What is the difference between cabinet refinishing and cabinet painting?

Refinishing keeps the natural wood grain visible: the existing finish is stripped or sanded, the wood is stained in the color you choose, and durable clear coats are applied. Cabinet painting covers the grain with a sprayed, opaque, factory-smooth color. Both keep your existing cabinet boxes and doors, which is what makes either option a fraction of the cost of replacement. Read more on cabinet refinishing and cabinet painting.

How much does cabinet refinishing or painting cost in Orange County?

Cabinet painting runs $150 to $200 per door and $50 to $100 per drawer front, which puts an average 30-door Orange County kitchen around $4,500 to $6,000 all-in. Refinishing runs $225 to $300 per door and $75 to $150 per drawer front, or roughly $6,750 to $9,000 for the same kitchen, because each door is taken back before the new finish goes on. Both are a fraction of replacement, which typically runs $15,000 to $40,000 or more. What moves the number is the door and drawer count, the condition of the boxes, and whether you are staying with a stain or changing color. Prices are all-in including paint and materials, our typical minimum job is $300 to $500, estimates are free, and the work carries a two-year workmanship warranty. Call (949) 320-3095 for a number on your kitchen.

How does a job run from estimate to finish?

An Onyx GC job runs in four steps: a free estimate with a clear number and no pressure; prep first, meaning masking, drywall repair, sanding and priming; the finish itself, with cabinet doors sprayed flat and cured and walls and trim cut in clean while the site is kept tidy every day; and a final walkthrough with you before the job is called done.

Are estimates free?

Onyx GC estimates are free and there is no pressure attached to one. Call (949) 320-3095 during business hours or send the estimate form on the homepage.

What are Onyx GC's hours?

Onyx GC is open Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Saturday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Closed Sunday.

Does Onyx GC do kitchen and bathroom remodels?

Onyx GC does take on kitchen and bathroom remodels. That work is done under the company's Class B General Building license, and one contractor handles the cabinets, paint and drywall, so you are not coordinating several trades yourself.
