What Is Cabinet Painting & Refinishing?
Cabinet painting and refinishing is a process that restores and updates your existing cabinets without replacing them.
Instead of installing new doors or cabinetry, we keep your current cabinet structure and apply a professional refinishing process that transforms the appearance of your kitchen.
This process works best when:
• Your cabinets are structurally sound
• You like the current door style
• You want to change the cabinet color
• You want a modern look without remodeling
The result is a kitchen that feels fresh, updated, and professionally finished.
Common Cabinet Problems We Help Fix
Many kitchens don’t need new cabinets — they just need the right refinishing process.
Cabinets Look Outdated
Older cabinet colors or finishes can make a kitchen feel dated. Refinishing updates the color while keeping the cabinet structure.
Worn or Faded Cabinet Finish
Years of use can cause cabinet surfaces to fade or lose their shine. Refinishing restores a smooth, refreshed appearance.
Scratches, Marks, or Surface Wear
Cabinet doors often show signs of daily use. Proper sanding and spray finishing can restore a clean and even finish.
Yellowing or Darkened Cabinets
Older finishes may discolor over time. Refinishing allows you to brighten the space with a new color.
Our Cabinet Painting & Refinishing Process (7–10 Days)
Professional refinishing requires careful preparation and precision finishing.
On a typical kitchen, 15–20 hours are spent preparing surfaces before any paint is applied.
-
Preparation is the most important part of cabinet refinishing.
We thoroughly:
✔ Clean cabinet surfaces
✔ Sand cabinets for proper adhesion
✔ Protect surrounding kitchen areas with plastic and tape
✔ Create a barrier to contain dust during the processThis preparation ensures the finish bonds properly and lasts longer.
-
Once preparation is complete, cabinet surfaces are sealed and primed.
We apply high-quality primer designed specifically for cabinetry, helping the topcoat adhere properly and creating a durable foundation for the finish.
-
Cabinet bases are then spray finished with a topcoat tinted to your selected color.
Our process includes:
✔ Multiple spray coats
✔ Sanding between coats
✔ Even coverage for a smooth surfaceThis step creates the clean, modern finish homeowners expect from professional cabinet refinishing.
-
While cabinet bases are being refinished in your home, cabinet doors and drawer fronts are taken to our shop.
There they receive the same preparation and professional spray finishing in a controlled environment, allowing for:
✔ Smooth factory-like finishes
✔ Consistent color results
✔ Better durability -
Once the refinishing process is complete, doors and drawer fronts are returned and carefully reinstalled.
Our team ensures:
✔ Proper alignment
✔ Smooth operation
✔ Clean final presentationAt this stage, your kitchen is ready to enjoy.
Most projects are completed within 7–10 days from start to finish.
Cabinet Painting & Refinishing
If your current cabinets are well-made and you like the style of the doors and drawer fronts, cabinet painting & refinishing is your best option. There is a lot more to the process than just painting.
Our refinishing process involves 15-20 hours of prep work on a typical kitchen. We clean and sand thoroughly, use tape and plastic to cover everything in your kitchen, and create a barrier to contain as much dust as possible.
Then we seal, prime, and spray the topcoat (tinted to your choice of color) on your cabinet bases while sanding in between coats to ensure a smooth finish.
In the meantime, your doors and drawer-fronts get similar treatment off-site at our shop. The final step is to transport the doors and drawer-fronts back, reinstall everything, and leave you to enjoy your newly transformed kitchen!
Typically refinishing takes 7-10 days from start to finish.
