Cabinet Refinishing FAQs
Franklin Painting LLC provides kitchen cabinet refinishing services for Avon CT, Farmington CT, Newington CT, Simsbury CT, West Hartford CT and all of central Connecticut.
Is the cabinetry work guaranteed or warrantied?
Yes. We offer a two-year warranty on our professional cabinetry work; we guarantee your satisfaction.
What about the cabinet hardware?
You can pick the hardware you want. We'd be happy to fill unmatched holes and install the new hardware once we complete the cabinet refinishing.
Can I use my kitchen when you are working?
It won't be possible to use your kitchen while our professionals are working to refinish your cabinets, but it's normally tied up for only a few days.
What kind of paint or stain do you use to refinish cabinets?
A catalyzed (hardener added) lacquer is used to provide a high-quality finish on all of your cabinetry. It's similar to automotive paint and provides a durable and long-lasting application.
Why does Franklin Painting spray-paint cabinets when refinishing?
We spray-paint cabinets for a factory look without brush marks.
Why can't my cabinets just be painted with brushes and rollers?
Refinishing your cabinets with a brush or roller not only takes longer, it will show brush marks and last only a few years before degrading.
How long does it take to do a typical kitchen cabinet refinishing job?
It generally takes a week or less depending on the size of the kitchen. We work quickly and efficiently to ensure that our job is completed on time and within budget, and to minimize the inconvenience to you.
What do I need to do before the painters arrive?
- You will need to remove anything that is fragile or breakable from the room.
- Countertops should be cleared.
- Glass fronted cabinets will need to be emptied completely.
- We do need a fists worth of space at the front of each cabinet opening in order to tape plastic to protect what is behind.
- If drawer fronts cannot easily be removed, we will need to have the entire drawer emptied.
Do cabinets need to be stripped before refinishing?
We do NOT strip cabinets before refinishing, save for very damaged ones.
