Cabinet refinishing, factory-smooth.

If your kitchen layout works but the cabinets look tired, refinishing gets you a factory-sprayed finish for roughly 30% of the cost of new cabinets. Dated oak, maple, or laminate all take it well. We remove every door and drawer face, take them to our shop, sand, prime, spray in a controlled environment, and cure for 72 hours before reinstalling.

A standard Bellingham kitchen with 25-35 doors and drawers runs $2,750-$6,600 depending on finish choice and whether the boxes need sprayed (usually yes). Timeline is 5-7 days total, with 2-3 days where the kitchen is partially unusable. We tape off and protect everything else.

What it actually costs.

How the job goes.

1. In-home walkthrough

   We count doors and drawers, check cabinet condition, talk through finish options and color, and write you a quote.

2. Remove, label, transport

   Every door and drawer face is labeled, removed, and taken to our shop. Hardware is bagged and kept safe.

3. Prep, prime, spray, cure

   In the shop: sand, degrease, prime, spray 2-3 coats of urethane enamel, then cure for 72 hours.

4. Reinstall & final walk

   We spray the boxes in your kitchen, reinstall the cured doors, re-hang hardware, and walk every cabinet with you.
