"Roman is extremely talented and conscientious. He is very thoughtful and the quality of work is exceptional. He does not take any shortcuts and neither does he suggest one. He is a bit slow and might not be suitable for someone who is in a rush. We paid a flat rate and might have been a bit pricey, but we believe we got great value for our money."

"Jon and his team performed an outstanding job, which went beyond our expectations! We were a little apprehensive at first, but at the end we were so glad we trusted Jon! He and his team were very professional, very clean and made sure we are satisfied with the end product. Painting kitchen cabinets is a great way of refreshing your kitchen without spending too much money and not going through the mess of taking out old cabinets and replacing them with new."

"We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the refinishing of our kitchen cabinets. We were in communication with Dave from start to finish. The whole process went very smoothly. First was a meeting at our house, taking measurements and getting a proposal written up. Then we choose a color and they did an excellent job matching exactly what we wanted. A sample was made on one of our cabinets and brought to our home for final approval. When all of the cabinet doors were finished, we set up a time frame for installation and the rest of the work to be done on site. Dave and his crew were very professional and always available if we had any questions. They did an excellent on the refinishing and installation. We would definitely recommend Save Wood!"

"First of all we did not have enough cabinets in our kitchen so we needed to totally change the configuration of the kitchen. Then after some careful research we end up with Cabinets City. Unlike others, they listened to what we wanted and provided cabinets that work beautifully. We have used the kitchen for several weeks now and I can't think of anything I would change. The quality of the cabinets and granite countertops are like high-end furniture and they were installed with the precision one would expect from an expensive cabinet maker. Everyone was pleasant to work with and very responsive. Cabinets City’s PRICE was lower by several thousand dollars then all others we visited. I wish these guys were around Chicago City before we have done my parent’s house there years ago. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THEM…"

FAQs for cabinets refinish projects in Great Lakes, IL

To find the best cabinet refinishing expert for your project, start by researching local pros and reading reviews from previous customers. Reach out to a few contractors to discuss your cabinets' size, condition, and the look you're aiming for. Don't hesitate to ask for references or examples of their past work. Speaking with previous clients can give you valuable insights into the pro's workmanship and reliability.

When speaking with potential cabinet refinishing pros, consider asking them several questions to gauge their experience and professionalism. These questions can help you gauge the pro's experience and determine if they align with your needs.

  • Do you offer a guarantee on your work?

  • Can you create custom finishes or colors?

  • Do you have examples or samples of your past projects?

  • Are you able to match the finish to other cabinets in my home?

  • How long will the project take from start to finish?

Regular care will help maintain the beauty of your cabinets for years to come. To keep your refinished cabinets looking their best, follow these steps:

  • Use gentle cleaners: Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the finish. A simple mixture of warm water and mild dish soap works well.

  • Clean carefully: Instead of spraying solutions directly onto the cabinets, apply them to a soft microfiber cloth and wipe gently.

  • Protect from heat and moisture: Try to minimize exposure to excessive heat or moisture, which can affect the finish over time.

It's usually less costly to refinish cabinets than to replace them, depending on the cabinet condition. Refinishing cabinets cost an average of $3,114 while replacing cabinets is about $5,000 or more. When deciding to refinish or replace cabinets, consider several factors, including how old your cabinets are, your budget, and whether you need to complete any other renovation projects at the same time.

It may be worth resurfacing (also known as refacing) your cabinets if they’re in good shape but you’re interested in a different look. This is often less expensive than replacing cabinets outright and can allow you to update the look of your cabinets to reflect your kitchen’s current style without having to get rid of them entirely. The cost to reface cabinets is around $4,300 to $10,000, and you can hire a local cabinet refacing pro to handle this work.

Refinishing cabinets takes about two to three days to complete. The process begins with removing cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware, followed by cleaning, stripping, and sanding the surfaces. Any chips, stains, or splits are repaired before applying paint or stain. After applying the finish, the cabinets are reassembled, and the workspace is cleaned up, leaving your cabinets refreshed and renewed.
