What it is

Cabinet refinishing is painting kitchens without replacing them.

How we do it

We don't roll cabinet doors. Every door comes off. Every door gets labeled. Every door goes to a controlled setting — sanded, primed with a bonding primer, sprayed in thin coats, cured, and re-hung.

What you get

You keep your layout. You keep your hardware. You save $5,000–$8,000 versus replacement. A finish that holds up to cooking, cleaning, and a full household.

What's included

Our process — 8 steps

Step 01

Walk-through & door count

We count every door and drawer front. Photograph the layout.

Step 02

Remove and label

Every piece off. Every piece numbered so it returns to the exact frame.

Step 03

Sand to the wood

Old finish removed. Cutting this step is why most cabinet jobs fail.

Step 04

Degrease and wipe

Kitchen grease is the enemy of paint adhesion. Solvent wipe before primer.

Step 05

Bonding primer

Not regular primer. A bonding primer made for slick surfaces.

Step 06

Spray coats (2–3)

Thin coats in controlled setting. No drips, no brush lines, no roller stipple.

Step 07

Cure time

Finish done when cured, not when dry. Rushing the re-hang makes doors stick.

Step 08

Re-hang and adjust

Doors back on frames. Face frames painted in place with detail tools.

Timeline

Standard kitchen (20–30 doors + drawers): 5–8 working days.
Large kitchens or custom layouts: up to 10 days.
Kitchen unusable roughly 3–4 of those days.

Frequently asked

How long until I can cook in my kitchen again?
Usable for dry storage: day 4–5. Full cooking and cleaning without worry: day 7–10 once finish has fully cured.
Can I keep my hardware?
If it's in good condition, yes. We remove, store labeled, re-install at close. Upgrades installed during re-hang at no extra labor charge.
What colors?
Anything — Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Farrow & Ball. White, navy, charcoal, and two-tone are all same price per door.
How does this compare to replacing cabinets?
Full replacement: $15K–$30K. Refinishing same kitchen: $3K–$8K — 60–80% less. Bones stay, finish changes.
Will it hold up to dishwashing and cleaning?
Yes — bonding-primer-plus-two-spray-coat finish on a properly sanded door holds up for 8–12 years of normal kitchen use.
Can you do bathroom vanities too?
Yes. Same process, same pricing per door. Usually bundles well with a kitchen refresh.
What about the inside of the cabinets?
By default we paint only what shows. Interior shelving stays as-is. Interior paint optional and priced per cabinet.

Thinking about a kitchen refresh?

We'll count the doors, look at the finish, and tell you what it costs to bring the kitchen back — without pulling a single cabinet out.
