Cabinet Refinishing
Cabinet refinishing is a wonderful process that our professional painters do that will result in you not recognizing your old cabinets by the time we complete the job! What we will do is utilize our tools to first make sure that the wood is smooth on your kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors, as well as the drawers and the entire frame. This is the process that’s called cabinet sanding, and we have all of the electrical and hand tools that are necessary to perform this correctly.
When we are finished smoothing out the wood, we’ll proceed with the actual cabinet refinishing process. This is where our painters will begin to apply varnish, which is what makes your cabinets attain that very glossy and shiny glow that all homeowners want on their kitchen and bathroom cabinets.
The goal when refinishing cabinets is to make them look like they did when they were fresh and new, right out of the store. We love to see the smiles on the faces of our clients when they walk into their kitchens and bathrooms after we complete a job, as their eyes light up and they thank us for making that space in their home transform into just the way they envisioned it.
Cabinet Painting
There are so many homeowners who have a kitchen that they use heavily on a daily basis, because they may have large families that they prepare a lot of meals for. They may also have a lot of dinner parties and such, and they simply want their kitchen space to look lively and new for everyone who visits their residence on those occasions.
When we get calls to do cabinet painting, whether it be in the kitchen or the bathroom areas, there are a lot of homeowners who seem to already know what color it is that they want us to paint those cabinets. But, the thing is, a lot of times they are just a little bit off with the exact color shade, and here’s why.
The reason do-it-yourselves sometimes end up putting down a coat of paint that is not exactly the color that they saw on a color chip in the beginning is because they haven’t gotten a professional opinion about how the paint will look after it is actually applied to the walls, ceiling, cabinets etc.
This is even more true when it comes to applying paint to cabinets, because those painters sometimes feel that cabinets are a quick job that they can do in a snap. Afterwards, they are always confused as to why what they saw on the sample is now not coordinating with the rest of their kitchen or bathroom area the way that they envisioned it.
This is why when we come by a residence to do a free estimate, we listen to all the details that our clients want, especially the precise color they want. We always explain to them that just because the color chip that they initially see looks like it matches the rest of their kitchen or bathroom, it’s still always better to get a professional opinion beforehand.
There’s no obligation to our free estimate, so whenever we give customers this kind of advice they’re still not tied into doing business with us. But, they usually feel so appreciative that we had voluntarily spent those initial moments breaking things down to them, that they can’t wait to allow us to do their entire cabinet painting project. Our hospitality speaks just as loudly as our wonderful painting work, and clients appreciate that.
Cabinet Staining
Some folks feel that wood staining is an easy process. But, a lot of times they simply aren’t prepared efficiently for the job. When it comes to staining, whether it’s your kitchen cabinets or your bathroom cabinets, our professionals at Elegant Painters in Vancouver always have the right quality equipment.
Do-it-yourself painters out there will regularly take the advice of a video that they see online (which was probably made by other non-professionals), then visit one of their local box stores to purchase what they believe to be the best wood staining brand on the market. Then, they’ll go home and apply it to their particular kitchen or bathroom cabinets, not knowing that what they are now applying may not be the correct kind of stain for that particular kind of wood. This is because certain types of wood can be difficult to stain.
For example, maple wood is hard to stain evenly. So, what happens when a homeowner tries to do it for themselves is they’ll end up with a blotchy-looking finish that appears darker in some areas than others. The same thing can happen with cherry wood as well.
Cabinet Refacing
Homeowners who are looking to have cabinet refacing done have probably thought about doing it themselves. But the fact of the matter is the average person simply can’t find the time to do the job.
That’s where we come in! We have 25+ years of experience with cabinet refacing in Vancouver. So, whether it is your bathroom cabinets, your kitchen cabinets, or both, you’re in good hands with our seasoned professionals.
What homeowners are looking for in cabinet refacing is to change the overall look of the kitchen. Not only do they want wonderful-looking new cabinets that are updated, but sometimes ones that also are redesigned. They want the functionality of the kitchen to be much better, and bring a sense of new life to the entire area.
Some homeowners feel like they need to spend thousands of dollars on new cabinets, when simply taking steps like having our professionals transform the texture of the cabinets will render wonderful results. This will add a lot more visual interest to the kitchen without them spending a lot of unnecessary money.
The goal when refacing is to make sure that anyone who saw those cabinets before our cabinet refacing process won’t believe that they’re looking at the same exact cabinets, when in actuality they are!
When we perform refacing for some customers, they want us to provide more function to their cabinets. In fact, professionals know that refacing and refunction actually are all in the same category when it comes to kitchen cabinets and bathroom cabinets. Local homeowners are always surprised when we show them the options that are available to them when it comes to changing the actual function of their cabinets.
For example, there may be a door space on your kitchen cabinets that you may want to transform into an actual drawer space that slides out and provides an extra storage area. Also, what about that blind corner cabinet in your kitchen that gets no use? Well, cabinet refacing can also mean doing things such as converting that space to a Lazy Suzan, or turntable, where you can store your extra pots and pans for easier accessibility in the kitchen.
Whatever your unique ideas or plans are, don’t hesitate to suggest them to our trusted contractors at Elegant Painters while they are conducting your free estimate.
