Cabinet Refinishing Jacksonville Florida

If you want to update your home with new kitchen cabinets, refinishing can create fresh new looks without breaking your budget.

Where to Start

To refinish kitchen cabinets, you're going to need a couple of tools and basic handyman skills.

Gather all you'll need before starting. Needing to create several sudden trips to the hardware store will jumpstart your financial plan and slow your progress. Do not attempt to cut corners by buying brushes, paints or stains. High-quality instruments and materials will make doing the job easier and enhance the look of the completed product.

Remove the doors and tag them for easy replacement or employment in phases, sanding and refinishing one pair of doors at one time.

Refinishing the cabinet boxes set up will be messy. Hang sheeting over the doorways to prevent dust from migrating throughout the house. Attachments are available to link a hand sander to a wet/dry vacuum to decrease dust. Paint or stain the back of the boxes. Open all the windows and use a fan for extra venting while painting or staining inside the home.

Pros and Cons

Like many DIY home improvement jobs, refinishing kitchen cabinets has positives and negatives. You'll want to examine both sides before making a final choice.

Experts:

By removing outside labour expenses and working with existing substances, do-it-yourself cupboard remodeling is usually the least expensive means to update the appearance of your kitchen.
Instead of waiting to take delivery of brand new cabinets, it is possible to work on your program and at your own pace.
You'll have some flexibility about changing the appearance of your cabinets with different stains and paints. You may also be able to put a few additional cabinets and stain them to suit your own redesign. Particleboard tends to swell when exposed to moisture. Quite thin veneers can peel if chemically removed, and it can be difficult to sand lightly enough to remove the end without damaging the tooth veneers.
Refinishing kitchen cabinets is a time consuming and messy job that may take as long as a few weeks to accomplish, particularly if you're only able to dedicate time to the job on weekends. In contrast, installing new assembled cabinets takes only a couple of days. In most cases, you'll just be changing the appearance of your present cabinet design. Your selection of hardware and hinges may be restricted by the holes.
Expected Prices
Kitchen cabinet refinishing costs will depend on the size of your kitchen and the materials you plan to use. If you are painting your kitchen cabinets, oil-based paints usually create a more durable, longer wearing finish, but they often need primers and therefore are more expensive than water-based paints. When staining or varnishing hardwood or plywood cabinets, it's a fundamental rule that you can't go lighter than your existing color without bleaching the cabinets, which also adds to the cost.

A simple sand-and-stain refinish job in a fundamental 10-foot plywood galley kitchen may operate as low as $200.

Design Ideas

One of the hottest trends in kitchen design is refinishing kitchen cupboard doors and boxes using two tones to add contrast and depth. Finish doors in 1 shade and stain the cupboard boxes one or two shades darker, or utilize two complementary paint colors for a distinctive, modern appearance.

Crackling is a technique which provides painted cupboard surfaces an obsolete and classic yet elegant look. Different color combinations may be used to your basecoat and also the cracks. Faux wood graining adds interest to plain walnut or medium-density fiberboard cabinet doors.

Get the appearance of a hot and weathered state kitchen with cabinets that are distressed. Lightly sand painted or stained surfaces in the spots where wear would naturally happen. Finish distressed cabinets with a transparent topcoat for durability.

Mix it up with new hardware. Hardware in an interesting shape or finish can dramatically change the look of a kitchen. If you're planning on using hardware using a different drill pattern, fill and sand the existing holes before refinishing.
