1 — Kitchen decision guide

Refinish vs replace

Most Bay Area kitchens we see do not need new boxes. If the cabinets are square, the doors still hang, and you dislike the color or the wear, refinishing is usually the better spend. Replacement wins when the boxes themselves have failed.

2 — Bathroom decision guide

Tub refinish vs replace

If the tub is still holding water and the floor around it is solid, refinishing is almost always the cheaper, faster fix. Replacement is for failed plumbing, a soft subfloor, or a tub you cannot live with in this footprint.

3 — Pricing guide

Kitchen refinishing cost

Door count, condition, and sheen drive the number - not a Facebook coupon. A compact condo kitchen and a 30-door Peninsula kitchen are different jobs. The ranges below are planning numbers; the written estimate is the one that counts.

4 — Timeline guide

How long it takes

Kitchens take 3-7 days. Bathtubs are done the same day and ready for regular use in 24 hours. Those numbers are the ones we put on the site because they are the ones we run in Santa Clara and across the Bay Area - not a '3-5 day' marketing window.

5 — Hiring guide

How to choose a refinisher

Anyone can spray a door. The difference is prep, the coating system, whether they will stand behind it for years, and whether they tell you when replacement is the better spend. Use this list before you send a deposit.

6 — Before you book

What the estimate includes

The estimate is not a sales pitch with a clipboard. It is a measure, a look at whether the boxes and the tub are even candidates, color samples in your light, and a written number. No work starts until you say so.
