Kitchen Cabinet Refinishing in Chula Vista, CA: Painting Isn’t Your Only Option!

Think­ing about updat­ing your kitchen for 2024? You aren’t alone! Our ser­vices are in high demand right now here in San Diego. 

As you weigh your options, you might be think­ing that you real­ly have two: a cab­i­net replacement/​renovation, or cab­i­net paint­ing. Both are fan­tas­tic! A remod­el pro­vides an oppor­tu­ni­ty to total­ly rethink and update your space, while cab­i­net paint­ing lets you work with what you have, sav­ing time and mon­ey while rad­i­cal­ly improv­ing your style. 

But your options don’t end there. 

You can also refin­ish your cab­i­nets, chang­ing the stain col­or. This is the per­fect choice if you pre­fer a more nat­ur­al look, let­ting that wood grain shine through, but maybe you’re tired of a dat­ed stain col­or and/​or worn surfaces. 

As a case in point, let’s dive into this cab­i­net refin­ish­ing project we just finished. 

Project Spot­light: Refin­ish­ing Kitchen Cab­i­nets in the Chu­la Vista Neighborhood

Your cab­i­nets are a good can­di­date if they’re in decent con­di­tion over­all (no major struc­tur­al prob­lems or dam­age), they meet your needs, and they’re worth invest­ing in. This client’s kitchen in Chu­la Vista checked every box. Here’s a look at what we were work­ing with…

BEFORE

Nice kitchen, plen­ty of stor­age, good lay­out… But the fin­ish was a lit­tle dat­ed for sure. 

So, how do we refin­ish kitchen cabinets?

• First, we get a close look at your kitchen, take mea­sure­ments, and hear more about your goals. 

• Next, we pro­vide a clear and detailed pro­pos­al. This includes exact­ly what’s involved, what you can expect, col­or spec­i­fi­ca­tions, and more.

• Once every­thing is approved and offi­cial­ly launched, we care­ful­ly pre­pare the envi­ron­ment to pro­tect your home and belongings. 

• Time for dis­as­sem­bly! Off come the doors and draw­er faces. In this case, we saved time and trans­porta­tion costs by set­ting up a refin­ish­ing sta­tion in the client’s garage. 

• All the sur­faces are metic­u­lous­ly prepped to remove the old fin­ish and make sure the wood is ready for the new. 

• As you click through the slideshow below, make sure to pause on the pho­tos that show our stain-match­ing in progress. This process is both a sci­ence and an art, call­ing for skill, expe­ri­ence, and total consistency. 

• After the refin­ish­ing is done, every­thing is rein­stalled and inspect­ed before the final cleanup.\
