Cabinet Painting & Refinishing in Lancaster, MA

With a median build year of 1967, a lot of Lancaster kitchens started life with site-built or early factory cabinets made from solid wood and plywood. Those boxes are often sturdier than the particleboard units that replaced them in many later kitchens. Where the original kitchen has already been redone, it might be a 1990s oak set with a worn clear coat. Either way, the question we help homeowners answer is whether the boxes are sound enough to keep. In houses of this era, they often are.

Median home values in Lancaster sit in a middle range for the area, and with 83 percent of homes owner-occupied, most people are improving a house they plan to stay in. Refinishing keeps counters, sinks, and tile in place, which cuts disruption. We degrease, sand, prime with a bonding primer, and apply a hard enamel. In Victorian or farmhouse kitchens with built-in hutches or pantry cupboards, we can paint those pieces to match so the room reads as one.

Before you book cabinet painting & refinishing in Lancaster

1. 1

   Look inside the sink base

   Water damage under the sink is the most common problem in older cabinet boxes. Check for a soft or swollen floor panel. A replacement bottom is a small carpentry fix before refinishing, but it should be done first.

2. 2

   Count doors, drawers, and built-ins

   A quick count of doors, drawer fronts, open shelving, and any built-in hutch helps us plan spray batches and gives you a clearer estimate. Include pantry cabinets and bathroom vanities if you want them to match.

3. 3

   Choose color in real light

   Kitchen light changes through the day, and cabinets cover a lot of wall. Paint a large sample board and look at it morning and evening before deciding, especially next to your countertop, backsplash, and floor, since those stay in place.
