What Are Common Signs It’s Time To Get Your Cabinets Refinished?

Cabinet refinishing is typically warranted when the surface finish has broken down, but the cabinet boxes and structural components are still intact.

Look for these common indicators:

• Worn or peeling finish
• Discoloration or yellowing
• Chalky or dull surfaces

• Stained wood grain
• Outdated stain or paint color

How Are Cabinets Refinished?

When we refinish cabinets, the process depends on the look you want. We can apply a stain if you want the wood grain to show through or use a painted finish for a color update. For something more detailed, a glaze can be added over the stain or paint to give the cabinets extra depth and texture.

To protect the finish, we apply varnish topcoats that hold up well against moisture, heat, and everyday wear. If you're looking for a lower-VOC option that’s still highly durable, we also use waterborne UV-cured finishes, which cure quickly and perform exceptionally in high-traffic kitchens.

These details will be reviewed during your consultation, during which we’ll collaborate to determine the most suitable refinishing approach for your space.

Cabinet Refinishing vs. Replacement: When Is Refinishing Better?

Refinishing is ideal when cabinet boxes are structurally sound—particularly in hardwood or MDF construction that shows no signs of water intrusion, rot, or warping. In these cases, there’s no need for demolition, plumbing adjustments, or new millwork fabrication.

Instead, a comparable visual result is achieved using advanced surface preparation, HVLP spray systems, and commercial-grade coatings. By preserving existing materials and reducing landfill waste, refinishing becomes a faster, more sustainable, and cost-effective alternative to complete replacement—without compromising on finish quality.

How Long Does It Take To Refinish Cabinets?

Refinishing cabinets isn’t a quick coat-and-go job—it’s a detailed, multi-step process that adjusts based on the size and scope of the project. Factors such as the number of cabinets, the condition of the existing finishes, and the complexity of the desired result all influence the overall turnaround.
