Q: What kind of paint should I use on veneer cabinets?

• <div><p>For a smooth and long-lasting finish, opt for an 100 percent acrylic, semi gloss latex self-leveling paint. There are many brands and types of paint to choose from, so do research before deciding which one is best for your project. Some paints even have qualities that might save you time. For example, some paints have primer so you can skip priming separately and start painting right away. </p></div>

Q: How long do stained cabinets last?

• <div><p>With the proper maintenance and care, stained cabinets can last for <b>30 years</b>. You&rsquo;ll need to properly clean your stained cabinets with a gentle mixture of vinegar and warm water and repair minor cracks and scratches when required. As long as you commit to maintaining stained wood cabinets, you can enjoy their beauty for many years to come. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to sand cabinets before staining?

• <div><p>Yes, sanding cabinets before you stain them helps the new stain better adhere to the surface. If you&rsquo;re adding a darker stain to previously stained wood, you only have to sand them lightly enough to remove any finish and rough up the wood to improve adhesion. On the other hand, if you&rsquo;re trying to stain wood that is a darker color or that has paint on it, you need to sand down to the original wood, or the color will show through the new stain.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to refinish kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Cabinet refinishing takes an average of two to three days. The process includes setting up and removing cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware, followed by cleaning, stripping, and sanding cabinets. You or your pro will have to address issues like chips, stains, or splits before applying paint or stain. Then the final stage includes painting or staining, reassembling cabinets, and cleaning up.</p></div>

Q: Can resurfacing or refacing be a DIY project?

• <div><p>While certain kits make DIY possible, professionals ensure durability and quality of finish, which is vital for high-moisture areas like baths.</p></div>
