Frequently Asked Questions About Cabinet Repainting, Refinishing & Refacing
1. What is the difference between cabinet repainting, refinishing, and refacing?
If you're looking to update your kitchen or bathroom cabinets, it’s important to understand the differences between cabinet repainting, refinishing, and refacing:
Cabinet Repainting: We give your cabinets a fresh, new look by applying high-quality paint in your desired color. It’s the ideal solution for homeowners looking to update their existing cabinet color without changing the structure.
Cabinet Refinishing: Refinishing involves stripping the existing finish, sanding, and then applying a new stain or protective coating to restore and enhance the original wood. This is perfect for wood cabinets that are still in great condition but need a facelift.
Cabinet Refacing: Cabinet refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts, while covering the cabinet boxes with a new material (such as wood veneer or laminate). Refacing is an excellent option if you want a completely new look for your cabinets without the expense of full replacement.
2. Which cabinet service is best for me: repainting, refinishing, or refacing?
Choosing between cabinet repainting, refinishing, and refacing depends on the condition of your cabinets and your desired outcome:
Repainting: Opt for repainting if your cabinets are in good structural condition but you want a new color or finish.
Refinishing: Choose refinishing if you have wood cabinets that are worn or outdated but you love the natural wood look and want to preserve it.
Refacing: If you want a brand-new style for your cabinets but want to avoid the cost of full replacement, refacing is a great choice. It’s perfect if your cabinet boxes are still solid but you want modern, updated doors and finishes.
3. How long will cabinet repainting, refinishing, or refacing take?
Cabinet Repainting: Typically takes 3–5 days depending on the size of your kitchen or bathroom.
Cabinet Refinishing: Usually completed in 4–6 days. The process involves careful sanding and finishing, so it may take slightly longer than repainting.
Cabinet Refacing: Generally takes 5–7 days, depending on the complexity of the project and the materials selected.
4. Is cabinet repainting, refinishing, or refacing more affordable than full cabinet replacement?
Yes, all three services are more cost-effective than replacing cabinets:
Cabinet repainting and refinishing can save you up to 70% of the cost of full cabinet replacement.
Cabinet refacing generally costs about 30–50% less than completely replacing your cabinets with new ones, making it a smart choice if you want a fresh look without the hefty price tag.
5. Can I still use my kitchen or bathroom while my cabinets are being repainted, refinished, or refaced?
In most cases, yes! We strive to minimize disruptions during your cabinet transformation:
Cabinet repainting and refinishing are relatively quick processes, so your kitchen or bathroom remains functional throughout.
Cabinet refacing usually requires a bit more time, but we work efficiently to ensure minimal disruption to your daily routine.
