Cabinet Refinishing in San Diego County

Refinishing cabinets is the single highest-ROI kitchen update. You keep the boxes, replace nothing structural, and walk away with a factory-smooth sprayed finish for a fraction of the cost of new cabinetry. The catch: it only looks factory-grade if it is sprayed, not brushed, with proper degreasing, sanding, and bonding primer. Brushed cabinet 'painting' is what gives the category a bad name.

Our cabinet process

Remove doors and drawers and label them. Degrease every surface (kitchen grease is the number-one adhesion killer). Sand and apply a bonding primer built for slick cabinet surfaces. Spray two finish coats in a controlled setup. Reinstall with new or existing hardware. The result is smooth, hard, and washable.

Why sprayed beats brushed

A brush leaves stroke marks on a surface you touch every day. Spraying lays a uniform, factory-smooth coat. We set up containment and spray on-site, or shop-spray doors where the situation calls for it. This is the difference between a refinish that looks new and one that looks repainted.

Refinish vs replace

If your cabinet boxes are solid and the layout works, refinishing saves a large fraction of a full cabinet replacement and takes far less time. If the boxes are failing or you want a new layout, replacement is the right call — and we do that too under kitchen remodeling. We give you the honest read.

Common Questions

Frequently asked.

Is refinishing cabinets cheaper than replacing them?
Substantially. Refinishing keeps your existing boxes and re-finishes the visible surfaces, which costs a fraction of new cabinetry and takes less time. It is the highest-ROI kitchen update when the boxes are sound.
Will painted cabinets hold up to daily use?
Yes, when done right — degreased, sanded, bonding-primed, and sprayed with a durable finish. The prep is what makes it last. A brushed, under-prepped cabinet job chips; a properly sprayed one wears like factory finish.
Do you spray or brush cabinets?
We spray. Spraying is the only way to get the factory-smooth, stroke-free finish that makes refinished cabinets look new. We set up proper containment to do it cleanly on-site or shop-spray the doors.
How long does cabinet refinishing take?
Scope-dependent on the number of doors and drawers and whether we spray on-site or in-shop. We set a written schedule up front. The kitchen is partially usable through most of the process.
