Cabinet FAQ's

  • What is the difference between cabinet renewal and refinishing?

    Cabinet refinishing consist of changing the color of your cabinets in a dramatic way such as from stain to paint or from a light stain to a dark stain.


    Cabinnet Renewal consist of bringing your cabinets back to their factory finish, for the most part. If you are happy with the overall look of your cabinets but just want the orange/yellow tint taken out along with the scratches and bringing back the luster they once had, then renewal is the answer for you.


    Getting your home ready for sale? Renewal is a great feature to make you cabinets look great at a discounted price from refinishing.


  • What types of paints are used?

    A:  Benjamin Moore Advance alkyd paint and primers are used due to there durability, air quality, and longevity.  Benjamin Moore Advance is the longest, non-amber paints on the market today.  Which means your white cabinets won't be turning yellow anytime soon. 

  • Do you sand down the doors?

    A:   Sanding only occurs when absolutely necessary.  In most cases the cabinets are de-glossed using earth friendly products to prepare them for refinishing.  Our preparations not only provide an adhesive surface but is also virtually dust free.

  • Is there a warranty offered?

    A:  Yes we do.  We feel confident with the choice of products and preparations to ensure a long lasting and durable finish. Our warranty covers everything from nicks and scratches to fading and peeling.  

  • Do I have to stay out of my kitchen during the process?

    A:  During the days you will have limited access to the kitchen and full access during the evenings and weekends.  My goal is to make this process as easy and convenient as possible.

  • Are the doors and drawers taken somewhere else to paint?

    A:  The preferred method is to paint them onsite.  A 10'x15' dust free spray room is created in your garage.  Using the method quickens the process from the wait time to transport.  This also means there's no chance of damage during transporting.  However, if there is no spaces for a spray room the doors and drawers can be taken offsite for refinishing.

  • Can my cabinets be stained again instead of painting?

    A:  Yes.  Stained cabinets can simply have a renewal process where the nicks and scratches are taken out and a new clear coat is applied keeping them the same current color but with that new shine.  Stain colors can also be changed to any darker color we offer.  There are also additional stain options of antiquing/distressed as well.

  • Do all the cabinets need to be emptied?

    A:  Typically no.  All that is required is that the first few inches are available to tape preparations.  If the drawer faces are removable the drawers to not have to be fully emptied either.  However, if the drawer faces are not removable they will need to be emptied during the refinishing process.

  • How long does it take from start to finish?

    A: A typical kitchen cabinet refinishing project takes up to 10 days from start to finish. This takes into consideration of temperature, humidity, and finished product.

  • Do you paint inside the cabinets?

    A:  The interiors of the cabinets can be painted for an additional cost but I don't recommend it unless absolutely necessary.  The only times the some interiors are painted is when doors have glass fronts and the interiors are seen through the glass.

  • I have a baby in the house. Do I need to leave while the cabinets are being painted?

    A:  The paints used are the most Eco-friendly products, given color choices, and have some of the best air qualities on the market today.  That being said, no fumes are good to breathe.  It is recommended during the painting of the base units to not be in the general area for a few hours and keep proper ventilation.  However, when it comes to the staining process the products are not as Eco-friendly and it is recommended that children not be in the area for at least 24 hours.  The stains are oil based and produce low fumes that are not safe to breathe.  Again, proper ventilation is recommended during this process.  Visit Benjamin Moore Advance paints, or Old Masters stains for more information.

  • What is glazing?

    A:  Glazing is the process of applying a translucent color over a base coat.  More simply, it is used for defining  decorative cabinet lines, creating antique effects, or when airbrushed, a soft fade of colors.

  • Is there any protective clear coats that go on?

    A:  There are always protective clear coats applied to staining projects.  It is recommended that protective clear coating be applied to any work involving glaze.  It is only by personal preference clear coating to a single color cabinet painting project.  The paints used are durable and have a high quality finish that make it not neccesarry to clear coat if your looking at saving a little money.

  • How long does it take to dry?

    A:  The cabinets are typically dry to the touch and use when installed.  However, it takes all paint up to 21 days to fully cure.  It is recommended that the cabinets are treated with a little extra care during this time period to help insure a beautiful finish for years to come.

  • What is the average cost of kitchen cabinet refinishing?

    The average cost ranges from &2600 to $3000 for the full process.  However, this is just the average cost as amounts, additional options, and condition is also factored into the cost.

  • What if I just want to bring back the shine?

    If your just looking to get rid of some old scratches and bring back the shine mention "Renewal" in the notes of our online estimate form for a reduced price than full cabinet refinishing.
