What Even Is Cabinet Refinishing?
Breaking down the name can answer the question. Refinishing is the process of eliminating wear and tear from old cabinets through processes like sanding, and finishing them again so they look brand new. Cabinet refinishing can be done to either restore the cabinet to its original color or stain them to provide a dramatic color change.

We say smart because of the amount of time and money refinishing saves you for virtually the same results. Don’t make the mistake of blowing countless dollars and hours on a remodel.

We can refinish your cabinets to give you the kitchen of your dreams at a price you can afford.
How is Cabinet Painting Different than Cabinet Refinishing?
The short answer is the products and process. It’s easy to see why the two methods are often confused but there is a clear difference between cabinet painting and cabinet refinishing. However, most cabinet painters in Bernalillo County fail to use a high-quality product that actually lasts because most paints weren’t designed specifically for wood. A cabinet refinishing from N-Hance uses a solid stain finish instead of traditional paint for this very reason. Painting or staining the cabinets is part of our refinishing process if you choose to change the color. The products we use will stick to the wood for years to come because the refinishing stain was specifically crafted for wooden cabinets in mind. It still adds just as powerful a color change as this video from our YouTube channel will illustrate.
Is Cabinet Refacing Different than Cabinet Refinishing?
Absolutely it is. Cabinet refinishing gives your cabinet a face-lift and refacing gives your cabinet a brand new face. In fact, another name for cabinet refacing is cabinet door replacement as the process swaps your old worn-down door and drawer fronts with brand new ones or special veneers. There are certainly pros and cons to both options. We do offer both services and would be happy to consult with you about your specific needs.
When you choose to reface your cabinets here in Bernalillo County, you can expect to wait about a week or more for the new doors/drawer fronts or veneers to come in along with the additional parts and hardware. It will take a few more days to get everything fitted and squared away so the overall time of completion takes longer than refinishing. That’s not to mention the higher pricing.
Refacing may be able to give you a slightly more dramatic change, but at what cost? That’s why we typically point our customers toward refinishing. Refinishing is typically more affordable, takes less than a week to complete, and takes place right on the original cabinet.
