Restore the beauty of your existing cabinets with professional refinishing. Expert staining, glazing, and protective clear coats for a like-new appearance.
Cabinet refinishing is the smart choice for homeowners who want to preserve the natural beauty of their wood cabinets while giving them a fresh, updated look. Unlike cabinet painting, which covers the wood grain entirely, refinishing enhances and protects the natural character of your existing cabinetry. At Onyx GC, we specialize in expert cabinet refinishing that restores worn, faded, or outdated cabinets to their original glory or transforms them with a completely new stain color.
Our cabinet refinishing services are available throughout Orange County, including Lake Forest, Irvine, Mission Viejo, Laguna Hills, Rancho Santa Margarita, and surrounding communities. With decades of combined experience in wood finishing and restoration, our team understands how different wood species respond to various stains and finishes, allowing us to achieve consistent, professional results on every project.
Cabinet refinishing involves stripping or sanding the existing finish from your cabinet surfaces, then applying new stain and protective topcoats. This process is ideal for solid wood cabinets that are structurally sound but have a finish that has become worn, scratched, faded, or simply no longer matches your desired aesthetic. Refinishing allows you to change the color of your cabinets while maintaining the visible wood grain pattern that gives natural wood its warmth and character.
Our refinishing process begins with careful removal of all doors, drawers, and hardware. We then strip or sand the existing finish to bare wood, repair any damage such as scratches, dents, or water marks, and prepare all surfaces for the new finish. We apply premium wood stains in your chosen color, building depth and richness with multiple applications as needed. Finally, we seal everything with durable catalyzed clear coats that protect against moisture, heat, and daily wear.
Replacing kitchen cabinets typically costs between $15,000 and $40,000 or more for an average kitchen. Professional cabinet refinishing delivers a stunning transformation at a fraction of that cost, typically saving homeowners 60-80% compared to full replacement. The process is also significantly faster and less disruptive, with most kitchen cabinet refinishing projects completed in three to five days versus the weeks or months required for a full cabinet replacement.
