"OH MY GOD! This company is beyond amazing. We were in the market to get our cabinets refaced and let me tell you, this company blew us out of the water on so many levels! For starters, we looked at a couple big box retailers and their prices were extremely high so when we met with the owner Dennis, we were skeptical. Once he gave us the price, I felt like it was too good to be true. His price was 40% cheaper than the big box stores and this was getting everything we wanted from Dennis. Dennis was one of the most professional people I have ever had the pleasure with dealing with. He was always on time, extremely professional and honesty. The person who worked on out cabinets was Joe. Let me tell you, this man is an artist! His attention to detail on the cabinets was amazing. I feel like they have revived our kitchen and our house. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to do a cabinet refacing! Thank you again!!"

"Mr. Sandless was very open about the service he provided and its limitations. They arrived on time answered any and all questions that I had. They did a fantastic job refinishing our floors. The type of hardwood we had would not allow us to do a traditional refinish of the floors so the Mr. Sandless process was an excellent option. The wait time for the finish to dry was also substantially shorter that a traditional refinish. We were able to move our furniture into our house 24 hours after the job was completed.  I am very happy with the process and service that was provided and would recommend it to a friend."

"They were good, very affordable, and prompt in their service. They gave us a discount on the gutter helmets because we had de-watering done and the cabinets done by them. The work they did were very good and they cleaned up after themselves. They are sort of an all-around."

"Requested some custom remodeling and upgrades to existing cabinets. Response and advice was very impressive; recommendations were timely and precise; estimate was very reasonable. Work was scheduled in a very coordinated manner. Appointment went as promised. Finished work was beyond expectations; stain was matched perfectly; craftsmanship was flawless; installation was quick and efficient. This firm is amazing! Value to dollar is understated; very gifted woodworkers. Would never use or recommend anyone else. <br />"

"I interviewed three contractors to do the remainder of my kitchen update.  I had already had the floors and appliances replaced, but I needed to do something with the cabinets, countertops, and lighting.  To reduce costs, I wanted to keep the existing cabinets.  Two of the contractors recommended that I replace all the cabinets; Jeremy was the only one who was willing to work with me to keep and modify them.  When I met with Jeremy to discuss what I wanted to do to the kitchen, he gave me good information on lighting options and how he could fix the issues I had with the existing cabinets.  He removed the upper cabinets over the peninsula and the table height shelf attached to it, and extended the new countertop so I have a real breakfast bar now.  He was able to salvage some wood from the old cabinets to fill in the gaps where the table-height shelf had been.  He was also willing to remove the center panels on two cabinet doors so I could have glass panels put in them.  Now I can see my Fiesta Ware and I love it!  Even though it wasn't in the original work estimate, he was also willing to replace other light fixtures on the first floor so the finishes coordinated, and he replaced the fluorescent light fixture in my master bathroom with a pendant light.  <br /> I think Jeremy did a great job - he was prompt, professional, friendly, and answered all of my questions.  He told me up front how long it would take to do the work, kept the dust and dirt to a minimum, and finished on time.  I felt that what he charged for the work he did was reasonable, and I would recommend him to anyone who asks. <br />"

"I had my cabinets refaced by Wood Front Kitchens, an affiliate of Peoria Siding & Windows under the Prairie Home Alliance. I was extremely happy with the end result and everyone who has visited has said how surprised they are that I had my cabinets refaced because they look like brand new cabinets.  The quality of the cabinets fronts are superb and the workmanship was excellent.  In addition to refacing the existing cabinets, they added a nice looking book shelf at the end of the island, installed 3 roll out drawers and added other nice finishing touches that I wasn't expecting.  The installers were very professional and cleaned up everything before they left the job.  If you are thinking about refacing your cabinets, I would highly recommend Wood Front Kitchens.  I have no regrets! <br /> <br />"

"Cornerstone Builders and Developers were initial recommended by Reading Plumbing to do the specialized work in the bathroom.  It was necessary to remove the shelf brace to allow the plumber to get to the underside of the faucet.  The shelf brace was an integral part of the front of the vanity.  So the work had to be done carefully so that when put back it would look like the other shelf braces in the vanity.  They did a good job and even painted it so you can not even tell it had been removed.  <br /> While having that work done, I had them put up some additional kitchen crown moulding which had not been done when the house was built.  It was for a couple of small areas.  The work was complicated by trying to get it to match up completely with the already installed pieces.  The carpenter did a great quality job and spent extra time to make sure it was done right.  He also painted the pieces to assure they match all the rest of the cabinets and moulding. <br />"

FAQs for cabinets refinish projects in Shirley, IL

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.
