General Questions
What is cabinet refinishing?
Cabinet refinishing involves refinishing/repainting your existing cabinets by sanding, priming, and painting to give them a fresh, updated look. This process keeps the original structure intact while achieving a high-end finish.
How is Refinishing different from Refacing or Replacing?
Refinishing uses your existing cabinets, focusing on their surfaces and finish. Refacing involves replacing cabinet doors and drawer fronts while keeping the cabinet box intact. Replacing involves completely removing and installing new cabinets. Refinishing is typically more cost-effective, more time-efficient, and less invasive.
How long does the refinishing process take?
Depending on the size of your kitchen and the complexity of the project, Cabinet Refinishing usually takes 3–5 business days.
Do I need to empty my cabinets before refinishing?
Not completely, as long as the front 2 inches inside the cabinet is cleared so masking can be installed the remaining cabinet space can remain filled, we will tape and plastic mask the interior of the cabinet face frame to protect the interior.
