Kitchen Cabinet and Built-In & Refinishers
Serving North Florida & South Georgia Area for Over 10 Years
Cabinet refinishing, whether painted or stained, is the most economical way to completely transform your kitchen. The process is usually a fraction of what it would cost to go through a full gut renovation.
A simple job can be completed on-site in as little as five days. For more detailed jobs, we can also spray finish cabinets off-site at our shop.
The Big Question:
How long will it take?
We understand how important your kitchen is—it’s the heart of the home. So we ensure clear communication with deadlines throughout our process.
We can achieve a true, pristine cabinetry-grade finish by spraying or for a faster, simpler job we can also achieve a “tip finish” that is hand crafted by brush, often in as little as five days.
When it comes to kitchens, a common question we get is:
Should I paint my cabinets white?
Below are some things to consider to help you make the best decision.
Painting your cabinets white: a dramatic before and after.
It wasn’t long ago that stained oak or maple cabinets were the go-to standard for just about any kitchen. The look of stained wood is generally warm and inviting, but it can also make a kitchen feel darker and smaller than it actually is. A fresh coat of paint and an inexpensive hardware swap can make a huge difference in your space.
White kitchen cabinets have been around for years and will be around for years to come for a good reason: it’s a timeless look that will never go out of style.
Are white painted cabinets durable?Will they show dirt?
Durability
When it comes to the durability of a paint job, two things matter significantly more than the color itself: were the right paints and materials chosen and was the surface properly prepared in advance?
There’s a lot more to paint than the color and the finish: types, hardness, bonding abilities… the list goes on. Certain paints are designed not only for certain applications but also to be used alongside other products (and the names aren’t always easy to understand—you won’t find many paints called “best kitchen cabinet paint” in the store).
Working with a professional, the better you’re able to describe the wear and tear you expect on your cabinets (are you a big cooker with a frequently hot and humid kitchen? do you have kids who love to play with markers? pets who love to play with anything?) the better they’ll be able to tailor a material selection that will keep your cabinets looking newer and beautiful for longer.
Should I paint my upper cabinets the same color as the lower cabinets?
Even just a few years ago, it was considered “daring” to experiment with painting your lower cabinets a different color from the uppers, but it’s become more common and it’s a style we love.
Not only does it add some visual interest to your kitchen, but it can be functional as well—painting your upper cabinets a lighter shade than your lower cabinets can give a feeling of lightness and space to your kitchen without having to lose the cabinets all together (open shelves have become increasingly popular in kitchens in recent years, but living with your dishes out in the open isn’t always as practical as it may sound attractive).
Dark blues, rich grays and muted greens for the lowers paired with light, cream or white uppers are some of the most common colors we see for two-tone cabinets.
