A cabinet refinishing project with a professional typically starts at $2,500. The determining factors include size, condition, and custom pieces if they are needed. Contractors may ask for up to 50% upfront. A great way to get your homes’ Kitchen in Pasadena up to date without the full cost of cabinet replacement is a cabinet refinishing project.

Here are the steps to a cabinet refinishing project:
Remove Cabinet Doors & Shelves
A team will come in and remove doors, drawers, and shelves. Any necessary carpentry and cutting of new pieces will be done now.
Preparation
The cabinets will be sanded and cleaned. Contact paper or other adhesions will be removed.
Priming
Cabinets should be primed with a high-quality cabinet-grade primer. Make sure you cover the entire surface with primer to create a good bond.
Base
You will need to get a specialty paint designed for cabinetry work. The paint is extremely high quality and can withstand the knocks and bangs a kitchen cabinet might take daily. It’s more durable than other paints on the market.
Top Coat Application
A protective topcoat is applied. Again, because kitchen cabinets are used often and harshly, a top coat will save your paint from chipping and cracking making a durable finish.
