Our Cabinet Refinishing Process
Cabinet refinishing is a specialty that requires different techniques than wall painting. We remove all doors, drawer fronts, and hardware. Every surface is degreased, sanded, and primed with bonding primer. Doors and drawer fronts are sprayed in a controlled environment for the smoothest possible finish. Cabinet boxes are carefully brushed and rolled on-site. Multiple coats of cabinet-grade enamel ensure durability and a factory-quality result.
Colors That Work in Kayenta Kitchens
Kayenta homes often feature warm, earthy interior palettes, exposed beams, natural stone, and built-in shelving that all need to work together. Popular cabinet colors include warm whites (Swiss Coffee, Simply White), warm grays (Revere Pewter, Agreeable Gray), sage greens, and deep blues that complement Southwestern tile and stone countertops. We also offer stained finishes that let wood grain show through — a natural choice for homes in an arts community that values craft and material honesty. Two-tone kitchens work well here too.
Common Scope Patterns We See
Most custom painted cabinet leads in this part of St George fall into three patterns: full kitchen cabinet resets, island and pantry runs that need to match an existing palette, and smaller vanity or built-in packages that still deserve the same sprayed finish and hardware alignment as the main rooms.
What Can Be Refinished
Most wood, MDF, and thermofoil cabinets in good structural condition are candidates for refinishing. If individual doors are warped or delaminating, those specific pieces can be replaced while the rest are refinished. We assess every cabinet during the estimate and provide an honest recommendation.
Products We Use
We use cabinet-specific paints formulated for hardness, adhesion, and daily wear. Benjamin Moore Advance and Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane are our primary choices — both self-level for a smooth finish and cure to a hard, durable surface that resists chipping, scratching, and yellowing over time.
Timeline & Kitchen Access
A typical kitchen refinishing takes 5–8 working days. Your kitchen remains mostly functional during the process — cabinet boxes stay accessible with open shelving while doors and drawers are being finished off-site. The final day covers reinstallation, hinge adjustments, and new hardware if desired.
If the rest of the home is being updated at the same time, see our interior painting, exterior painting, and stucco repair services for related scope.
