About us

WE RESTORE CABINET FINISHES AFFORDABLY: Stained, Painted, Whitewashed & Pickled. We DO NOT change colors on or Reface cabinets. We do restore cabinet & interior wood finishes to their original beauty. We use durable finishes that are guaranteed! Hi, I’m Jim the “Gleam Guard Man.” My Father was a home builder, he trained me in wood refinishing back in 1964. I’ve seen a lot of industry changing things but never anything quite like Gleam Guard. Eliminating the Dust & the Mess and cutting 75% of the time and Cost without compromising quality is simply astounding! The Gleam Guard Process is an “Innovative Chemical Technology” made possible by years of experience and use of our foundation of green chemicals! (Of course, they are a trade secret.) These factors enable us to truly and durably restore the beauty of your woodwork and guarantee it without the mess, smell and expense of stripping or sanding! Four Step Process 1. Cleaning: Our trained servicemen remove all grease, oil, food & smudges left behind from cooking & oiling the woodwork. This is accomplished with a pleasant smelling industrial grade citrus product and LOTS OF ELBOW GREASE. This step will microscopically etch your original finish assuring adhesion of our finish. 2. Repair: Damage from nicks and scratches, peeling or flaking from water and heat are touched up or filled in with appropriate stains, colors & wood fillers. 3. If your finish has peeled off or has been steamed away an extremely durable finish is applied in those areas to build it up and to assure a strong foundation. 4. Gleam Guard Protective Shield: We apply six to eight coats of our final finish formula to protect and restore a “like new” & lasting appearance. (Our finish is unlike anything you’ve seen or worked with. It doesn't yellow, it doesn't smell and it dries incredibly fast and it's super easy to keep clean.)

3 Days before Thanksgiving 2015 Gleam Guard came to refinish our kitchen cabinets.

The father and son team were remarkable, and very professional. I have lived in the Ozarks of Missouri for the past 16 years, and I have never been more happy about paying a contractor for there work as I was paying for this job well done by these two men.

Thank you both,

Steve Clarke

It was okay. They were good. I liked them and the work they did. The only complaint was the owner talked too much. He likes to talk about his family being away from him. He was very responsive.

Not knowing how to solve the cabinet and wood work issues of our 25 year old home has paralyzed me from decorating.  But not anymore!  I can move ahead now!  I am absolutely thrilled with our refinished cabinets, woodwork and windows as well as Jim and Michael Urban's work and the amazing new technology of Gleam Guard!  Thank you!

The job was generally well done.  We asked for some extra work to be done after we saw the quality of the work we had contracted for.  The price was a bit more than I wanted to pay but it was probably worth it as the almost 20-year old oak cabinets looked like new.

Tim called when he arrived promptly at the agreed upon start time, worked hard until lunch time, took a short break and then returned to finish up for the day. The whole process for our large kitchen took 2 days.

Overall, it was a superior experience from the time I submitted the coupon for the work on Angie's List, to the finish of my project in the home.
Response from Cabinet Refinishing Center by Gleam Guard
"Thanks Member, I appreciate the opportunity to serve you andI look forward to your return and refinishing your kitchen. Just a note for the interested. I was indeed late, though I did call twice. I came on "Labor Day" when we are normally closed because they would not be back in town at their vacation house for another two months. I was late because my morning customer liked my work so much he kept adding extra pieces to refinish. Punctuality is always very important to me, so is customer service that's why I gave up the "Holiday" with my family to be there the only day they could see me. Always a pleasure to serve, Jim"

They did a pretty good job.  They did miss a couple of spots, but I will be calling him to have him touch those up.  I am waiting because we are redoing our kitchen.

Jim had to try several different techniques to cover some of the scratches  and water damage.  He didn't give up until it looked great.  He takes great pride in his workmanship.

It was very reasonable and the cabinets were looking old, worn, and the surface was coming off without any spraying or sanding he made them look almost brand new.
