Fort Collins cabinet refinishing FAQs
Is cabinet painting worth it in Fort Collins?
Yes — if the boxes are in good structural shape. A Fort Collins kitchen refinish runs 20–40% the cost of new cabinetry, takes 2 weeks instead of 6–10, and (with a proper conversion-varnish spray finish) lasts 10–15 years.
How long does cabinet refinishing take?
8–12 working days. 2 days on-site for prep and boxes, 4–6 days in our shop for doors, 1 day to rehang. Your sink and appliances stay usable most of the project.
What finish do you use on cabinets?
Pigmented conversion varnish or catalyzed urethane — the same product families high-end cabinet shops spray on new cabinetry. Far more durable than latex enamel or "cabinet paint" from the big-box store.
Do you paint oak cabinets in Fort Collins?
Yes. Oak grain is our most common repaint. We grain-fill before primer when a fully smooth finish is requested, or leave subtle grain-through for a more organic look — your call.
