Cabinet
refinishing is a specialty of GSP Painting.
We have been refinishing cabinets in the California
Bay Area for over 15 years. By using modern
techniques and finishes we can make most cabinets
look better than when they were first installed.
Our style of cabinet refinishing involves completely
stripping the old finish and stain from the
cabinets. This allows us to start from bare
wood. This is the only guaranteed way for the
new stain and finish to last. By starting with
bare wood, we can stain and finish your cabinets
just like they were at the factory where they
were built.
Some companies like to use a process called
glazing. Glazing is done by scuffing the cabinets
by lightly sanding them and then applying stain
and finish over the old finish. Since the new
finish is applied over the old finish, glazing
tends to wear off in a short period of time.
Cabinet refinishing is an economical choice
to refacing or replacement of your kitchen or
bathroom cabinets. The average cabinet refinishing
is half the cost of refacing and a quarter of
the cost of replacing your cabinets. This can
save thousands of dollars during a kitchen remodeling
project.
Removal of the door hinges and handles is the
first step in the cabinet refinishing process.
These old hinges and handles can be chemically
cleaned to restore their original look. They
can also be removed and replaced. Replacing
the hinges and handles can add a completely
new look to the cabinets. The new models come
in a range of colors and styles that can match
the look and feel of any kitchen or bathroom.
Most people are looking to dramatically change
the look of their cabinets. Refinishing allows
you to change the color of your cabinets from
a darker color to a lighter color or from a
lighter color to a darker color. Oil based stains
will bring out the natural look of the wood.
Oil based stains have been the traditional choice
of woodworkers for centuries.
With the modern stains on the market today you
have a lot of choices in color. Water based
stains have been receiving a lot of attention
lately and can be used to change the color of
the cabinets to any color you can imagine. Water
based stains come in all colors including blues,
oranges, greens, yellows and even purples.
There are a lot of different clear topcoat finishes
available today. These include lacquer, varnish,
polyurethane and water based topcoats. They
all have their own advantages. One of the advantages
of the water based finishes is that they are
crystal clear. They are also resistant to scuffs,
scratches and dings. Another advantage of the
water based topcoats is that they are more environmentally
friendly as compared to traditional finishes.
GSP Painting has the experience and
expertise necessary to refinish any size
kitchen. We can help guide you through the
process of picking a stain color and
choosing the correct finish for your cabinet
refinishing project.
