  • The process starts with removing the handle hardware and getting rid of all the old grease and dirt that has built up over the years along with deglossing for better adhesion.  
  • Next, all of the exterior seams are filled and smoothed with high quality adhesive caulk.
  • From there we are now ready to apply the primer. The doors and drawers are sprayed as the exterior base units are rolled and tipped using a fine finish mohair roller and self leveling primer. Once checked for imperfections the top coat is applied and another inspection of the finish. 
  • For our decorative finishes the glaze is now applied in the desired effects from a stream line clean finish to aged, weathered, distressed, or old world antiqued.
  • Important for the finish is the protective clear coating. This not only gives the cabinets a consistent finish but also protects from stains and scratches.
  • The hardware is then reinstalled, which is a good time to have new handles, and the doors are properly adjusted.

What is cabinet refinishing?

Unlike cabinet refacing, cabinet refinishing typically does not replace door and drawer faces nor does it include a thin wood luan overlay. Cabinet refinishing is as states in the name, refinishing. The process involves lightly sanding or deglossing your cabinets and cleaning to ensure all grim build up is removed. 

 When it comes to painting  kitchen cabinets the typical first application is caulking all the seams, not just in the cabinet units, but also the doors as well. Securing the seams prevents any unwanted thin break-lines in the paint. Once the cabinets are ready it is important to apply a top-rated primer as this is the foundation on which will keep the finished project from chipping and/or peeling. Next, and typically the final coat, is the top coat. This is also important to use the right paint products as different paints are designed for different surfaces and uses. Dream Stone Creations Painting recommends Advance Benjamin Moore not only for its durability and longevity but it is also the longest lasting white paint on the market today. As most brands amber (yellow tinting) over time Benjamin Moore Advance will hold its color and has some of the lowest V.O.C.’s on the market.

Taking the panting cabinets to the next level in a faux finish kitchen cabinet design. The most common is an architectural glaze highlight brings attention to the different levels in the cabinetry design. When adding any type of glazing or faux finish it is recommended that a protective clear coating is applied as glaze on its own does not stand up well to the years of wear-and-tear.  

If staining kitchen cabinets is something more you had in mind than rest assured it is not any more of an undertaking than painting. There is no need to remove all the original clear coating and stain for this process of cabinet refinishing. The cabinets are lightly sanded and/or deglossed. A professional grade gel stain is applied, typically by hand, right over the existing clear coats and stains. In the cabinet re-staining process there are two to three thin coats applied to keep the translucence to show the grain. However, if you wanting to change the wood to another style of wood that has no or different grain lines then the stain is applied a little thicker and new grains are created.

After the cabinet stain application is complete a protective clear coat is required as the variety of stains are susceptible to some cleaning agents. Dream Stone Creations Painting recommends a water based clear coat to keep the typical amber that appears over time in stained finishes. Stain amber appears as the orange/yellow tint seen in lighter colored cabinets.

Saving the best for last. Cabinet refinishing (cabinet staining, cabinet painting) is usually priced less than half the cost of cabinet refacing and less than a third of the cost than replacing cabinets.  With cabinet refinishing you get the look you've always wanted without the mess of a kitchen remodel, all the dust, and weeks of not having use of your kitchen.  With kitchen cabinet refinishing you generally get full use of your kitchen during the entire process and you don't have to empty all your dishes out.  More questions?  Please don't hesitate to call or write.
