We’ve Got Answers.

Everything You Need to Know Before You Create

Q1: How long does cabinet refinishing take?

Most cabinet refinishing projects are completed in about one week or less, depending on the size of the kitchen, the condition of the cabinets, and the scope of work. We provide a clear project timeline before work begins so you know what to expect.

Q2: Do you spray or brush the cabinets?

We professionally spray our cabinet finishes rather than brush them. This allows us to achieve a smoother, more consistent finish with the clean appearance homeowners expect from professionally refinished cabinetry.

Q3: Do you remove the cabinet doors?

Yes. Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are removed from the home and refinished at our shop, where we can properly prepare and spray them in a controlled environment. The cabinet frames and fixed surfaces are prepared and finished on site.

Q4: Can oak cabinets be refinished?

Yes. Oak cabinets can be refinished successfully. Because oak has a naturally pronounced grain, we evaluate the existing wood and desired finish to determine the best preparation process and set realistic expectations for the final appearance.

Q5: Can you refinish previously painted cabinets?

Yes, in many cases. Previously painted cabinets can often be refinished as long as the existing coating and cabinet surfaces are in suitable condition. We assess the cabinets first to determine the preparation needed for a durable new finish.

Q6: What is the difference between cabinet refinishing and refacing?

Cabinet refinishing keeps your existing cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and boxes while updating the finish and color.

Cabinet refacing keeps the existing cabinet boxes but replaces the doors and drawer fronts, giving you the opportunity to change the door style as well as the overall appearance of the kitchen.

Q7: Can you replace only my doors and drawer fronts?

Potentially. In some kitchens, replacing only the doors and drawer fronts is a practical option. Each project needs to be evaluated to make sure the new components will work properly with the existing cabinet boxes, hinges, and layout.

Q8: Do I need to empty my entire kitchen?

Usually, no. You only need to remove the items you expect to use during the project. Most belongings can remain inside the cabinets while we work, provided the cabinet interiors are not part of the refinishing scope.

Q9: How durable is the finish?

We use professional, industrial-grade finishing products made specifically for cabinetry. Combined with proper cleaning, preparation, sanding, and spray application, these products are designed to provide a durable finish that can stand up to everyday kitchen use.

Q10: How much does cabinet refinishing cost compared with replacing cabinets?

Cabinet refinishing typically costs a fraction of what it would cost to replace an entire kitchen with new cabinetry. The exact savings depend on the size and condition of the kitchen, but refinishing is often an excellent option when the existing cabinet boxes are still structurally sound and the homeowner wants a major visual update without a full replacement.

Q11: Do you offer staining?

We primarily specialize in sprayed cabinet coatings, refinishing and refacing rather than traditional staining. If you’re looking for a natural wood appearance, contact us and we’ll help determine whether refinishing, refacing, new doors, or another solution makes the most sense for your existing cabinetry.
