Oak Cabinet Refinishing

Honey oak cabinets are usually solid and well built. We give them a new finish, painted smooth or re-stained, without replacing a single box.

Painting oak

Smooth paint, or grain that shows.

Oak has open grain. Painted directly, that grain shows through as texture, which some people like and some don't. For a smooth, furniture-like painted finish, we grain-fill the doors and frames first, then prime and spray.

Prefer wood? We can strip, sand and re-stain oak in a warmer or darker tone and seal it in a modern clear coat.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can you paint oak cabinets?

Yes. With the right prep, oak paints beautifully. Grain filling gives a smooth finish; without it, the oak grain texture shows through the paint.

What is grain filling?

A filler applied to oak's open pores and sanded flat before priming, so the painted surface is smooth instead of textured.

Can oak cabinets be re-stained instead of painted?

Yes. We can strip, sand and re-stain them in a new tone and seal them with a modern clear coat.

Refinished, not replaced.
