Cabinet Refinishing in Hammond, LA

For the rentals the constraint is the window, not the finish, and we would rather be honest about it: cure time is not compressible. A finish needs real time to harden between thin coats, and handing doors back soft to meet a date means chipped edges before the tenancy is out.

For family kitchens the constraint is the grease. Every kitchen deposits cooking oil on the surfaces within reach of the hob for as long as it has existed, and no primer made will stick through it. Degreasing properly is the step that decides the job.

Either way the method is the same. Doors and drawer fronts off and numbered, hardware off instead of being cut around, then sand, prime and thin coats with real time between them.

Pine country shows up indoors as well as out. A good deal of the older cabinetry around Cate Square and Zemurray Park is softwood, which takes a finish perfectly well but marks more easily than hardwood does, so sheen matters more here than it might elsewhere and we steer you up a step on anything handled daily.

Boxes are done in place with the room contained, so the kitchen itself stays usable the whole way through, which on a rental turnaround is the difference between a property that can be shown to the next tenant midway and one that cannot be shown at all until the crew has finished and gone.
