Common Questions
Cabinet Refinishing FAQ
The most common questions Hamilton homeowners ask before refinishing their kitchen cabinets.
How long does cabinet refinishing take?
Most kitchens are completed in a matter of days, not the weeks a full replacement can take. The exact timeline depends on the size of your kitchen, and we confirm it with you before we start.
How much does refinishing cost compared with replacement?
Refinishing typically costs 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 oak cabinets?
Yes. Oak is one of the most common cabinets we refinish. With proper prep and cabinet-grade coatings we can smooth the grain and give the cabinets a clean, updated finish.
Can you change my cabinets from dark to white?
Absolutely. Dark-to-white transformations are one of our most popular requests. Careful prep, primer, and a sprayed cabinet-grade finish deliver a bright, even result that looks factory-made.
Will the finish chip or peel over time?
Our process uses careful prep, primer, and a sprayed cabinet-grade finish built for daily kitchen use. The result is far more durable than ordinary brushed wall paint and is backed by our workmanship warranty.
Do you spray or brush the finish?
We spray a cabinet-grade finish for a smooth, even surface without the brush marks and texture of a basic paint job. Spraying is what gives refinished cabinets their factory-style look.
Do I need to empty my cabinets before you start?
We ask that you empty the cabinet interiors so we can work safely and protect your belongings. We handle removing, labelling, and reinstalling all doors, drawers, and hardware.
