Is it better to strip or sand kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>When deciding between stripping or sanding kitchen cabinets, the short answer is it depends on the condition of your cabinets and your end goal for them. If the cabinets are in fairly good condition and don’t have several layers of paint on them, sanding is a good option. On the other hand, older cabinets with more blemishes or marks will benefit from paint stripping, since it will give any future finishes a clean slate. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain installed cabinets?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, avoid harsh chemicals, and check hinges for proper alignment to ensure longevity.</p></div>

Q: Can I still refinish my cabinets without wax and orange oil?

• <div><p>Yes, you can refinish cabinets without wax or orange oil. The refinishing product will work regardless of wax and oil coats, but it might not shine as much. Adding a coat of penetrating oil will bring out the grain in the wood, and the wax will help prevent wear. Also, the protective qualities of wax and oil for hardwood make it a good idea to incorporate into the restoration process.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over stained cabinets without sanding?

• <div><p>Technically, you can paint over stained cabinets without sanding. There are specialty paints that are made precisely for not sanding cabinets. However, many interior cabinet paints work just as well. </p><p>To make sure you have a smooth surface without sanding, you&rsquo;ll need to degrease the cabinets thoroughly, add a bonding coat for strength, add primer, and then finally paint your cabinets. It&rsquo;s still a process regardless of whether you sand your cabinets.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint cabinets myself, or should I hire a professional?

• <div><p>DIY is possible with proper preparation and equipment, but a professional painter ensures smoother finishes, especially for intricate cabinetry.</p></div>

They had a guy there, by the name of Dennis Webber, and he was the architect. He sat down at a computer screen, drew up a 3D animation of what the cabinets will look like and it’s exactly what they look like. That was probably one of the neatest features that I’ve seen. Instead of drawing you a...
