Q: How is the cabinet refinishing process conducted?

• <div><p>The process involves cleaning surfaces, removing old finishes, sanding, applying new stains or paint, and sealing to protect, ensuring a rejuvenated appearance that lasts.</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 just paint over cabinets?

• <div><p>You can paint over wood, wood-laminate, and metal cabinets, but you need to prepare the surface first. Plastic laminate cabinets and thin veneers may accept a layer of paint depending on their condition, but they require special techniques and paints. If your cabinets sag or have significant damage, it may be a better investment to replace your cabinets than paint over them.</p></div>
