Our experience with various woods ensures optimal results regardless of your cabinet species.

Cabinet Refinishing Questions Answered

Common questions about refinishing wood cabinets

How much does cabinet refinishing cost?

Cabinet refinishing typically costs $4,000-$8,000 for average kitchens, varying based on cabinet quantity, wood condition, and finish complexity. Refinishing costs more than painting due to stripping labor but less than replacement. Factors affecting price include number of cabinet doors and drawers, extent of damage repair needed, stain color change complexity, topcoat type, and whether cabinet boxes are refinished. Call 972-670-7694 for specific pricing for your Plano kitchen.

Refinishing maintains natural wood grain and character while updating color and protection. Wood remains visible with enhanced beauty. Painting covers wood completely with opaque colored finish, hiding grain. Choose refinishing when you love wood character and want to preserve it, when cabinets are quality hardwood worth showcasing, or when matching existing wood elsewhere in home. Choose painting for dramatic color changes or covering lower-quality wood.
Cabinet refinishing requires 7-10 business days typically, more time than painting due to stripping and multiple topcoat drying requirements. Timeline includes 1-2 days for stripping and preparation, 1-2 days for staining with drying time, and 3-4 days for multiple topcoats with drying between. Larger kitchens or extensive repairs extend timeline. Kitchen remains partially functional as doors are removed for shop work.
Yes, color changes are possible within wood tone ranges. We can go significantly darker, lighten somewhat with proper prep, change undertones from orange to brown, or update golden oak to contemporary grays. Dramatic lightening of very dark stains requires bleaching. We show samples in your lighting helping select achievable, beautiful options for your Kings Gate or Willow Bend kitchen.
Professional refinishing with quality topcoats is extremely durable, lasting 15-20 years with proper care. Modern polyurethanes and conversion varnishes resist scratches, moisture, and heat, clean easily with mild soap and water, and maintain appearance through daily kitchen use. Durability matches or exceeds original factory finishes when professional products and techniques are used.
Refinish when cabinet boxes are solid and well-constructed, you appreciate natural wood character, layout and storage function well, and budget is limited. Replace when cabinet boxes are damaged or poor quality, you need different layout or storage, you prefer painted finish over wood, or doors and drawers are damaged beyond repair. We help evaluate your cabinets’ refinishing suitability.

Yes, we repair wood damage including filling scratches and gouges with color-matched fillers, regluing loose joints and veneer, replacing damaged individual doors if needed, and repairing water damage and stains. Minor damage is routinely repairable. Extensive damage may indicate replacement is more appropriate. We assess during consultation recommending best approach.

We can refinish all wood species including oak, maple, cherry, walnut, birch, and mahogany. Each requires specific staining techniques. Mixed woods in one kitchen require careful stain selection and technique ensuring uniform appearance across different species. Our experience with various woods ensures beautiful results regardless of cabinet materials.

Interior refinishing is optional. Glass-front cabinet interiors should be refinished for finished appearance. Standard closed interiors are typically not refinished as this adds significant cost without visible benefit. However, some homeowners prefer complete refinishing. We discuss options recommending best value for your situation and goals.

No, true refinishing applies only to real wood cabinets. Laminate and thermofoil are synthetic surfaces without wood grain. These cabinets can be painted with proper preparation and bonding primers, but not stained or refinished in the traditional sense. We evaluate cabinet construction determining whether refinishing, painting, or replacement is most appropriate.

Maintenance involves cleaning with mild dish soap and soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbers, wiping spills promptly, using trivets and hot pads near cabinets, and applying furniture polish occasionally if desired. Proper care maintains beautiful refinished cabinets for decades. We provide detailed maintenance instructions upon completion.

Yes, refreshed wood cabinets enhance home value and appeal. Updated finishes in contemporary colors attract buyers, restored wood showcases quality construction, and well-maintained kitchens suggest overall home care. In Plano’s competitive market, beautiful natural wood cabinets distinguish properties positively. Investment in refinishing typically returns 80-100% when selling.
