Instant Estimate
Count your cabinet doors and drawer fronts, pick a color plan, and see a planning range in seconds. The free in-home estimate confirms the exact number.
Count every door and every drawer front, including the island and pantry. Not sure? A standard L-shaped kitchen has 18–26.
Your planning range
Planning range only. Heavy grease build-up, peeling laminate, or water damage can add prep time — we tell you at the visit, never after.
Scope of Work
Everything with a painted face. If it’s wood, MDF, laminate or thermofoil and the box is sound, we can refinish it.
Removed, labeled, degreased, sanded and sprayed in multiple thin coats at our shop or your garage. Reinstalled and aligned.
Shop or on-siteFinished in place with the kitchen fully masked and vented. Same coating, same color — no visible seam between door and frame.
On-siteEnd panels, back panels and seating overhangs. Two-tone islands are our most requested upgrade.
Two-tone readyTall pantry units, desk hutches, and bar cabinets finished to match the kitchen run.
Bonding primer for laminate and thermofoil is part of our standard prep, not an upgrade. Peeling film is repaired first.
Special primerShelves, mullions and interiors of glass-front cabinets sprayed so the inside matches the outside.
Pick a Color
Tap a swatch to try it. We match any brand code you bring — these are simply the ones we spray most.
How It Works
Most kitchens run five working days. You keep your sink, fridge and stove the whole time.
Day 0
We count doors, check the boxes, bring color decks and a sprayed sample card. You get a written fixed price the same day.
Your home · 45 minDay 1
Floors, counters and appliances are masked. Every door and drawer front is numbered, hardware bagged, and taken to the shop.
Your homeDay 2–3
Grease and old finish come off. Fill, sand, bonding primer. This is the step cheap jobs skip — and why they peel.
Shop + on-siteDay 3–5
Multiple thin coats of professional-grade cabinet enamel, sprayed — never brushed. Frames finished in your kitchen under ventilation.
Shop + on-siteDay 5–7
Doors rehung and aligned, hardware back on, masking down, full clean. We walk the kitchen with you and hand over the warranty.
Your homeDoors travel, frames stay. Doors and drawer fronts get the best finish in a controlled spray booth at our Santa Clara shop. Frames and boxes are finished in place — masked, vented, and dust-free.
Honest Comparison
Same 22-door kitchen, three ways to do it. Refinishing wins when the boxes are square and the doors still hang — which is most Bay Area kitchens we see.

FAQ
Straight answers from a Bay Area refinishing team homeowners trust.
Most kitchens are completed in 3–7 business days depending on size and finish. We confirm your exact timeline before starting.
Yes. We work at our shop or right at your home — whichever is most convenient. With proper masking and protection, most clients cook and live in their home throughout the project.
We spray — always. Doors and drawer fronts go through a spray booth at our shop; frames are sprayed in place under ventilation. Spraying is what gives the factory-smooth surface with no brush marks or roller texture.
Yes. We can match any Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, or RAL color. Whites, greys, navy, and warm neutrals are common. Bring the color code or a sample and we spray a sample card before production. Fully custom colors may add 1–2 days for prep.
Only if you want the interiors painted, which most clients skip. For a standard job we mask the openings and your dishes stay where they are. We do ask you to clear the counters on day one.
With proper care, professional-grade cabinet coatings last 10–15 years. We use premium finishes that cure to a hard, durable shell — far more resilient than DIY brush-on paint.
We refinish wood, MDF, and laminate cabinets. Solid wood and MDF doors take a sprayed finish beautifully, and for laminate we use a special bonding primer as part of our standard prep. Not sure what your cabinets are made of? We’ll identify the material at your free estimate.
Hardware removal and reinstall is included. If you want to upgrade to new hardware we can coordinate that — just let us know at the estimate visit.
They stay. Counters, backsplash, sink and appliances are masked with paper and plastic and never touched. That’s the whole point of refinishing over replacing.
Yes — a written 5-year finish warranty against peeling, cracking and yellowing under normal household use, plus a workmanship guarantee: if something isn’t right, we come back and fix it.
