"Jose and his crew did a fantastic job by trimming a cabinet and making room for a new fridge, without having to be overly invasive or replace the cabinet above the fridge. He was prompt, professional and friendly. Hire this man."

"So glad we hired Avilaâ s Painting. They were professional and their attention to detail was great. They even recommended replacing our cabinet hinges to soft close in order to reduce the wear and tear on cabinets slamming which could damage the paint down the road. Would highly recommend!"

"Specialty Design Coatings was very professional, reliable and did a great job in repairing the cracks in our concrete, refinishing, repainting, and resealing our stone. They worked diligently throughout the project, and continuously worked each day. Oscar, the Project Manager, was easy to communicate with and very knowledgeable. The owner also stopped by to ensure everything was going well. The results of their work was outstanding."

"We had the best experience with Jeffrey and his crew. They did a fantastic job and gave us the best price of all the contractors we had come out to give us an estimate. They started when they said they would and they finished when they said they would. They were so clean, neat and pleasant to have around our house. They painted the entire interior of our house while we still were living in it. I did not think that was possible for me, but it worked. I would recommend Jeffrey to anyone and will use him again with other projects. I will hire him when I need the outside of my house painted which will be pretty soon. I can't say enough nice things about Jeffrey and his crew. JanW"

"We found McCormick home builders through Angie’s list. They were not one of our original contacts, but they contacted us and came out to give us a quote. Matteo was extremely helpful, informative, honest, and gave us reasonable realistic prices, and did not try to inflate the prices or pressure us in anyway. We felt very comfortable with him immediately. We felt like he was a member of the family that we could just talk to and ask questions he was very personable. He gave us his contact number in case we had other questions and he was always available when we needed him for any type of questions or concerns. Mateo‘s team did a beautiful job. They were fast. They were efficient. They cleaned up beautifully. They did a wonderful job. They were very considerate of our time our needs and our neighbors. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Matteo from McCormick home builders for any home building projects, and we will be calling him again in the future!"

"Honestly... the best customer service and most conscientious, punctual crew. Work was done neatly, areas were masked off properly. My cabinets were a cherry brown with dark green granite. They are now a beautiful white with accompanying brass accents (which the guys installed). Daniel was communicative and professional throughout the entire process. You won't be disappointed!"

FAQs for cabinets refinish projects in Irvine, CA

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.
