Cabinet Refinishing Services — A New Look Without the Remodel Price Tag

Most kitchen cabinet refinishing projects run three to five days from start to reinstallation. Bathroom vanity projects are typically one to two days. The timeline is confirmed in the written estimate before the project is scheduled.

A correctly executed cabinet refinishing project should hold up for eight to twelve years with normal care before needing a refresh. The 6-month workmanship warranty covers the work if any adhesion or finish issues surface in that initial period.

Yes. Painted cabinet finishes are available in any Sherwin-Williams color. Two-tone schemes are common and handled within the standard refinishing scope.

Hardware replacement can be included as part of the project scope. New hardware is installed after the finish coat is complete and fully cured.

The terms are often used interchangeably. In KB Painting's scope, all cabinet work follows the same prep and priming process — the distinction is in the finish type: painted (opaque color coating) versus stained (transparent or semi-transparent coating that shows the wood grain).

We offer extensive color and finish options to match any style including classic whites, off-whites, and creams for timeless appeal, popular grays from light to charcoal, bold colors like navy, emerald, or black for dramatic impact, natural wood stains in various tones, two-tone combinations (different colors for uppers and lowers), distressed or glazed finishes for character, and custom color matching to your specifications. Finish options include matte, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss. We'll bring samples and help you select options that complement your kitchen's style and your home's aesthetic.

When done professionally with premium products, refinished cabinets are just as durable as new factory-finished cabinets. We use commercial-grade primers and paints designed specifically for cabinetry, apply multiple coats for depth and protection, use catalyzed or conversion varnish topcoats for maximum durability, and allow proper curing time between coats. Our refinished cabinets resist chips, scratches, moisture, and daily wear just like new cabinets. Plus, we back our cabinet refinishing with a 6-month workmanship warranty for your peace of mind.

Yes, all cabinets must be completely emptied before we begin work. This includes removing all dishes, food items, cookware, and contents from cabinets and drawers, clearing countertops completely, and removing small appliances. We recommend packing items in boxes and storing them in another room, garage, or dining area during the project. While this requires some effort, it protects your belongings and allows us to work efficiently. We'll advise you on preparation steps during your consultation so you're fully prepared before project start.

Absolutely! Cabinet refinishing is an excellent opportunity to address damage and wear. We repair wood damage and gouges, fix loose or broken hinges, replace worn drawer glides and hardware, repair or replace damaged trim and molding, fix door alignment issues, fill holes from old hardware, and address water damage when feasible. Minor to moderate damage can almost always be repaired during refinishing. Severe structural damage may require cabinet replacement, which we'll identify during inspection. Our goal is to make your cabinets look and function like new.

Maintaining refinished cabinets is simple with proper care. We recommend cleaning with mild soap and water (avoid harsh chemicals), wiping up spills promptly, using soft cloths—never abrasive scrubbers, avoiding excessive moisture around sinks and dishwashers, using cabinet door bumpers to prevent slamming, installing soft-close hinges for longevity, and cleaning hardware regularly. Avoid hanging wet towels on cabinet doors and don't overload cabinets beyond their design capacity. With basic care, your refinished cabinets will maintain their beautiful appearance for 10-15+ years. We'll provide detailed maintenance instructions upon project completion.
