Cabinet Refinishing FAQ for High Park Homeowners
Answers to the questions we hear most often
How long does cabinet refinishing take?
Most kitchen cabinet projects in High Park take 5 to 8 days from door removal to final reinstallation. This includes proper drying time between coats. We work efficiently while ensuring each coat cures fully for a durable finish. This is exactly why young families, professionals, dog owners, park enthusiasts in High Park keep coming back to us for repeat work.
Is cabinet refinishing cheaper than replacing?
Yes, significantly. Cabinet refinishing typically costs 70 to 80 percent less than full replacement while delivering a completely transformed look. For Edwardian semis in High Park, it is one of the highest-value kitchen upgrades you can make. We've handled this across High Park, from Roncesvalles Avenue to Indian Road, and our approach is proven.
What paint do you use on cabinets?
Benjamin Moore Advance is our go-to for cabinet work. It levels to a factory-smooth finish, resists yellowing and chipping, and provides the durability kitchen cabinets demand. For high-use areas, we may recommend Scuff-X. We've handled this across High Park, from Roncesvalles Avenue to Indian Road, and our approach is proven.
Can you change the color of my cabinets?
Absolutely. We can go from dark oak to bright white, natural wood to navy blue, or any color you choose. With proper prep and the right primer, we can refinish virtually any cabinet material to any color.
Will the paint chip or peel off?
Based on our experience along Roncesvalles Avenue and across High Park: not with our process. Proper degreasing, sanding, and adhesion primer are the keys to a finish that lasts. We use cabinet-specific products and techniques that create a bond stronger than the original factory finish.
Do you refinish bathroom vanities too?
Yes. Bathroom vanities, laundry room cabinets, and built-in shelving all get the same professional treatment as kitchen cabinets. We use moisture-resistant finishes for bathroom and laundry applications.
Can I use my kitchen during the project?
Partially. Your countertops and appliances remain usable throughout most of the process. Only the final day of reinstallation requires the kitchen to be clear. We coordinate timing to minimize disruption.
What warranty covers cabinet refinishing?
