At Detroit Kitchen Reface, we use only professional-grade coatings and time-tested preparation techniques to ensure a finish that looks factory-fresh and lasts for years. Every job includes thorough surface prep, premium primer, and multiple top coats for maximum durability.
We begin with thorough surface prep — cleaning, degreasing, and light sanding. We apply a professional-grade primer formulated for cabinet adhesion, followed by 2–3 coats of our premium topcoat. All cabinet hardware is removed and reinstalled after the finish is fully cured. The result is a smooth, factory-quality finish that you'll love for years.

Refinishing involves stripping and repainting or restaining the existing cabinet surfaces for a completely new color. Refacing replaces the cabinet doors and drawer fronts while keeping the existing cabinet boxes — a more extensive transformation that also lets you change the door style.
A professionally applied cabinet finish typically lasts 7–15 years with normal use and proper care. We use premium coatings and offer a warranty on our workmanship.
