Preparation

Depending on the type of finish chosen, the cabinets must be cleaned and sanded in order to prepare the surface for paint or stain. The structure and face of the cabinet should be examined for any damaged areas so appropriate repairs can be made. It's also necessary to remove attached hardware, such as hinges, handles or decorative accessories, so that a uniform finish can be applied to the entire surface.

Cost Factors

In addition to the number of cabinets being refinished, there are several circumstances that can impact the project cost. If there is any damage, there may be additional costs for the labor and materials needed to complete the repairs. The amount of sanding required will vary according to the cabinet color and condition, and the desired finishing results. Some cabinet surfaces may also require additional coats of primer. If the cabinets are located in an area that is difficult to access, it can increase the amount of time spent on the project.

Refinishing Professionals

Because of the many difficulties that can arise and the professional results desired, most homeowners choose to contract a refinishing specialist to perform the work. An expert can locate and repair any weak or problem areas in the cabinet structure and recommend the best refinishing process for any particular situation.
