Cabinet Painting & Refinishing FAQs

Delta Custom Finishes provides kitchen and bathroom cabinet painting, wood refinishing, refacing, and hardware installation. The right option depends on your cabinet material, condition, and the change you want.

Painting changes the color of suitable existing cabinetry. Wood refinishing renews the existing wood finish and can preserve visible grain. Refacing replaces doors and drawer fronts while keeping structurally sound cabinet boxes, with a coordinated finish on visible frames.

Cabinets with sound boxes and a layout that works for you may be suitable for an update. We assess the material, existing coating, and any damage before recommending a service. Significant water damage, loose construction, or a layout change may call for repairs or replacement.

We offer free estimates. Pricing depends on the number and size of doors and drawers, cabinet condition, preparation and repairs, selected finish or door style, hardware, and whether interiors are included. Ask for a written scope so you understand what the estimate covers.

Before accepting an estimate, ask us to confirm the accepted payment methods, any deposit requirement, payment schedule, and how changes to the work will be approved. Review the written project terms so the scope and responsibilities are clear.

The schedule depends on cabinet size and condition, the service selected, repairs, drying and curing requirements, and availability of replacement doors or hardware. We discuss the expected work schedule during the estimate. A coating can be ready for careful handling before it has fully cured.

Clear countertops and work areas, move fragile belongings, and arrange access to the cabinets. We will explain which drawers or cabinet interiors need to be emptied for the agreed work. Let us know about access restrictions, pets, and any areas that need special protection.

We plan masking and protection around the work area and use preparation methods suited to the cabinet material and finish. Sanding and coating work can create dust or odors, so discuss containment, ventilation, and access with us before work begins. We do not promise a completely dust-free home.

Access may be limited while cabinets are being prepared or coated and while products dry. Plan for temporary disruption, and ask us which fixtures, appliances, or areas can be used safely at each stage. We will discuss access and handling precautions for your project.

We can discuss color and sheen, replacement door styles for refacing, and compatible knobs, pulls, or hinges. Hardware placement, existing hole spacing, and cabinet construction affect the options. Confirm the selected products and any additional work in your estimate.

Follow the drying and curing guidance provided for the selected coating. During curing, handle doors and drawers gently and avoid scrubbing, heavy impacts, or prolonged contact with moisture. Ask us when normal cleaning and everyday use can resume for your particular finish.

Once the finish is ready for cleaning, use the product-specific care instructions provided for your project. A soft cloth and a mild cleaner suitable for the finish are generally preferable to abrasive pads or harsh chemicals. Wipe up spills promptly and avoid soaking cabinet surfaces.

A suitable cabinet coating can help resist ordinary bathroom wear and occasional splashes, but it does not make cabinets waterproof. Ventilation, prompt drying of splashes, and repairing plumbing leaks help protect the cabinetry. Existing moisture or water damage should be assessed before finishing.
