****Refinishing means painting****

1. Doors and drawer fronts are either painted on your property or taken to a paint shop. Surfaces are sanded to ensure proper bonding (the “shine” must be scuffed). Priming coat is next, with 1-2 finish coats applied after. NOTE: The grain of oak doors and drawer fronts tend to mirror through the paint, thus preventing a smooth look.

2. Cabinet face frames and sides are sanded, primed, and painted.

3. With normal use, painted cabinets typically need another coat in 2-3 years. Thus, painting cabinets create home maintenance.

4. With layers of paint, the inside corners of doors, drawer fronts, and trim tend to fill in. This “rounding” loses the crispness of a defined corner.

Absolutely.

Doors and drawer fronts, NO. The face frame, yes. If the original coating has any looseness whatsoever, another step happens.

Yes, not a problem!

1. We take your existing cabinets down to the box, or cabinet structure. All doors, drawer fronts, hardware, and hinges are taken to Habitat for Humanity. Drawer boxes and glides are often replaced.

2. We then sand the cabinet face frames (fronts of the cabinets). This sander attaches to a shop vac, which means dust-free. We remove the “shine” of the existing finish.

3. The face frames are then covered with either Mica (for solid colors) or Real Wood veneer (for stained). This is a very involved process, to ensure wood grains match the original look.

4. If sound, existing drawers get reinstalled. New dove-tailed drawer boxes may be an option.

5. We install NEW solid wood doors with soft close hinges. NEW drawer fronts are also installed.

6. New solid wood trim installed.

7. New handles and knobs installed

It looks easy on a YouTube video or TV show. Yet, you need specialty tools and techniques. Most kitchens have unique situations that only years of experience can overcome.

Twice. After that, refacing materials are removed with an industrial solvent, which dissipates the glue.

You can paint cabinets as many times as you want. Eventually, you’ll see a rounding of all inside corners and cracking from layers of paint.

Cabinet refacing began in the 80’s as a way to update a kitchen without the expense of new cabinetry. It began with contact paper on the cabinet frames (think of shelving paper). Doors and drawer fronts received a shrink-wrapped matching material. Unfortunately, this material was prone to rubbing off. Thus, cabinet refacing gained a less than quality reputation.

90’s contractors began using formica to cover the frames. They discovered thermafoil doors had a longer life than material of the 80’s. From the wood grained look to solid colors, new varieties appeared. Cabinet refacing become a viable option for kitchen remodels.

During the 2000’s, real wood veneer and solid wood doors emerged. Rising to a new level of quality, cabinet refacing matched value of new cabinets.

Appearing in the 2010’s were soft closing hinges and drawer glides. This allowed the prized QUIET kitchen.
