A complete on-site cabinet refinishing process — thorough cleaning, proper adhesion preparation, and a top-tier finish for a smooth, even result.

Cabinets are unforgiving: the result lives or dies on the preparation and the adhesion. That is exactly where our craft shows.

What's included

Cabinet glazing & antiquing

Glazing isn't only for cabinets — the same technique lifts the detail on doors, crown molding, wainscoting and mantels. A semi-transparent coat is worked into the profiles and carved edges, then wiped back so it settles where the shadows naturally fall, leaving the relief darker and more defined. On a refinished kitchen it reads warmer and more traditional than a flat finish; on trim and millwork it brings out moldings that a single flat colour tends to flatten.

Because the look is a matter of taste, we agree the glaze tone on a sample first — a door or a length of molding — so you see the effect on your own woodwork before we take it further.

We can also bring the same finishing to freestanding furniture and similar pieces — painting, sanding, glazing and varnishing, often to match a refinished kitchen. We focus on the finish, not structural or wood repairs. More in our FAQ →

Frequently asked questions

How do you paint or refinish cabinets?

Cabinet work is usually done on site. Where it helps, parts such as doors and drawers may be handled in a suitable area such as a garage.

Do you spray cabinets?

Sometimes. Most cabinet projects are completed by brush and roll. Spraying may be possible for doors or drawers when there is a suitable controlled area, such as a garage, where we can set up and protect the space safely.

What products do you use for cabinets?

We use a bonding primer and Benjamin Moore Cabinet Coat, chosen for the surface and how the kitchen is used.

How long does cabinet refinishing take?

Most cabinet projects take around 6–10 business days, depending on size, preparation, drying time and site conditions.

How long before I can use my cabinets normally?

Cabinets are dry to the touch well before they are fully cured. We explain what to avoid in the first days and how to treat the surfaces while the finish continues to cure.

Do you provide cabinet care instructions?

Yes. We explain drying and curing time, what to avoid in the first days, and how to clean the surfaces safely. We also provide them in writing on completion.

Do you offer cabinet glazing?

Yes. Glazing is an optional decorative step that adds an antiqued depth to cabinets and other millwork such as doors and crown molding — a semi-transparent coat worked into the profiles and edges, then wiped back to highlight the detail. We agree the glaze tone on a sample first, so you see the effect before we apply it more widely.
