Update Your Kitchen Without Replacing Cabinets

Cabinet refinishing services in Martinsville that repaint and restore kitchen and bathroom cabinets for a cleaner, updated look.

When you open your kitchen cabinets in Martinsville, you may notice chipped edges, faded paint, or sticky residue around handles that will not wipe clean. Years of cooking heat, humidity, and daily use leave cabinets looking worn even when the structure remains solid. Perkins Painting and Pressure Washing Inc. refinishes cabinets by sanding, priming, and repainting them so they look clean and uniform without requiring full replacement or new cabinet boxes.

The service works for wood, laminate, and previously painted cabinets in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and storage areas. We remove doors and hardware, clean all surfaces, sand to remove old finish, apply bonding primer, and finish with durable topcoats that resist moisture and daily wear. The result is a consistent color and smooth finish that updates the room without demolition or new construction.

If your cabinets are structurally sound but look dated or worn, reach out to discuss cabinet refinishing options in Martinsville.

What happens between removal and reinstallation

We start by removing cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and all hardware so each piece can be prepped and painted separately. In Martinsville homes, most cabinets are wood or wood-veneer construction with oil-based or latex finishes that need sanding to accept new paint. We clean grease buildup, sand to smooth the surface, and apply a bonding primer that prevents peeling on glossy or previously sealed wood.

Once the work is complete, you will notice that cabinet doors close smoothly without sticking, surfaces feel smooth to the touch, and color is uniform across all panels without streaks or brush marks. The finish resists fingerprints and wipes clean without leaving residue, and hinges and handles are reinstalled in their original positions unless you request new hardware placement.

Cabinet refinishing focuses on existing structures and does not include replacing boxes, modifying layouts, or installing new countertops. The process takes several days because each coat must dry before the next is applied, and doors remain off cabinets during drying. We work inside your home, so access to the kitchen or bathroom will be limited during prep and painting.

Common concerns about cabinet refinishing projects

Homeowners in Martinsville often ask how long the process takes, whether all cabinets can be refinished, and what the finished result looks like compared to new cabinets.

How long does cabinet refinishing take?
Most projects take three to five days depending on the number of cabinets, drying time between coats, and weather humidity. You will not have full access to the kitchen during that period.
What types of cabinets can be refinished?
We refinish wood, wood-veneer, and previously painted cabinets. Laminate cabinets can be painted with proper bonding primer, but thermofoil or vinyl-wrapped cabinets do not accept paint reliably and are not good candidates for refinishing.
What finish options are available?
You can choose from satin, semi-gloss, or gloss finishes in any color. Semi-gloss is most common for kitchens because it resists moisture and wipes clean without showing wear quickly.
Why should I refinish instead of replacing cabinets?
Refinishing costs significantly less than replacement and avoids demolition, plumbing adjustments, and countertop removal. If your cabinet boxes are solid and layouts work for your needs, refinishing updates appearance without construction.
How long does the finish last?
With proper care, refinished cabinets last five to ten years before showing wear. Avoid abrasive cleaners and wipe spills promptly to maintain the finish and prevent moisture damage around sinks.
