"John installed crown and base molding throughout entire kitchen. He drywalled areas where walls had been removed and arches expanded. He was very efficient, professional, and completed the job as agreed on time and within budget. We will use him in the future for other remodeling projects!"

"We've hired Tom and Trudy for several projects since purchasing our home two and a half years ago, and we've never been disappointed. For our latest project they replaced three doorsâ front door, back door off the garage, and the door between the house and garage. It turned out to be extra challenging, due to the house's age and all the layers of DIY projects from generations before that had to be corrected first. It was a lot of one step forward, three or four steps back. But Tom and staffer Sam fixed all the underlying issues before proceeding forward, and the result is incredible. We're extremely pleased. As they have with prior projects, they worked quickly, quietly, and cleaned up completely after the project was finished. They're talented, trustworthy, respectful, and just plain great to work with. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat."

"I am a first-time homebuyer who needed a fair amount of painting done, and I am more than pleased with the end result both in terms of the quality of the painting and with what it ended up costing me. I would highly recommend VR Painting to anyone looking for painters, and I would do business again with them in the future without a second thought."

"If you’re looking for painting you don’t hesitate when it come to Micheals painting. Response is quick and they do top knot hair efficient work. I had them paint all my trim doors and kitchen cabinets all white from a honey oak. I also had a tallhallway and ceiling done. I’m very particular and was anxious about having the cabinets done. Im an avid researcher of products and reader of reviews. These guys were recommended by a friend. I’m so happy with the job. It looks fantastic. No need to look for anyone else for any paint job you have. Just do it and put your research goggle away!"

FAQs for cabinets refinish projects in Madison, WI

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.
