Cabinet Refinishing

Painting kitchen cabinets is an art. Cabinetry generally encompasses more space in a kitchen than do visible walls. Hence, they are the primary attention grabber. An attractive finish on your cabinetry is essential for a beautiful kitchen.

There are many options – more than you may know.

Painting – Standard white is probably the most common, and often we simply spruce up the existing with a fresh coat of paint. Maybe because white is so common, I prefer doing other things. One of my recent favorites was painting cabinets with Ben Moore’s Bronzetone. The kitchen had ample sunlight and nine-foot ceilings so it worked very well.

Staining – For stained cabinets, a fresh coat of polyurethane can go a long way.  If the finish is marred or worn or a new color is desired, applying a coat of gel stain and poly can add new life.

Specialty – The most attractive cabinet finishes I’ve seen and applied have a combination of elements. Two different stains, a base and a wash, adds interest and depth. My favorite method begins with a base of paint (many color options, regular or metallic) then has a stain or paint wash applied followed by a coat of polyurethane.

Regardless of your preferences, we can beautify your existing cabinets for a lot less than the cost of new.
