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?

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Outdated Wood Tones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.
