What is included
What goes into cabinet refinishing & painting
- Doors and drawer fronts removed, labeled and sprayed off the house
- Thorough degreasing, which decides whether the finish sticks
- Sanding, grain filling where a smooth finish is wanted, and priming
- Sprayed cabinet-grade coating rather than brushed wall paint
- Boxes finished in place with dust containment
- New hardware fitted and everything rehung and aligned
Cabinet Refinishing & Painting from measurement to final adjustment
Grease is the enemy. Kitchen doors carry years of invisible cooking residue that will reject any coating put over it, and proper degreasing with a bonding primer is the difference between a finish that lasts a decade and one that chips off the door edge within a year.
Wall paint on cabinet doors never fully hardens on a surface that gets handled daily. A proper cabinet coating, sprayed rather than brushed, is what makes a refinished kitchen look manufactured rather than painted.

FAQ
Common questions on cabinet refinishing & painting
Painting versus refinishing cabinets — what is the difference?
Refinishing strips or sands the existing finish and applies a new stain and clear coat, keeping the wood visible. Painting covers the wood with an opaque cabinet enamel. Both are done properly by degreasing, sanding, priming and spraying — never by brushing wall paint onto the doors. Painting is the bigger visual change; refinishing suits wood worth showing.
Will painted cabinets chip?
A sprayed cabinet enamel over a bonding primer on a properly prepared surface is hard-wearing and lasts years. Chipping comes from skipped preparation, wall paint used instead of a cabinet coating, or the finish used before it has cured. The doors are sprayed flat in a controlled space; the boxes are sprayed in the kitchen with the room masked.
