Cabinet Refinishing, Refacing & Resurfacing in Fremont, CA
Authority Painting offers cabinet refinishing, refacing, and resurfacing for homes in Fremont, Alameda County, and the East Bay. These are related but distinct ways to update cabinets, and the right one depends on the condition of your cabinets and the scope you agree on.
Refinishing
Refinishing applies a new finish, such as paint, to the existing cabinet boxes, doors, and drawer fronts. It generally suits cabinets that are structurally sound and that you want to keep, with a new color or a refreshed look.
Refacing
Refacing keeps the existing cabinet boxes but changes the visible faces — typically new doors and drawer fronts, with the exposed frames covered to match. It is an option when the boxes are in usable shape but the doors and fronts no longer suit you.
Resurfacing
Resurfacing focuses on the outer surfaces of existing cabinets, renewing or covering them to change their appearance without replacing the cabinets. How it is carried out depends on the existing material.
Not every cabinet suits every method
Water damage, loose joints, warped doors, and certain existing materials can limit which option makes sense. The estimate is where the cabinets are looked at and the suitable approach is discussed.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between refinishing and refacing?
Refinishing puts a new finish on your existing cabinets. Refacing keeps the cabinet boxes but changes the visible doors, drawer fronts, and frame surfaces.
Can my cabinets be refinished?
It depends on their condition and material. That is assessed during the free estimate, and not every cabinet is a good fit for every method.
Do you work on bathroom cabinets too?
Cabinet work is not limited to kitchens. Describe the cabinets you want updated when you request an estimate.
