"<p>My experience couldn't have been better.  John Henze responded promptly to my request for an estimate and was able to begin the work within a reasonable period of time.  There was a lot of carpentry work involved in this project which he completely beautifully.  As with most remodeling projects, a number of surprises arose along the way.  John was able to handle these in a creative, effective and budget-friendly manner.  He worked well with other contractors (hardwood floor refinisher, painter, fireplace installer) to get the job done as efficiently as possible even when this created scheduling conflicts for himself.</p> <p>John Henze is professional, knowledgable and wonderful to work with.  He did a fabulous job on this project and I am absolutely thrilled with the results.  Without question, I would hire him again and have no reservations about recommending him to family and friends.</p>"

"<p>Max Baggett is a great guy to work with, friendly and accommodating.  He always got back to me in a timely manner when I called and explained clearly what he was going to do so I knew exactly what was going to happen. He's not inexpensive but he tries to keep cost down as much as possible while still giving you good quality work. I expect the workmanship will last many, many years.   He and his crew did a first rate job in upgrading my 1950's home.  He gave excellent advice and if he wasn't sure on some decorating point he admitted it.  The kitchen hadn't had any work done on it since the 1960's. The first job I had done was the 3/4 wall height paneling I had installed in the kitchen eating area.  It looks like something from a craftsman house. It instantly added interest in the kitchen. The next thing  was replacing the formica counters in the kitchen with silestone.  I also had a tumbled marble back splash put in at the same time to match the silestone counters.  I am very happy with the results.</p> <p>After that was remodeling the bathroom, also from the early 1960's.  It was gutted.  When replacing some walls it was found to have extensive termite damage, almost all the wood had been eaten where the bathroom window was.  The only thing holding it up was the outside of the house!  Max took me personally to pick out the bathroom sink stone top at a small stone yard so I didn't need to buy a huge piece, I appreciated that a lot.  So I saved  money there.  His talented work crew did a bang up job installing the tile in the room.</p> <p>The next to the last job done was evening and replacing all the floors in the house.  The kitchen floor wasn't the same height as the adjoining floors and people would trip going in or out of the kitchen.  That was fixed.  The carpet in the living room and bedrooms was over 40 years old and was replaced with a dark hardwood floor including the hallway.  New carpeting was installed in the bedrooms.  Crown molding was installed throughout the house.  The crown molding looks especially outstanding in the hallway.</p> <p>The last thing done was installing a gas insert and  covering the original brick fireplace with green marble.  I kept the original wood mantel.  The fireplace is a fantastic focal point of the room now.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>If I should need any more work done I would definitely have Max do the work as it is top quality.</p> <br />"

"The process was very smooth, professional and high quality. We did get the best advise regarding paint products, color and suggestions before commencing the work. CSI painting crew showed up in time, they all were very courteous, respectful of our home and clean up every time before they left for the day. You could barely noticed that painting work was been done. CSI adjusted their schedule to our working schedule. Once the work was finished, we received a visit from the owner and ask us if we were happy with the work, or if we had any suggestions. Something you rarely see. We are recommending CSI painting to all our friends and family."

"Elijah did a fantastic job of taking all of the old stain off my deck and re-staining. it. There was a problem with the product he used (not his fault!!!) so he had to do it over. He did so immediately with a smile on his face. I highly recommend Elijah and his crew. He is a great communicator and is very good at what he does."

FAQs for cabinets reface projects in Salinas, CA

Absolutely. Refacing returns 65% to 80% of your investment at resale, and you get an updated kitchen right now. Because you’re not paying for new boxes or demo work, the price lands well below complete replacement but still delivers a fresh, custom look that buyers—and you—notice every time you walk in.

To trim costs, start by pricing a high-quality paint or gel stain instead of full refacing—stain alone can be one-third the price of full refacing. Keep existing hinges and pulls if they’re in good shape, and shop sales for sandpaper, primer, and sealer. The sweat equity is real, but so are the savings, and a careful DIY job can still leave your cabinets looking sharp for years to come.

A professional crew needs only three to five days to reface a standard kitchen, although a larger layout or intricate door style may add one to two days. Compare that with the several weeks a full cabinet swap can drag on. In other words, you get your space back fast, often before the paint on the new doors is even fully cured.

Yes, you can replace just the cabinet doors and drawer fronts without covering the cabinet boxes. Cabinet refacing involves installing new doors and drawer fronts while applying veneers to existing cabinet boxes. If you’re satisfied with the condition of your cabinets, swapping doors and drawer fronts reduces labor and materials, saving you time and cost. Always consult a professional to confirm compatibility and ensure a seamless, high-quality finish.

Most cabinet refacing projects do not require removing countertops because professionals can access doors and drawers around existing surfaces. However, if your countertop overhang prevents full access to the cabinet boxes, contractors may need to lift the countertop to install veneers properly temporarily. Discuss this with your refacing specialist during the on-site estimate so you know exactly what the project entails.
