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: What type of paint is best for kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>When it comes to painting kitchen cabinets, most professionals tend to use latex paint. However, acrylic paint is also a great option, especially if you're working with wood. Along with the paint type, you'll also want to think about the finish. For kitchen cabinets, the best paint finishes are usually semi-gloss or high-gloss. These finishes are incredibly durable, which is important in high-traffic areas like kitchens. Matte finishes, on the other hand, are less durable.</p></div>

Q: What materials are commonly used in cabinet refinishing?

• <div><p>High-performance lacquers, paints, and glazes are common materials for refinishing.</p></div>

Q: What is liquid sandpaper, and does it work on cabinets?

• <div><p>Liquid sandpaper is a solvent used to soften existing layers of paint and make them porous enough that you can effectively apply a new coat of paint. You rub the liquid sandpaper on, wait for it to work, and wipe it off&mdash;no literal sanding is involved. Liquid sandpaper can save time and is helpful if parts of the cabinet are hard to reach with standard sandpaper. However, like paint stripper, liquid sandpaper creates dangerous fumes and must be used with care indoors. And unlike sanding, it can&rsquo;t fix any scratches or dings in your cabinets.</p></div>

Q: What cabinet finish stays the cleanest?

• <div><p>Due to frequent use, cabinet handles tend to get dirty no matter what. But if you&rsquo;re looking for the best options, stainless steel and pewter are both durable choices that are ready for the long haul with minimal cleaning needs. Brass tends to be the most demanding pick of metal hardware options.</p></div>

Overall, it went fabulously. This is a company that works mostly in Illinois. They send whoever they need to the job, and they stay until it's done -- no days being pulled to another job. They kept to their timeline, and had the work completed within 4 weeks -- it would have been 3 weeks,...
