Cabinet Refinishing and Painting
A great paint or stain finish is about preparation: cleaning, degreasing, sanding, filling and priming before any color goes on. We remove the doors, finish them in a controlled setup and spray or brush a hard-wearing coat that looks smooth and cleans easily. New hardware completes the change.

About cabinet refinishing and painting
How long will the finish last?
A properly prepared and cured finish can last for years with normal care. High-touch areas around handles and the sink show wear first, and we tell you how to care for it.
Can you paint over wood grain?
Yes, though the grain may show through. We can fill it for a smoother look if you want a flat finish.
Is painting better than refacing?
Painting keeps the doors you have. Refacing gives you new door styles. We help you decide based on the condition and the look you want.
