Many Stillwater homes, especially older properties near the historic districts, still have solid wood cabinetry worth preserving. Staining lets the natural wood grain show through instead of covering it, a warm, classic option that suits river-town homes with hardwood floors and stone counters.

Best for: Solid wood cabinets

Our Cabinet Transformation Process

Every Stillwater cabinet project follows the same structured process, so you know what to expect from your first phone call to the final walkthrough.

1. Request Your Free Estimate

Send a few photos or a short video of your Stillwater kitchen. We will follow up with a quick quote, then schedule an in-home visit to confirm the details.

2. Pick Your Finish Color and Style

We bring physical color samples to your home. No design background required. We will help you land on a finish you will still love in five years.

3. Cleaning, Sanding, and Priming

Every surface is degreased, sanded, and primed before finishing begins. This step is what separates a coating that lasts from one that chips within a year.

4. Spray-Applied Finishing

Doors and drawer fronts are finished in a controlled spray environment rather than brushed on-site, resulting in a smooth, even, factory-quality finish.

5. Reinstallation and Hardware

Finished doors and drawer fronts are reinstalled and aligned for a precise fit. Soft-close hinges or new hardware can be added at this stage if you would like.

6. Final Walkthrough

Before we call the job done, we walk through the finished kitchen with you to confirm every detail meets our standards and yours.
