Cabinet Refinishing in Pasadena, CA

Posted on October 24, 2019

Does your kitchen need an update? The bill for new cabinets usually makes you think twice. Rather than consider replacement you get a completely new look with a cabinet refinishing project. Whether you do it yourself or hire a professional, you should expect the same basic steps and outcome.

With a professional, you should expect an in-home consultation with a full inspection of your current cabinets. Your representative will discuss the finish, process, and details with you. 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. The results of these projects can totally transform the look and feel of your kitchen.

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.
