Why Refinish Your Cabinets instead of Replace?

Refinishing your cabinets is a smart, cost-effective alternative to replacing them entirely. It offers all the benefits of a brand-new look without the hefty price tag or the lengthy downtime. At Armor Tough Coatings, we specialize in transforming your existing cabinets into beautiful, like-new pieces that refresh the entire feel of your kitchen or bathroom. Here’s why refinishing might be the perfect solution for you:

  • Cost Savings: Refinishing your cabinets can be done at a fraction of the cost of replacement, allowing you to achieve the same stunning results while keeping more money in your pocket.
  • Quick Turnaround: Our efficient process typically takes just 7-10 business days from start to finish, with only 3-4 of those days spent in your home, minimizing disruption to your daily life.
  • High Quality Materials: We use premium-grade polyurethane coatings that provide a professional, durable finish, ensuring your cabinets look beautiful and stand up to everyday use.
  • Eco-Friendly: Refinishing produces significantly less waste compared to cabinet replacement, making it a more environmentally responsible choice.

Our Cabinet Refinishing Process: From Preparation to Perfection

At Armor Tough Coatings, we take pride in our meticulous approach to cabinet refinishing, ensuring every step is executed with precision and care. Our process is designed to transform your cabinets into beautiful, durable pieces that enhance your kitchen’s overall look and feel. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how we achieve stunning results:

Tear Down: Labeling, Removing, and Transporting Doors & Drawers

We begin by carefully labeling and removing all cabinet doors and drawers, ensuring that everything is properly organized for reinstallation. These components are then transported to our workshop, where they will undergo thorough preparation and refinishing. This careful approach prevents any mix-ups and ensures a seamless reassembly once the work is complete.

Preparation, Sanding & Masking: Thorough Cleaning & Protection

Next, we focus on preparing your kitchen for the refinishing process. This involves thoroughly cleaning the cabinet boxes with a degreaser, followed by sanding to create a smooth surface for the new finish to adhere to. We then meticulously mask off the surrounding areas, including countertops, appliances, and floors, to protect them from any overspray or dust, ensuring your kitchen remains clean and undisturbed.

Spraying: High-Quality Priming & Coating

With the preparation complete, we set up a spray booth on-site to apply the primer and finish coats. We use high-quality, industrial-grade primers and paints that provide a durable, flawless finish. Our team takes care to control the environment during spraying, using fans and ventilation to manage airflow and speed up drying times, while also minimizing any odors.

Doors & Drawers: Detailed Refinishing in Our Workshop

While the cabinet boxes are being sprayed on-site, your doors and drawers are receiving special attention in our workshop. Here, they are thoroughly prepped, sanded, and coated with multiple layers of primer and finish. We pay particular attention to the substrate, ensuring that open grain wood is properly filled and sanded to achieve a smooth, even surface before the final coats are applied.

Installation: Reassembling Your Beautifully Refinished Cabinets

Once the doors and drawers are fully cured and ready, our installation crew carefully transports them back to your home. We take the time to rehang and adjust each door and drawer, ensuring everything is perfectly aligned and operates smoothly. The result is a kitchen that looks and feels brand new, without the hassle and expense of a full remodel.

Final Inspection: Ensuring Perfection & Your Complete Satisfaction

The final step in our process is a detailed inspection of the finished work. We check every aspect of the refinishing job, making any necessary touch-ups to ensure everything is perfect. We then walk through the project with you to make sure you are completely satisfied with the results. Our goal is to leave you with a kitchen that not only meets but exceeds your expectations.

An Unparalleled Detailed Approach For Long Lasting Beautiful Results

At Armor Tough Coatings, our cabinet refinishing process is designed to deliver outstanding results that last. By following this detailed approach, we ensure that every project is completed to the highest standards, giving you a beautifully updated kitchen that you’ll love for years to come.

What to Expect & How to Care for Refinished Cabinets

When you choose Armor Tough Coatings for cabinet refinishing, you’re investing in a stunning transformation that revitalizes your kitchen or bathroom. Here’s what to expect and how to keep your cabinets looking their best:

Natural Characteristics

Minor imperfections, like grain visibility on open-grain woods or subtle lines where panels meet stiles and rails, are normal and add to the unique charm of your cabinets.

Durability & Care

Our industrial-grade coating is durable and resistant to wear, but it’s important to maintain it with gentle cleaning. Use non-abrasive cloths and mild detergents, and avoid harsh chemicals to keep the finish looking new.

Environment Matters

Wood naturally expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity. Keep your home’s temperature and humidity levels stable with a humidifier in winter and air conditioning in summer to minimize wood movement and maintain the integrity of your cabinets.
