Cabinet Refinishing vs. Replacing

Brixel Lacquer Spraying

Highly Cost-Effective Choice. We clean, sand, prime, and spray-apply KCMA polyurethane lacquer, providing a factory-grade finish. Zero remodeling mess, completed in 5 days.

Refacing Cabinets

Moderate Investment Choice. Installing new door fronts and veneering the cabinet boxes. A mid-tier alternative, but significantly more expensive than spraying.

Full Kitchen Replacement

High Investment Choice. Complete tear-out of boxes, countertops, and appliances. Highly disruptive, taking weeks to complete and requiring multiple trades.

  • On-site masking of all walls, floors, & appliances

  • Chemical cleaning to strip grease & wax
  • Fine scuff-sanding of all wood/MDF surfaces
  • HVLP spray application of industrial primer & lacquer

We use post-catalyzed polyurethane lacquers (KCMA certified). These coatings are specifically designed for kitchen environments, resisting grease, heat, impact, and standard household cleaners.
