If your kitchen cabinets are in good structural condition, why replace or reface them when you can refinish them for a fraction of the cost? On average, our customers save between $2,000 and $3,000 by refinishing instead of refacing.

A Refacing Contractor will simply replace your existing doors and drawer fronts with new doors and drawers and re-veneer your cabinet frames. We are a Refinishing Contractor and we will strip the finish from your existing doors, drawers and cabinet frames and re-apply a new finish.

Kitchen Refinishing:

Prior to our arrival, you need to empty all cabinets and drawers. Our crew will label and remove all doors, drawers and hardware, which will be transported to our shop for finishing. We will then begin the refinishing process on your cabinet frames. For stained finishes, we will remove the existing finish using a chemical stripping agent followed by hand sanding to remove any remaining finish. Once this is complete we will produce a sample of your desired finish on one of your existing cabinet doors for your approval.

If you chose a stain finish, once the finish is approved, we will first apply your new stain color, followed by a coat of sealer and multiple coats of Lacquer. In between each coat of Lacquer we lightly sand. This sanding smoothes the finish and allows us to give an ultra smooth professional finish to your new cabinets.

For solid color painted finishes, your existing finish will be thoroughly cleaned and sanded. Multiple coats of primer will be applied with sanding in between each coat followed by two coats of pigmented lacquer paint.

For most kitchens, allow two to three days to complete the finishing process on your cabinet frames. During this time period, you will have access to your refrigerator, but not to any cooking surfaces as we tape all appliances off. This is done to protect them while we strip your cabinet frames. After we have completed working on the cabinet frames, you can reload your cabinet shelves (leaving enough clearance so we can reattach your hinges) while we return to our shop to work on your doors and drawers. After about 3 to 5 working days, we will return with your finished doors and drawers and reinstall them. If you want to purchase new handles or hinges, we will install them for you at no additional charge as long as the new hardware uses the same mounting holes as the old hardware.

Refinishing is a great way to return your cabinets to their original beauty, or to revitalize your kitchen with a completely new finish. Your refinished is a cost effective to give your kitchen a new look that you will enjoy for years to come.
