"Carolyn, her son Llewellyn, and Isaiah, were absolutely fantastic! They did such an amazing job with my cabinets. Even though I still have a backsplash and countertops to put in, the cabinets are already the star of my kitchen. So glad I chose Carolyn to refinish these well built cabinets instead of replacing them. Saved me a ton of money! New AC units was going to cost me $12700 before labor!!!! And they weren't even real wood Carolyn and her team are absolute professionals, kind, and just genuine folks. If you need a face lift on your kitchen, call Carolyn!!! You won't regret it."

"We highly recommend Kitchen Emporium if you need a kitchen remodeled or updated! Rob provided us with an excellent design for our kitchen upgrade. We needed additional storage cabinets, tile backsplash, new lighting, trim work, new hardware, new faucet, and painting. The custom cabinet he installed is beautiful and matches our existing cabinets and granite counter tops perfectly! Also, the work people were very professional and skilled with their respective trades. Hats off to Mike, George, Zack, & Amy (carpentry), Bruce with HR Electric, Chris (tile), Ricky (drywall), Rick (plumbing), and Keith (painting). Thanks so much Rob, you exceeded our expectations and look forward to working with you again in the future! Ann Marie & Tommy Holt"

"We had our 40 year old stained pine cabinets refinished, including removing old doors and drawers, modifying existing valances, sanding and painting the old frames, and installing new doors, drawers and hardware. The results were excellent... the kitchen looks like new. Jamie was very through during the consultation; explaining the process and making recommendations. A designer was available for consultation on colors, etc. during a later visit. The crews were on time took care to protecting surrounding areas. Overall the process took 4 days. I would highly recommend them."

"Have worked w/Bob Stahl since 2012 (Stahl Cabinets is now Neptune Kitchen and Bath), and was so pleased with his work that we've not used anyone else since. After some cosmetic improvements to our kitchen, powder room, and (ex) wet bar area in 2012, we decided in 2017 to upgrade our master bath, and the result was beyond our expectations (7 pix-) - could not be more pleased! We then, earlier this year/2019, decided to upgrade the guest bathroom (4 pix); convert the old brick/ceramic tile, non-working fireplace (1 pix; gas insert includes backlit/colored pebbles); bar area (1 pix, added wine racks); powder room vanity (1 pix); as well as change the kitchen cabinetry color (from polyurethane golden oak to white/peripheral cabinets, and mint green/island) (2 pix) ... again, outstanding results! Finally, we installed built-in shelving in the FROG (office), with a library ladder - quite pleased! Constant communication on both schedule and cost (on target, no surprises) - will not work with anyone else!. We recommend Neptune unconditionally!"

"Kitchen Concepts (KC) was recommended to us by a local custom cabinet maker who said he would be happy to help create whatever we wanted but advised us to check there first as he was quite confident we would find what we were looking for.  We were on the road at the time and immediately called to set up an appointment.  My husband and I walked in and were greeted by McCoy Williamson and the rest shall we say, is history!  We are SO pleased with our cabinets and really enjoyed working with McCoy.  We walked in not knowing at all what we wanted or how to go about making it happen.  McCoy patiently listened, made suggestions and worked with us for weeks to help create a plan and select cabinets and counter tops for our new kitchen. Our kitchen remodel was "forced" due to an insurance claim so we were somewhat limited as to price and layout of the kitchen. McCoy worked with us to make tweaks to create a more efficient layout while still allowing us to remain within budget.  Had we had unlimited funds and space I can only imagine what we could have come up with together! <br /> We ended up going with our own fabricator for the granite counter tops strictly because of price and while we are very happy with them, wished we would have gone with McCoy instead.  The hassle and leg work required to find our own was not worth saving what amounted to just a couple hundred dollars.  KC hired and managed a company to Install the cabinets, they were friendly, professional and did an amazing job.  I will submit a separate review for them. <br /> During the now more than 5 month remodel of practically our entire home, we are still being faced with many delays and set backs from other contractors but never with Kitchen Concepts.  From tear out of old to installation of new, we were always kept informed of appointments, delivery and installation dates. They kept and were on time for all.  Because of them, we were able to move back into our house before Christmas with beautiful and complete kitchen cabinets!   <br /> We would not hesitate to hire KC for an ENTIRE kitchen remodel.  McCoy is talented, knowledgeable, trustworthy, patient, professional and very pleasant to work with. He was always available and willing to give advise and opinions even regarding matters that did not benefit him, for this and more, we are most appreciative.  We are pleased to provide our highest recommendation to Kitchen Concepts, (McCoy, Tommy and Ruby) and are confident that you will be happy too! <br />"

"Rodney, owner of Full Circle Kitchen and Bath, was an excellent choice for doing our kitchen remodel. He is hard working and reliable. He made some excellent recommendations that we loved. He was easy to contact and he kept us informed of the work schedule. He gave us a fair price, also. We are very happy with his work."

"The kitchen in our early 1990s home was classic "Tuscan Brown," with hideous oak cabinets, fluorescent lighting, a worn-out linoleum floor, and Formica countertops. We fixed the lighting, replaced the countertop, and redid the floor, only to discover we couldn't live with the oak cabinets. Mark and his team came to our rescue with a superb refacing job, including an equally professional job on the tile backsplash. The results are stunning, and cost less than half of what we would have likely spent had we gutted the kitchen and replaced all the cabinet frames. Mark's technician, Jim, was courteous, highly competent, and responsive to our suggestions. Any concerns we had -- and there were very few -- were promptly and courteously addressed. My highest recommendation!"

"It was okay. I just didn't think that the finish that they used matched the rest of the chair. It just kind of stood out. It's the wrong color. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great. I think that the price was fine. I would probably not use them in the future."

FAQs for cabinets refinish projects in Portsmouth, VA

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.
