About Our Work in San Mateo

Refinishing for San Mateo
Homes & Bathrooms.

San Mateo runs across a wider range of housing than most Peninsula cities — pre-war Mediterraneans in Baywood and Aragon, mid-century ranches in Hillsdale, 1970s-80s condos near downtown. We refinish across all of it. Most of our San Mateo jobs are 20-30 door full-kitchen refinishes in the single-family stock and bathtub work in the older multi-unit buildings where replacement is logistically painful.

FAQ

San Mateo Refinishing
Questions.

Straight answers from a Bay Area refinishing team homeowners trust.

Do you refinish in a San Mateo multi-unit building or condo?

Yes — we handle elevator protection, HOA scheduling, and low-odor coatings appropriate for shared-wall units. Many of our bathtub jobs are in pre-war San Mateo buildings where replacement isn’t practical.

Can you refinish a pre-war San Mateo home without losing the original character?

Period work is a specialty — we preserve the original profile, hardware, and millwork detail and refinish to a finish appropriate to the home’s era. Mediterranean and Aragon-area homes are some of our most rewarding projects.

How much does kitchen cabinet or bathtub refinishing cost?

Every project is different, but refinishing typically costs 60–70% less than full replacement. Kitchen cabinet refinishing usually falls between $2,000–$5,000 depending on size, layout, and finish. Most bathtub and shower refinishing projects range from $500–$2,500. We provide free, no-obligation estimates throughout the Bay Area.

How long does a refinishing project take?

Kitchen cabinet refinishing typically takes 3–7 business days depending on project size and customization. Most bathtub refinishing projects are completed in a single day and ready for use within 24 hours. We always provide a clear timeline before work begins.

Do you refinish kitchen cabinets and bathtubs?

Yes. Kitchen cabinet refinishing is our core service — spray-finished doors and frames, hardware reinstall, and custom color matching. We also refinish bathtubs, showers, and tile with the same professional prep and commercial-grade coatings.

Will the refinished surfaces actually last?

Yes. With proper care, professionally refinished cabinets and tubs can last 10–15 years or longer. We use durable commercial-grade coatings designed for daily residential use and back our workmanship with a satisfaction guarantee.

Is cabinet or bathtub refinishing messy?

No. For kitchens we mask countertops, floors, and appliances; doors are often finished off-site so you can still use the space. For bathrooms we ventilate and protect tile and fixtures. We leave both areas clean when we are done.

Do you offer a warranty on your work?

Yes. Every refinishing project includes a 5-year workmanship warranty. If any finish issue occurs due to our application process during that period, we’ll promptly inspect it and make it right at no additional cost. Our goal is to ensure your refinished surfaces look beautiful and perform as expected for years to come.

What colors and finishes are available for cabinets and tubs?

For kitchens we match Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, or RAL colors in the sheen you want — whites, greys, and warm neutrals are most popular. For bathtubs and tile we offer white, bone, grey, beige, and custom colors. We bring samples to your free estimate.
