Work with the cabinets already there

For this project I refreshed the existing kitchen cabinets. The photos show their original dark finish, the preparation work and the lighter painted result.

The details behind the change

The job involved surface preparation and refinishing the cabinet surfaces. Faces, edges and the transitions between pieces all affect how the finished kitchen reads as a whole.

The scope shown here is the cabinet work. The countertop, appliances and other features in the room provide context for the photos. Keeping that distinction clear helps when we discuss what a similar update would involve in your home.

Start with condition, then choose the finish

Send a wide photo of the kitchen and close-ups of the doors, drawer fronts and worn areas. Tell me whether you want a color change, repairs, better fit, or a combination. I’ll review the surfaces and the work involved before we agree on a project price.

Thinking about updating your cabinets?

Send a wide photo, a few close-ups and your city. I’ll review the project with you and quote the agreed work. We start with photos; if measurements or a closer look are needed, we’ll arrange a visit.
