## Kitchen cabinet refinishing in Rochester
Kitchen cabinet refinishing involves restoring the existing cabinet boxes and doors rather than replacing them entirely. In Rochester, where many homes feature solid wood cabinets from the mid-20th century, refinishing can breathe new life into tired kitchens without the disruption and expense of a full remodel. The process begins with a thorough cleaning and degreasing to remove years of cooking residue. Then, any dents, scratches, or loose joints are repaired. The original finish is lightly sanded to create a bonding surface, and a high-quality primer is applied to block stains and ensure adhesion. Finally, two coats of durable, low-VOC paint or stain are sprayed on using professional equipment, resulting in a smooth, factory-like finish that withstands Rochester’s humid summers and cold winters.
Why does this matter for Rochester properties? Many of the city’s historic homes — from the Arts and Crafts bungalows in the 19th Ward to the Colonials in the ABC Streets Neighborhood — have original cabinets that are structurally sound but visually dated. Refinishing preserves the character of these homes while updating the look. It also addresses common issues like peeling laminate or worn-out stains that plague kitchens in older neighborhoods such as Arnett and Barnard. For homeowners in Beechwood or Brown Square, where kitchens often serve as the family hub, refinishing offers a cost-effective way to boost resale value and daily enjoyment without the mess of a full tear-out. The work is done on-site, so your kitchen remains functional during the process, with only a few days of light disruption.

## What to Expect

- Light sanding and cleaning of all surfaces, followed by professional-grade primer and two coats of paint or stain.
- Reinstallation of doors and hardware after curing — typically within three to five days.
- A final walkthrough to ensure the finish is even, smooth, and free of drips or imperfections.
