Cabinet Refinishing — FAQs
What’s the difference between cabinet refinishing and painting?
Refinishing uses a shop-grade system with bonding primer and sprayed enamel/urethane for a smooth, factory-like finish. “Painting” can mean brush/roll only. Our process is designed for durability and a furniture-grade look.
How long does cabinet refinishing take?
Most kitchens take 4–7 working days depending on the number of doors/drawers, repairs, and drying conditions. We’ll provide a clear schedule in your quote.
Is the finish durable and easy to clean?
Yes. We use hard-curing enamel/urethane systems made for kitchens and baths. After full cure, they resist normal cleaning, fingerprints, and moisture better than standard wall paint.
Do you spray on-site or in a shop?
Doors and drawers are typically sprayed in a controlled environment; frames are finished on-site with professional masking and ventilation for a consistent result.
Are there low-odor or low-VOC options?
We offer low-odor, low-VOC systems for families, pets, or sensitive spaces. Ask your estimator and we’ll recommend the best product for your goals.
Do you offer a warranty on cabinet refinishing?
Yes. Projects include a workmanship warranty. We review care instructions and warranty details during the final walkthrough so you know exactly what’s covered.
