Questions about Cabinets

Q. What is the best type of paint for kitchen cabinets?

A: For kitchen cabinets, latex paint isn’t the ideal choice. Few products are truly designed to withstand the daily wear and tear cabinets face. The best results come from using specialized finishes made specifically for wood cabinetry—something most professionals, like N-Hance, are equipped to provide. For a durable, long-lasting finish, it’s best to trust the experts.

Q. Is refacing kitchen cabinets worth it?

A: It depends on the method. Traditional refacing often involves applying adhesive and covering cabinets with low-quality veneer, which can be less durable and difficult to repair. N-Hance offers a better solution with hybrid refacing—replacing cabinet doors and drawer fronts with high-quality wood and expertly matching the finish to your existing cabinet boxes for a seamless, long-lasting result.

Q. How much does it cost to paint kitchen cabinets?

A: Costs can vary based on your location and the size of your kitchen. While basic cabinet painting may seem affordable, using the wrong products or skipping proper prep can lead to poor results—and expensive fixes down the line. At N-Hance, our average project cost is around $5,500, reflecting the use of professional-grade products and a process designed specifically for wood cabinets to ensure long-lasting quality.

Q. Is refinishing kitchen cabinets worth it?

A: Absolutely! When done correctly, cabinet refinishing offers an excellent return on investment. It provides a fresh, updated look at a fraction of the cost of a full kitchen remodel—making it a smart, value-boosting upgrade for your home.

Q. Is it cheaper to refinish or replace cabinets?

A: Yes—refinishing is significantly more affordable than replacing your cabinets. It allows you to refresh the look of your kitchen without the high cost, time, and disruption of a full cabinet replacement.

Q. What’s the difference between cabinet refacing and refinishing?

A: Refinishing updates the color or finish of your existing wood cabinets by restoring the original surface. Refacing, on the other hand, involves replacing cabinet doors and drawer fronts, while covering the cabinet boxes with a veneer or thermofoil material—typically applied using adhesives. Refinishing maintains the original structure, while refacing changes the exterior appearance.

Q. Can I refinish my kitchen cabinets myself?

A: It’s possible, but not easy. Refinishing cabinets is a time-consuming process that often involves extensive sanding or the use of harsh chemicals, followed by proper curing. Without professional tools and experience, the project can stretch over several days—or even weeks—and lead to significant disruption in your home. For the best results with minimal hassle, it’s usually best left to the pros.

Q. What is cabinet refinishing?

Cabinet refinishing is the process of removing the existing finish from your cabinets and applying a new one—such as stain, paint, or a protective coating. It restores the original beauty of the wood or gives your cabinets a completely refreshed look without the need for full replacement.
