Get matched with top cabinet refacers and refinishers in Hooper, NE

Small to medium-sized cabinetry typically takes three to five days, whereas large cabinetry takes around seven days. The complete process includes:

• Removing cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware.

• Removing the existing stain or paint.

• Sanding cabinet frames, doors, and drawers.

• Staining each side of the cabinetry one at a time. You’ll have to wait for the first side to dry before staining the other side.

• Waiting for the doors, drawers, and frames to dry fully.

• Reattaching hardware and hinges.

• Putting the doors and drawers back on the cabinet boxes.

A few things can indicate cabinet refinishing is a good idea, but the most obvious is any sign of water or steam damage. If the existing paint on your cabinets starts to bubble or flake, it could indicate that water or humidity from cooking or surrounding plumbing fixtures or showers is causing damage. Refinishing can add a protective layer to prevent further issues. You should also consider refinishing every eight to ten years, if your cabinet color or finish is outdated, or if you have scratches or scuffs on the faces.

It is possible to refinish your own cabinets, but it’s usually a better idea to leave the work to a cabinetry professional. Refinishing cabinets is a time- and labor-intensive process that involves stripping the old finish off, sanding down every face of the cabinets and doors, and then adding multiple coats of paint and protective finish. Not only is this hard work, but getting the final product to look clean and professional is challenging. An expert will be able to make quick work of the project and leave you with a final product you’ll love.
