How do you paint particle board cabinets without sanding?

• <div><p>If you prefer not to sand your particle board cabinets prior to painting, you can use mineral spirits and a rough sponge to add some grit to your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-mdf.htm">medium-density fiberboard cabinets</a> so that the paint will still stick. Keep in mind that using 120-grit sandpaper is still the preferred method for preparing your particle board cabinets for a new coat of paint.</p></div>

Q: Can pros change the stain color during refinishing?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals can change the stain color during refinishing by stripping old finishes and applying new stain. They offer expert color matching and application methods, resulting in a refreshed look that aligns with the homeowner's design preferences.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to seal cabinets after staining?

• <div><p>Sealing a cabinet after staining is optional but recommended for best results. Wood sealer keeps out moisture, which protects against scratches, warping, chipping, discoloration, and mildew. Sealer not only preserves the appearance of wood furniture but, like staining, enhances it by accentuating the wood&rsquo;s natural color and grain. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to refinish cabinets?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-refinish-cabinets.htm">cost of cabinet refinishing</a> is <b>$3,000</b> on average but can range between <b>$700 to $6,000</b> or more, depending on the size of your cabinets and their location in your home. Since kitchen cabinets are often much larger than other cabinets in your home, the cost of refinishing these is higher than others, ranging from <b>$1,500 to $5,000</b>. In contrast, smaller bathroom cabinets cost an average of <b>$200 to $2,000</b> to refinish. The refinishing method also impacts the total cost, with cabinet staining being the most cost-effective option, from <b>$4 to $10 per square foot</b>. </p></div>

Q: Do cabinet makers still exist?

• <div><p>Yes, cabinet makers continue to fabricate custom kitchen and other household cabinets for new construction homes. Cabinet makers also replace and renovate existing kitchen cabinets. The cost tends to be higher than choosing manufactured cabinets from a major retailer, but you get the cabinets specially designed and made to fit the unique needs of your space. </p></div>
