What to Expect From Your Cabinet Refinishing Project

Refinishing your kitchen cabinets is an effective way to rejuvenate your kitchen's appearance without the substantial expense and disruption of a full renovation. Understanding the refinishing process can help set realistic expectations and ensure a smooth experience.

1. Requesting Your Quote

• Photograph Your Cabinets: Take photos of your cabinets to show the layout of your cabinets, including close-ups of any significant damage or areas of concern.
• Provide Details: Include the total count of doors and drawers, the desired refinishing service (paint, stain, hardware updates), and your contact information.
• Submit Information: Send the photos and details via email or text to getmyquote@zachsrefinishing.com OR (770)-206-7628
• You'll receive a detailed quote outlining the total cost, approximate completion time, and additional information about the process.

2. Preparation and Removal

Once you've approved the quote and scheduled the service:

• Door and Drawer Removal: Your cabinet doors and drawer fronts are removed and transported to our workshop for refinishing. This approach ensures a controlled environment for achieving a flawless finish and allows you to continue using your kitchen during this phase. The door/drawer removal takes 1-2 hours to complete & you may leave everything inside your cabinets.

3. Refinishing Process

The refinishing involves several meticulous steps:

• Cleaning and Sanding: Each piece is thoroughly cleaned and sanded to remove grease and prepare the surface.
• Priming: A primer coat is applied to enhance adhesion and durability of the subsequent layers.
• Fine Sanding, Caulking & Repairs: Light sanding between coats to ensure smoothness, Seams caulked where applicable & damaged areas filled/repaired.
• Color Application: Multiple coats of your chosen colors are sprayed on which are water and UV-resistant

4. In-Home Frame Refinishing

With doors and drawers being refinished offsite, attention turns to the cabinet frames:

• Preparation: Areas around the cabinets, including floors, countertops, walls, appliances, and cabinet interiors (if requested), are meticulously taped off to protect from overspray. Plastic sheeting with zipper doors is installed in entryways to contain dust and debris
• Refinishing: The same cleaning, sanding, priming, & color application are applied to the cabinet frames

This in-home phase typically takes 2-4 days to complete, depending on kitchen size and desired finish.

5. Reassembly and Cleanup

After the refinishing:

• Reinstallation: Doors and drawer fronts are reattached, hardware is reinstalled, and new felt bumpers are applied to ensure smooth operation.
• Cleanup: The workspace is thoroughly cleaned, leaving your kitchen spotless and ready for use

6. Materials and Techniques

We use advanced waterborne lacquers that are low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and virtually odorless, eliminating the need to vacate your home during the process. These finishes are durable, resisting brittleness over time. Application is performed using high-volume, low-pressure (HVLP) turbine sprayers, ensuring a smooth, brush-mark-free finish.

7. Warranty and Financing

We stand behind our work with a six-year warranty, reflecting confidence in the durability of our finishes. We also offer financing options, including no-interest plans if paid in full within 24 months, making the investment more manageable

Conclusion

Refinishing your kitchen cabinets is a cost-effective and efficient way to enhance your home's aesthetic and value. By understanding the process and choosing experienced professionals you can achieve a durable, high-quality finish that revitalizes your kitchen space.
