"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."

"Ruben is the consumate professional! He not only is at the job every day to oversee, supervise and check on the progress, but will pitch in and paint, tape, etc. He checked all my door mouldings by hand to feel the surface and they weren't to his standards, so he gave them another light sanding and a final coat himself. His team of guys were great to work with. We even added an additional job of refinishing a small wood floor area and our banister and it came out magnifico! Hugo has an artistic flair with the brush and roller. The other guys helping out were just as conscientious and when reviewing the painted areas, did not hesitate to touch-up a few missed spots. Ruben and his team provide excellent service with integrity, attention to detail and conscientiousness!!!"

"We hired McCormick Home Builders to remodel our living room, and we are beyond pleased with the result. The team was professional, worked efficiently, and Aris design ideas made a huge difference. The room feels so much brighter and more spacious. This was the best decision we made for our home, and we were already planning our next remodel with them."

"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 Rancho Santa Margarita, 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.
