  • Is painting kitchen cabinets a good idea?

    Painting old or worn-down kitchen cabinets offers several significant advantages. First and foremost, it's a cost-effective alternative to completely replacing cabinets, which can be a costly and time-consuming endeavor. Cabinet painting allows homeowners to achieve a fresh and updated look without breaking the bank.


     Additionally, painting cabinets gives you the flexibility to choose from a wide range of colors and finishes, allowing you to personalize your kitchen to match your style and preferences. It's an eco-friendly option as well, as it reduces waste by repurposing existing cabinets instead of sending them to a landfill. 


    Moreover, painting can help protect the cabinet surfaces, extending their lifespan and durability, and making them easier to clean and maintain. Overall, painting old or worn kitchen cabinets is a smart and sustainable choice that can instantly rejuvenate the heart of your home.

  • What type of paint do you use?

    We prefer to utilize a waterborne lacquer by ILVA, available through JC Licht/Benjamin Moore. This Italian lacquer is specifically designed for cabinet applications, offering low-VOC emissions without compromising on durability.


    Like many waterborne lacquers, it allows for a quick return to service, typically within 24 hours.


    Additionally, this lacquer can be custom mixed to match any color from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, or any other major paint brand, giving you a wide range of color options for your project.


  • How long does kitchen cabinet refinishing take?

    The time it takes for your kitchen to be back in service depends on the application method chosen, with the possibility of resuming normal use in as little as 2 days.


     Typically, the entire process is completed within a week, although larger projects may require more time.

  • Can I use my kitchen during the painting?

    We aim to simplify this process for you as much as we can, ensuring that you can keep using your kitchen. However, please note that maintaining access might slow down the painting process slightly.


    Before we begin the project, kindly inform us if you'll need continuous access to your appliances.

  • What colors can I use?

    The world is your palette when it comes to color selection. You have the freedom to choose from any major brand paint manufacturer or even any color sample you prefer. However, please be aware that custom matching may require additional time to achieve the perfect match.

  • Is there a warranty?

    We provide a limited 2-year warranty on the products and craftsmanship of the coating we apply. For more detailed information, please refer to our "Warranty" section.


    Please note that our warranty does not cover impact damage where the wood itself is damaged. While the product we use for the kitchen refinishing process is highly durable, its toughness is contingent upon the material it is applied to..

Cabinet Re-Finishing and Painting Process

The kitchen cabinet refinishing process involves several steps to transform the appearance of your cabinets and give them a fresh, updated look. Here is an overview of the typical kitchen cabinet refinishing process.

Planning & Preparation



The refinishing process kicks off with a detailed assessment of your existing cabinets, focusing on their condition, any present damage or issues, and deciding on the most effective refinishing strategy. This stage involves removing the cabinet doors and hardware, and prepping the area, which might include shielding nearby surfaces to prevent dust and paint damage.

Cleaning & Surface Preparation

 

To ensure the new finish adheres well, cabinets are thoroughly cleaned to eliminate any accumulated dirt, grease, and grime. Following cleaning, the cabinet surfaces are meticulously sanded to create a smooth base, enhancing paint adhesion and laying the groundwork for a durable finish.

 

Repairs & Corrections



This phase addresses minor repairs, using wood filler to fix dents, cracks, or any imperfections in the wood. Additionally, any damaged cabinet parts, like loose joints or hardware, are either repaired or replaced to maintain the structure's integrity, though replacing damaged hardware may lead to extra costs.

Priming & Painting


A high-quality bonding primer is applied to prepare the cabinet surfaces for painting, creating a strong foundation for the paint to adhere to. Then, multiple coats of paint or lacquer are applied, each thoroughly dried before applying the next, achieving the desired finish and color depth.

Reassembly & Hardware Install


After the paint has dried completely, the cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware are carefully reassembled and installed. This is also the perfect time to upgrade your cabinets' hardware, like knobs or handles, to refresh your kitchen's overall look.

Cleanup & Inspection


A final inspection ensures the refinishing meets the highest standards, with any needed touch-ups or corrections made for a perfect finish. Lastly, the work area is tidied up, and all protective coverings are removed, leaving your kitchen spotless and ready for you to enjoy.
