Cabinet refinishing, factory-smooth.

If your cabinet boxes are solid, refinishing gets you a new-looking kitchen for roughly 30% of the cost of new cabinets. Dated oak, maple, or laminate comes out with a finish that looks factory-sprayed because it is sprayed, in a shop, not brushed in your kitchen. We pull every door and drawer face, label them, sand, prime, spray, and cure for 72 hours before reinstalling.

A standard Asheville kitchen with 25-35 doors and drawers runs $3,300-$7,700 depending on finish choice and whether the boxes need sprayed (usually yes). Timeline is 5-7 days total, with 2-3 days where the kitchen is partially unusable. We tape off and protect everything else. Asheville's humidity matters here too: cure times stretch on muggy weeks, which is one more reason the doors cure in our shop instead of your house.

What it actually costs.

Our four-step process.

1. In-home assessment

   We count doors and drawers, assess cabinet condition, discuss finish options and color, and write a detailed quote.

2. Remove, label, transport

   Every door and drawer face is labeled, removed, and transported to our shop. Hardware is bagged and kept safe.

3. Prep, prime, spray, cure

   In our controlled shop: sand, degrease, prime, spray 2-3 coats of urethane enamel, then cure for 72 hours.

4. Reinstall & final walk

   We spray the boxes in your kitchen, reinstall the cured doors, re-hang hardware, and walk every cabinet with you.

Why hire professionals.

• 70% cost savings vs. full cabinet replacement
• Sprayed finish with no brush marks or roller texture
• 72-hour cure time in our controlled shop environment
• Urethane enamel resists chipping, greasing, and fingerprints
• Color consultation included at no extra charge

Frequently asked questions.
