Cabinet painting in Phoenix, factory-smooth.

Here's how a Novak cabinet refinish actually runs, so you're not guessing what you're paying for or how long your kitchen is out of commission.

1. Walk the kitchen and quote in person. Cody opens doors, checks the box condition and door material, and confirms whether refinishing is the right call before quoting. That in-person look is what the number is built on, not a photo over the phone. 2. Remove and label. We take off every door, drawer front, and the hardware, and label each piece so it goes back exactly where it came from. Doors and fronts head to a controlled space to be sprayed flat and dust-free. 3. Degrease, sand, and mask. Every surface gets degreased to strip cooking oils, then scuff-sanded so the primer can bite. We mask the countertops, backsplash, floors, and appliances, and seal the room so overspray stays off everything that isn't a cabinet. 4. Bonding primer, then enamel. A bonding primer goes on first because cabinet faces are slick and previously finished. Then two coats of a hard cabinet-grade enamel, sprayed, with a light sand between coats so the final surface levels out smooth. 5. Rehang, adjust, and walk it with you. Doors and drawers go back on, hinges get adjusted so everything sits square and closes clean, hardware goes back or new hardware goes on, and we walk the kitchen with you before we call it done.

On cost: nobody can quote a cabinet job honestly without opening the doors. What moves the number is the number of doors and drawer fronts, whether you want the interiors sprayed or just the faces, the current finish (thermofoil and laminate take more prep than wood), and whether you're changing hardware or adding new pulls. That's exactly why the estimate is free and done in person. Call (715) 223-7083 and we'll come look before quoting.
