Cabinet Refinishing
Refinishing gets you a new-looking kitchen for a fraction of replacement, but only if it is sprayed properly. Brushed-on cabinets look brushed-on forever.
What's included
- Doors and drawer fronts removed, labeled and sprayed off-site
- Degrease, sand, bond-primer, two sprayed finish coats
- Boxes and face frames sprayed in place behind containment
- Hardware swaps and new hinge boring on request
Kitchen cabinets carry years of cooking grease, and paint will not stick through it. Every door gets degreased, scuff-sanded and bond-primed before it sees color. We spray a cabinet-grade waterborne enamel that cures hard enough to take fingernails and cleaning spray, then rehang and adjust every door. Most kitchens are 5–8 days start to finish, and you keep the use of your sink and appliances the whole time.
Questions
Cabinet Refinishing FAQs
Can you refinish oak cabinets with a heavy grain?
Yes. Oak grain will still read through a painted finish unless it is grain-filled first — we will show you samples of both so you can pick before we start.
How durable is a painted cabinet?
Sprayed cabinet enamel takes about two weeks to fully cure. After that it handles daily kitchen use; treat it like a factory finish, not like wall paint.
Is refinishing cheaper than new cabinets?
Substantially — usually a fraction of replacement cost, and there is no demo, no countertop removal and no weeks without a kitchen.
