabinet colors and finishes
  • Refresh oak, maple, painted, or previously finished cabinets
  • Avoid the cost of complete cabinet replacement
  • Keep existing cabinet layouts that already function well
  • Pair beautifully with new countertops, backsplashes, and hardware
  • Create a brighter, cleaner, more updated kitchen appearance

Is Refinishing Right for You?

Signs Your Cabinets Are Good Candidates for Refinishing

Cabinet refinishing works best when the cabinet structure is still solid, but the style, color, or finish needs an upgrade.

Solid Cabinet Boxes

If the cabinet frames are sturdy and not water-damaged, refinishing can refresh the look without tearing everything out.

Good Kitchen Layout

If you like your current layout, refinishing lets you keep the same function while updating the appearance.

Outdated Wood Tones

Older oak, cherry, maple, or dark stained cabinets can often be transformed with a modern painted finish.

Worn or Faded Finish

Cabinets with dull color, surface wear, minor chips, or aged finishes may look dramatically better after proper prep and coating.

Doors Still Align Well

Cabinets that open, close, and align properly are usually stronger candidates for refinishing than replacement.

You Want Less Disruption

Refinishing avoids the demolition, disposal, extended timeline, and layout disruption of a full cabinet replacement.

Extremely satisfied with the work that Joe and his crew did at our house. We had our cabinets painted all the trim and hallway done.

Kevin Moll
I can't say enough good things about Joe and his team. From start to finish, the communication was great. They went above and beyond what was originally quoted to make sure the project was done right. They painted our red bricks white on the exterior of the home, trim around the house, Epoxy on the garage floor, painted the garage, painted a fiberglass deck, and power washed. Amazing transformation! Highly recommend them!

Brian Ward
I recently hired Carfagno Painting for a 5-day project involving high ceilings, stairs, bedrooms, and my kitchen, and I couldn't be happier. From the start, communication was excellent. Despite my project being delayed by winter storms and cabinet backlogs, they were incredibly flexible and easy to reach...it was never a problem.

The project manager, Justin, really knows his stuff. They arrived (early!), they took huge care in prepping the house with drop cloths and Ram Board to protect my floors. I had installed new craftsman molding myself and it looked 'okay,' but their team made it look amazing. They are masters of the 'caulk and paint make it what it ain’t' philosophy! Joe (the owner) and his wife also stopped by, and they are genuinely nice people. It’s clear this family-owned business cares about their work. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Brian, Thank you. It was a pleasure doing work for you
Liz Siringo
Joe and his team painted our nursery. Their service was quick, professional, and easy. The team is personable and follow up after the job is done. Thanks Joe and team!
Response from the owner:Thank you Liz. We enjoyed working for you.
Don Gibson
Very Professional. I would use them again in a heartbeat. My garage needed a lot of work. Came out beautifully. Interior, excellent. Crew went above and beyond.
Response from the owner:Thank you Don. It was a pleasure working for you.
James Watts
From estimating to quality of work, Carfagno Profesional Painting was exceptional. They were very clean and considerate and did a flawless job on our living room. I would highly recommend them. We will be using them for the rest of our house.
Response from the owner:James. Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure

Great job to Joe and his team of guys. He sent in seven guys and they worked diligently painting our new home. It took only three days. Everything turned out wonderful.
