Restoring Kitchen Cabinets
One of the most significant benefits of restoring your kitchen cabinets is preserving the quality of the wood, keeping them looking fresh and operating effectively. Our cabinet refinishing services can be customized to fit your needs, helping you save money by avoiding the need for extensive kitchen remodeling.
Using cabinet stains helps you achieve a timeless look that can be maintained for years to come. A fresh staining job is especially beneficial for kitchen cabinets, as they see frequent use. Even minor stain applications can hide scratches or imperfections, making it easy to keep your kitchen cabinets looking like new without the need to completely refinish them again.
Cabinet Refinishing For Bathrooms
Due to the high humidity level in your bathroom, you may notice your wood cabinets beginning to change color or become dull. Luckily, painting or staining the cabinet doors and frames can help bring a fresh look to the space.
Adding paint to quality crafted cabinets will not lessen their durability. In fact, a fresh coat of paint can enhance their longevity. Choosing the right paint formulation can extend your bathroom cabinets’ lifespan, delaying the need for costly replacements. We recommend painting with a humidity-resistant paint to prevent moisture damage and ensure long-lasting results.
Which Option Is Better: Paint Or Wood Stain?
Before deciding to refinish your cabinets, you will need to determine if you are staining or painting them. There are multiple advantages to choosing either option; the choice comes down to the style of your home and your personal preferences. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of each cabinet refinishing option.
Staining your cabinets is a great way to bring out the grain of the wood and emphasize the texture of the cabinet material. Instead of painting over what is still good on the cabinet set, stain works to enhance it, giving it new life. While paint is a good option for many upgrades in your home, not all colors are timeless. Painted cabinets may not always be in style, but opting for a more natural wood look will keep the appearance of the cabinets more neutral.
Additionally, stains typically contain fewer hazardous chemical compounds than traditional paint, making them safer for your home and better for the environment. However, there are plenty of options out there for low-VOC paints, so you’re sure to find safe products either way.
Painting cabinets is a good option if your home’s style is more sleek. While natural wood can be visually stunning, it can be too rustic for certain tastes. If you are going for a fully modern style, painted cabinets with a matte finish will be your best choice.
If you get sick of your cabinets’ paint color after a while, it’s fairly easy to change. You can paint over a surface multiple times until you’re satisfied with the look. If you want to change your paint color with the seasons, this is a freedom you have as a homeowner.
