Common Cabinet Problems Staining Can Fix
Many kitchens don’t need new cabinets — they simply need the right refinishing process.
Cabinet staining can help solve problems such as:
• Faded or worn cabinet stain
• Yellowed or outdated wood finishes
• Cabinets that look dull or dry
• Kitchens that feel dark or dated
• Wood cabinets that need color restoration
A professional cabinet staining service restores color while preserving the natural beauty of real wood cabinets.

Our Project
Trusted by Homeowners Across Minneapolis
We don’t just stain cabinets. We deliver results homeowners love.
WOW! I wish I had hired Barnett Cabinet Painting sooner! We decided to give our kitchen a facelift before selling the house and we think it was the single most important thing for giving our house that extra notch above the competition. Aimee and Jake's process is so seamless and smooth - we were totally blown away. We ended up asking Aimee to stain our new windows too after she started the cabinets and she did a perfect job of that too! I want EVERYONE to know what a value this service is! If you're thinking of a kitchen remodel - STOP and hire Barnett Cabinet Painting and Refacing FIRST! Thanks so much, guys! We want you to change the stain in our window trim in our new house!
