Top questions from homeowners
What is the difference between refinishing, repainting, and refacing?
Refinishing involves stripping the existing finish and applying a new stain or topcoat to restore the natural wood look. Repainting involves applying a fresh coat of professional-grade paint over your cabinets for a completely new color. Refacing replaces your cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and hardware while keeping your existing cabinet boxes intact.
How long does a typical cabinet project take?
Most cabinet refinishing, repainting, and refacing projects are completed within 3 to 5 business days, depending on the size of your kitchen or bathroom and the scope of work. We will provide an estimated timeline during your free in-home consultation.
Will I be able to use my kitchen during the project?
You will have limited access to your kitchen while cabinet doors and drawer fronts are removed for finishing. We work efficiently to minimize disruption and keep you informed throughout the process so you know what to expect each day.
Do you replace cabinet boxes, or only the doors and fronts?
In most cases, we work with your existing cabinet boxes, since they are typically structurally sound. We focus on refinishing, repainting, or refacing the visible surfaces, which is significantly more affordable than full cabinet replacement.
