"Creations Construction completely transformed our kitchen and living room in Encinitas. The open-concept design they helped create made our home feel twice as big. Everyone from the designer to the crew was polite and professional. We’ve already recommended them to two neighbors!"

"Raul was top-notch from start to finish. His workers are amazing and I am very very happy with the results! He was reasonable and excellent at communication. I would recommend him to anyone! He uses excellent quality paint if someone is going to work that hard and repainting the whole place it should be done with the best paint."

"Our remodeled kitchen exceeded all expectations. Leoni’s eye for design brought our ideas to life, creating an open and functional layout perfect for entertaining. The team’s craftsmanship was top-notch, and they respected our home, leaving it clean each day. The project was finished on time and within budget, and our kitchen now feels like a welcoming and sophisticated part of our home. I’d recommend McCormick to anyone wanting a home transformation without stress!"

"If you want painters that are very considerate, hardworking and are very reasonably priced, then look no further. Do yourself a favor and at least meet Marco Reyes to get a quote. We are so glad that we did and went with SD Pro Painting. Marco has great communication and always asks before assuming on the project. They not only painted the exterior of our house, but they also replaced several wood trim sections that were in extremely bad shape (which we knew about), prior to painting. They also did many extras that we did not ask for or expected, i.e., buying new and attaching address numbers to the house, cutting up the old trim they removed and cutting down a bush for us that we were not able to complete. We have never had such a wonderful experience with a contractor. They were a blessing, and we will always recommend them to our friends and family. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did. They are wonderful!!"

"We had the interior of our new home painted soon after moving in and couldn't have found a better company to do it. The work was impeccable and the team extremely pleasant to work with. Everything was expertly done! The job was completed ahead of schedule and everything we'd asked was delivered on so we were able to get moving with settling into our home. If and when we need work again we intend to use this company. Superb work and a great team of people, couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for cabinets refinish projects in San Diego, 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.
