About Our Work in Berkeley
Berkeley housing is mostly pre-war — Craftsman bungalows, Brown Shingles, and a heavy concentration of original built-in cabinetry that’s simply not produced anymore. The right play here is almost always refinishing rather than replacement, because the cabinets are higher quality than anything you can buy off the shelf today. We work carefully around the original detailing and use coatings compatible with old finishes.

Reviews
“Would highly recommend! We had this company come out and refinish a 1920 bathtub. It looks absolutely fantastic. He was in and out in four hours. The cleanup was impeccable. Great job!”
“These guys are absolutely terrific! Azamat and Gleb completely transformed our kitchen cabinets. I’m an interior designer and I’ve rarely come across such a meticulous, high-quality job. Our kitchen truly looks brand new — you can’t even tell these are old cabinets. I would absolutely recommend them without hesitation.”
“Azamat and his friend did an excellent job repainting our kitchen cabinet. Exceptional quality, on-time, and they took care of the surroundings. Each day they cleaned up before going. They also covered the entire kitchen to prevent any dust or paint spray spreading. Their pricing was also competitive.”

FAQ
Common questions from Berkeley homeowners considering refinishing.
Yes — original built-ins are some of our most rewarding Berkeley work. We hand-detail the original beadwork and corner joinery, refinish in place where the cabinet is fixed, and use a coating layer compatible with the lead-paint-era substrate underneath.
Hillside access is routine. We walk every Berkeley Hills job in advance and plan equipment and material staging for the site. Off-site door finishing reduces the on-site equipment load where needed.
Costs vary by size and finish, but refinishing typically saves 60-70% vs full replacement. Bathtubs run $1.2K-$3K; full kitchen cabinet refinishing $4K-$8K. Call (669) 231-9510 for a free, no-obligation estimate.
