Cabinet refinishing is the best-kept secret in kitchen renovation. For roughly 30% of the cost of new cabinets, we transform dated oak, maple, or laminate into a finish that looks factory-sprayed — because it is. We remove every door and drawer face, take them to our shop, sand, prime, spray in a controlled environment, and cure for 72 hours before reinstalling.
A standard Coeur d'Alene kitchen with 25–35 doors and drawers runs $3,500–$8,000 depending on finish choice and whether the boxes need sprayed (usually yes). Timeline is 5–7 days total, with 2–3 days where the kitchen is partially unusable. We tape off and protect everything else.

Every door and drawer face is labeled, removed, and transported to our shop. Hardware is bagged and kept safe.

In our controlled shop: sand, degrease, prime, spray 2–3 coats of urethane enamel, then cure for 72 hours.
Reinstall & final walk
We spray the boxes in your kitchen, reinstall the cured doors, re-hang hardware, and walk every cabinet with you.

Frequently asked questions.
How much does cabinet refinishing cost in Coeur d'Alene?
A standard Coeur d'Alene kitchen (25–35 doors and drawers) runs $3,500–$8,000 depending on finish and whether the boxes are included. That is roughly 30% of the cost of replacement.
How long does cabinet refinishing take?
Total project: 5–7 days from door removal to reinstall. Your kitchen is partially unusable for 2–3 of those days while boxes are sprayed and cured.
Can you refinish oak, maple, or laminate cabinets?
Yes to all three. Oak requires extra grain-filling. Laminate requires a bonding primer. Maple takes finish beautifully. We assess the substrate during the walkthrough.
