Frequently Asked Questions

OUR MOST ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS CABINET REFINISHING?

Cabinet Refinishing (you might call is Cabinet Painting ) is an affordable way for home owners to get a whole new look in your kitchen while using your existing cabinets.

We coat your frames with the top of the line industrial grade product designed specifically for kitchens and long lasting finishes. We take your doors to our shop, and use our professional spraying system to coat your doors in our state of the art spray booth. If you have or would like crown molding installed, we would spray that as well.

The result is a custom kitchen at a quarter the cost of replacing all the cabinets and doors in your kitchen!

WHAT IS CABINET REFACING?

Cabinet Refacing is great for home owners who have existing cabinet doors that are in poor condition, or who would like a new style of cabinet door. We will paint / refinish your current cabinet boxes but all upgrade you to all new doors! We resurface your cabinet boxes and frames using our top of the line finishing product (we don’t use the Fermica veneer). We make you brand new doors in the style and color you like! You can choose from our Refacing Catalog to see what we can have made. Want crown molding, new end panels or island panels? We can install and spray those as well!

HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKE?

If you would like your cabinets refinished / cabinets painted (keep existing doors), the average kitchen take 5 working days.

If you would like your cabinets refaced (replace existing doors), the average kitchen takes 3-5 working days not including shipping of the new doors. *We would confirm your door / drawer style about 2-3 weeks prior to your project start date so we can have them made in time.

WHAT IS THE CURING OR DRY TIME?

Everything we spray will be dry to touch before we leave your home. Our products do not dry sticky or tacky. You can fully use your kitchen when we leave. You will also be left with after care instructions for your painted cabinet doors. They will cure to their maximum strength and hardness in about two weeks, so you just need to be careful what you clean them with until after that period.

DO YOU GUARENTEE YOUR WORK?

yes, we guarantee all of our work, and strive for 100% customer satisfaction. We provide a 1 year warranty. We also refrain from accepting final payment until you are satisfied and have signed off on the job. We provide touch up paint to every homeowner but if anything major happens, just give us a call!

DO YOU UPDGRADE AND INSTALL HARDWARE?

Yes, it is common for home owners to want to add or change their handles and knobs on their cabinet doors. We gladly will install your new hardware, or drill/fill holes to allow proper fitment for your new hardware. The handles/knobs and hardware itself is not included unless otherwise stated on your invoice.

WHAT IS THE COST FOR REFINISHING / REFACING?

Refinishing is typically about 70% less costly then replacing. Refacing is about 50% less than replacing. The cost for your space depends on several factors including size, condition of current cabinets, current finish and type of surface (wood, laminate, veneer, thermafoil).

For general frame of reference the majority of our kitchen projects start around $3,000. This is for an average sized space with no large pantries, islands etc. Medium sized kitchens range up to $6,000. Large custom kitchens with detailed panels, moldings, trims, pantries and appliance panels can be upwards of $10,000.

WILL THIS ADD VALUE TO MY HOME?

Every year, various Realtor groups poll home improvement stores and other Realtors to come up with a list of home improvements that actually add value to your house. Year after year, the top results are the same. Cabinet Refacing is the home improvement job that adds the most value to your house.
