The Details

See What You Get With Cabinet Refinishing

Color Consultation

Cabinet color matched to counters, floors, and your palette. A designer checks undertones in your actual kitchen light. Sampled on a door before the full spray.

Materials

Cabinet-grade primer and enamel, supplied by us. Not wall paint on doors, a purpose-made system that levels glass-smooth. Every product is named in the written scope.

Finish System

Bonding primer and sprayed cabinet-grade enamel. A catalyzed system that cures hard, not sticky. Built for a decade of fingerprints, cleaners, and daily use.

Hardware

Removed, protected, and reinstalled true, or upgraded. New pulls and hinges are templated so every hole lands perfectly. Soft-close upgrades are easy while everything is apart.

Islands & Built-ins

Kitchen islands, hutches, and built-in cabinetry. Finished to match or contrast, islands carry an accent color beautifully. Treated with the same prep and enamel as the perimeter cabinets.

Boxes & Face Frames

Cabinet boxes and face frames finished in place. Masked tight so counters, floors, and walls stay untouched. The same sprayed finish as the doors, one seamless system.

Cabinet Doors & Drawers

Removed, labeled, and finished flat for a factory-smooth face. Every panel is degreased, sanded, and bonded before color. Reinstalled aligned, with doors that close the way they should.

Service areas

Cabinet Refinishing Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about refinishing instead of replacing, including cost, durability, and whether your cabinets are a good candidate in the first place.

Do you replace the hardware and hinges too?

We can. Refinishing is the natural moment to change knobs, pulls and hinges, since everything is already off, and new hardware changes the look as much as the colour does. If you want to keep your existing hardware we clean and reinstall it. Either way we rehang and adjust every door so it closes true.

Can I use my kitchen while the cabinets are being refinished?

Mostly, yes. Doors and drawer fronts come off site or to a contained spray area, so you keep access to the boxes and your appliances throughout. There are a few days where cabinet interiors are open and you'll want to clear countertops. We contain dust and overspray and clean daily.

Will the finish chip or peel later?

Not if it's prepped correctly. We remove doors and hardware, degrease thoroughly, sand, and prime before spraying, kitchen cabinets face grease, moisture and daily hands, so skipped prep shows within months. We spray rather than brush and let each coat cure properly, which produces a hard, factory-smooth finish rather than a painted-on look.

Can you refinish any kind of cabinet?

Solid wood, MDF, and most factory-finished cabinets refinish beautifully. Thermofoil and heavily laminated surfaces are harder and sometimes not worth doing, we'll tell you honestly at the walkthrough rather than take the job and hope. The real test is whether the boxes are structurally sound. Good boxes with dated colour are the ideal refinishing candidate.

How long does cabinet refinishing take?

Most kitchens are done in several days to about a week, dramatically faster than a full cabinet replacement, which can take weeks. Timeline depends on the number of doors, the number of coats, and cure time between them. We don't rush curing; that's what separates a finish that lasts from one that chips within months.

How much does cabinet refinishing cost compared to replacing?

Refinishing typically costs a fraction of replacement, often a few thousand dollars against tens of thousands for new cabinetry. Pricing depends on the number of doors and drawers, the existing finish, and whether boxes are included. We quote after inspecting the cabinets in person, with labor and materials included and 0% financing available.
