Most kitchen cabinet refinishing projects take 2–4 days depending on the number of doors and the finish selected. We start with thorough cleaning and deglossing, apply a bonding primer, then finish with durable topcoats for a smooth, factory-quality result. Doors are removed, finished, and rehung once fully cured, and we serve homeowners throughout the Minneapolis metro area.

Cabinet refinishing is a more thorough process than simply brushing on paint — it includes deglossing the existing surface, applying a bonding primer, and finishing with professional-grade topcoats that cure to a hard, smooth finish. This prep-focused approach is what separates a lasting result from a finish that chips or peels within a year.
