We will explain to your husband that styles change and along with those changes items that remain outdated will have less value. The real question is “would you rather spend $20,000 on all new cabinetry or a quarter of that and still have at least a $20,000 resale value.” Then we send him on a week long fishing trip.

We can create a custom new look for your cabinetry that works with your existing finishes (like counter tops, wall color and flooring) saving you thousands of dollars! People are no longer celebrating how much they spend but how little they spend and still get great resale value.

The finishes can all be applied while all your items stay neatly put away in your cabinets. (As long as we are not painting the inside of your cabinets). We will only remove the doors for a proper finish.

We can replace the doors and apply a wonderful new finish on them. The existing cabinet face frames will stay in place, and get finished to match the doors. Add some new hardware and you have a brand new gorgeous kitchen!

An average size kitchen takes 7-10 working days from start to finish. Much less than a total tear out and waiting weeks for new cabinetry to arrive that still have to be finished!

The glazes in this product line have a “built in” acrylic component that actually binds with the base coat and creates a very hard and durable finish so there is no need for costly top coats. Another way to save you money!
