Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Hamilton homeowners want to know before transforming their kitchen cabinets.
How long does a cabinet refinishing project take?
The exact timeline depends on the size of your kitchen. We'll confirm the schedule with you before the project begins. Most of the detailed work is completed at our facility, where we refinish your doors and drawers, while the cabinet structure in your home is typically sprayed within 2–4 days.
How much does refinishing cost compared with new cabinets?
Refinishing, painting, and refacing typically cost a fraction of full cabinet replacement because we reuse your solid cabinet boxes. We provide a clear, no-pressure quote so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you refinish or paint oak cabinets?
Yes. Oak is one of the most common cabinets we transform. With proper prep and cabinet-grade coatings we can smooth the grain and update the colour, including popular dark-to-white changes.
Will the finish chip or peel over time?
When properly prepared and applied, a cabinet finish should be strong, smooth, and long-lasting. Our process includes detailed surface preparation, premium primer, and a sprayed cabinet-grade finish designed specifically for daily kitchen use. The result is a durable, professional finish that is far stronger than ordinary paint and backed by our workmanship warranty.
Do I need to empty my cabinets before you start?
For most cabinet refinishing projects, there is no need to empty your cabinets. Before spraying begins, we carefully seal and protect the cabinet openings to help prevent dust, overspray, and debris from entering the inside of your cabinets. Our goal is to make the process as convenient as possible while keeping your kitchen protected and your belongings safely in place. If anything needs to be moved, we'll let you know ahead of time.
Should I choose refinishing, refacing, or replacement?
It depends on the condition of your cabinets and the change you want. If your boxes are solid, refinishing or refacing usually delivers the look you want for less. Send us a photo and we will recommend the best option.
Will cabinet refinishing or refacing add value to my home?
Yes, it is a smart way to improve your home's value and overall appeal. Since the kitchen is one of the most important spaces for homeowners and buyers, updating the cabinets can make a big impact.
Refacing gives your kitchen a refreshed, high-end look without the expense of completely replacing your cabinets, allowing you to invest more of your budget into other upgrades that enhance the space even further.
Do you spray the cabinet frames the same way you spray the doors and drawers?
Yes. As a professional cabinet refinishing company, we spray your cabinet structure and frames using high-end professional spray equipment—the same standard of finish we apply to your doors and drawers. We do not use brushes or rollers on your cabinet structure.
This allows us to achieve a smoother, cleaner, more consistent finish with a true cabinet-grade look. Spraying helps eliminate brush marks and roller texture, giving your kitchen a more refined, factory-like appearance that is built to stand out.
Will my home smell like chemicals during the refinishing process?
We take indoor air quality and home protection very seriously. Our refinishing process uses low-VOC products designed to minimize odours inside your home. Before work begins, we carefully seal off the kitchen with protective plastic barriers to help isolate the work area from the rest of the house.
Our sanding equipment is connected to vacuum and filtration systems to help control dust, and during spraying, we use ventilation and exhaust fans to direct odours outside your house. This helps reduce disruption, control dust, and create a cleaner refinishing experience compared to standard painting methods.
How do I schedule a free estimate?
