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

November 30, 2023

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…
