Why refinish? There are so many reason's, for one the price. Refinishing is 1/3 the price of refacing and more then 1/2 the cost of replacing. If your happy with your kitchen layout then why deal with the mess, cost and hassle? My clients refinish because their cabinets are solid wood but the they are oak or worn. The color is more traditional or modern then they want. Most of my clients are referrals, they did not even realize that this is an option.
How do I do it? To answer that I am going to provide you with an example, when you eat at a restaurant the food just taste better. A chef can take the same ingredients you use and prepare a meal that tastes better. Why? Put simply he/she is trained, they have ingredients that are professional grade. The meat they purchase is a much better grade then what is sold in your local supermarket. And so for the same reasons I can provide you with a beautiful factory like finish. I am using products that are for professionals only, I spray the finish (no brush strokes) and I use lacquer. Lacquer is what is used on factory finished cabinets. I do all the prep work to ensure the finish looks feels and lasts as long as newly installed cabinetry, I guarantee it!
What makes me an expert at refinishing your kitchen/bath cabinetry? I have been trained, am licensed and insured. The faux wood finish I provide is so realistic that it actually looks better then a factory produced finish. Seeing is believing, during my initial consultation I bring samples which show the old and new finish. In addition I provide my clients with a sample of the finish on their cabinetry and I have a portfolio filled with before and after photo's of completed projects. Below is just one example of a door that I refinished as a sample for a client. Keep in mind this particular door started out as . Artistically I created a finish that offers a much higher end look.
Here is just a few more examples of a sample finishes I prepared for a clients. The bottom two door were created with a faux wood is artistically rendered.
I work with my clients and provide them advise on how to add value by changing certain things like counter tops, lighting or color which will give them the dream kitchen at a budget then can actually afford.

Pictures say a thousand words so let me just place one before and after photo of a kitchen I refinish. The original finish was oak, the client liked the grain of the wood so I re-stained the kitchen in a much richer mahogany finish.
