"I have used Browder Paining company a number of times and have never been disappointed in the end results. This time they refinished my kitchen cabinets and they look fantastic. I am over the moon with the results Erik and Juan Cruz were able to achieve."

"After checking out bids from several cabinet makers and contractors, we were so lucky to be introduced by our brother to the team at Fernando's Custom Kitchen Cabinets in Montebello. From start to finish, our experience with Armando Jr. & Armando Sr., Fernando, Antonio and all of the other guys was excellent. These guys are friendly, professional, respectful, careful, and creative. They take great pride in their work and it shows. For approximately half the price of the bids from the big name cabinet companies, we were able to get the kitchen of our dreams! Our drawers and cabinets have soft close hardware; a custom breakfast nook was built to our specifications; our pantries and space under the kitchen sink have beautiful roll outs making everything accessible; we have a custom trash drawer, a custom spice drawer, custom dish drawers, etc. When it was clear that I, the homeowner, had miscalculated on a couple of items (i.e. breakfast nook measurement too shallow), the team made adjustments in a timely fashion to our satisfaction. We have an all white kitchen with stainless steel appliances and we chose to have Fernando's not only build the cabinets, but also paint and install them. This proved to be a very smart step, as the paint finish is top notch and any adjustments that had to be made during installation due to uneven walls and ceiling were all taken care of by this team. After the counters and appliances were installed the guys came back to make sure everything fit tightly and seal any gaps. Armando and his team made our kitchen remodel experience a huge success and we recommend them highly! <br />"

"The cabinet maker came to our home and measured our kitchen. He drew up computer drawings so we could make changes and additions. He used excellent wood and a beautiful stain finish. When the cabinets were done he installed them on the date and time he said he would be there. Gave professionalism a whole new meaning. They turned out beyond what we <br /> expected. <br />"

"I recently visited the showroom of Payless Kitchen and Bath in Glendale, CA with a friend. The woman at the front desk was kind and professional. It was great to see the different cabinet, countertop, and backsplash options that they have available, especially because they were displayed like real kitchens, not just small samples. I was surprised to see flooring options in each of the mock kitchens as well as some carpet samples for the other rooms in my house. As for bathroom ideas, they had full size examples of showers as well which made it easy to envision in my house. If anyone is looking to make updates in their home, make an appointment to see Payless Kitchen and Bath in Glendale or have them come to you. "

"After my insurance company remediated the mold damage resulting from widespread flooding by stripping almost everything out from the floor to mid level, I decided to cash in and redo the place. It took from early March to late May to work out the contract during which time Sally Walker, the technical partner, patiently worked with me offering suggestions and pointing out potential problems with the seemingly endless choices I had to make. Their showroom was a useful resource yet Ivone Cortez, the coordinating partner, was happy to incorporate items I chose from the wide selection available on the web. A good illustration of their flexibility was the effort needed to incorporate non-magnetic cupboard door latches. It took more effort on their part to work out how to install these latches as there were subtle and unforeseen glitches but because of their patience, their handyman, Alfredo, with some ingenuity on his part, installed them perfectly. <br /> I'm no interior decorator so I benefited from the suggestions of Ivone and Susie. For example, originally, the walls, doors, and trim of my unit was a shade of white which I wanted to duplicate. Ivone suggested that the doors and trim be pure white so as to stand out. The effect really works. <br /> I asked Ivone to send a copy of the contract and proposal to my lawyer which she was happy to do. My lawyer gave high praise for the completeness of the proposal as well as the professionalism of the contract. <br /> The work began in early June and the contract work was finished by late August when I was able to move back in and have my life return to normal. It was a long time to suffer through but the length of the job was consistent with the estimates from the other contractors for whome I got bids, the insurance company contractor and my lawyer. Moreover, Alfredo often worked on weekends to get the job finished in a timely manor. Things slowed down afterwards when it came to completing some of the change orders as well as making last-minute repairs, but as I had already moved back in to an essentially fully functional home, it just gave me an excuse to delay the final payment—November 07. <br /> You may recall in my last review of Classic Installation that my one complaint was that Alfredo installed a door pull off center and I should've complained about it when I finally noticed it but didn't. I finally mentioned it during this job and Ivone volunteered to replace the door at no charge. Moreover, during this job, Alfredo's measurements were all accurate. I guess a few years on-the-job experience makes all the difference. <br /> Alfredo worked hard to please as best illustrated with the noisy microwave hood. I called Samsung whose rep said the noise must come from something foreign hitting the fan. Alfredo had already determined such was not the case. Still, To be thorough, he uninstalled the microwave hood and together we determined that the vent was obstructing the damper and the air resistance caused the motor to rev, making the noise. So much for Samsung customer help. Alfredo took the vent assembly back to the shop and fixed the problem. <br /> There were a few glitches. Classic Installation installs Waypoint cabinets which are modular rather than custom. I was disappointed that that the cabinets didn't make full use of the kitchen space. I don't know enough about cabinetry to know if this problem is intrinsic to modular cabinetry or whether it's possible to customize the size of the cabinets and drawers while still keeping the doors and drawer faces modular so as to save on cost, but if so, that's what I'd have wanted. The tile are not uniformly level and the grout doesn't completely fill the space up to the level of the tile making the floor a bit h****** a sponge mop since the porcelain tile edges are not rounded. Alfredo claimed that such is the case when installing sharp-edged tile. I've since noticed more carefully other tile work and what I've seen seems to confirm Alfredo's claim. I wished that either Ivone or Susie had educated me about this aspect of tile work. I would've chosen different tile. Finally, I ordered a replacement full-sized rectangular mirror for the vanity to replace a sloppily cut mirror of the same dimension. The new, precisely cut mirror once installed was not parallel to the vanity back splash. The mirror was fine; it was the original vanity that was cockeyed. Had someone accurately measured the vanity so we knew in advance that it was not true, I'd have ordered an elliptical mirror to avoid the problem. As it was, I paid to have the vanity surface redone. <br /> Any job as comprehensive as this one is going to have some problems yet given the scale of this project, I'm pleased with both the planning and execution of the job and most important I'm pleased with the outcome. Next time I need work done, I'll turn first to Classic Installation. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"Angel was responsive to my inquiry by email. Came out for an estimate to install stock cabinets, counter top and sink as well as all the plumbing. The day he was scheduled to come to install he called me to explain he had made a mistake on his estimate and wanted to talk with me first because he said he would not just come to do the work then tell me, this was for $20.00! that impressed me a lot. He was so careful of my home protecting the area he worked in he did a quality job! He was efficient an organized."

FAQs for cabinets refinish projects in Santa Ynez, 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.
