Mid City
Craftsman bungalows, shotguns and cottages, and the kitchens in them are frequently original or early replacement. Solid wood takes a finish well, so refinishing is usually better value here than replacing.

Cabinet Refinishing in Baton Rouge, LA
Cabinet refinishing in Baton Rouge frequently means older cabinets, and that is mostly good news.
The job here
What cabinet refinishing in Baton Rouge actually involves
Cabinet refinishing in Baton Rouge frequently means older cabinets, and that is mostly good news. Through the Mid City bungalows and the older stock in the historic districts the boxes and doors are usually solid wood or wood veneer, both of which take a finish far better than anything made in the last thirty years.
What they also carry is decades of accumulated cooking oil. A kitchen deposits it on every surface within reach of the hob for as long as that kitchen has existed, and on a sixty-year-old kitchen that is a great deal of it. No primer made will stick through grease, which is why degreasing properly is the step that decides whether the job lasts and the first step dropped from a cheap quote.
Doors and drawer fronts come off and get numbered, and the hardware comes off with them instead of being cut around. On older cabinets the hinges are often worth a conversation of their own, since a door that has dropped will not sit right however well it is finished.
Then sand, prime and thin coats with real cure time between them. Summer humidity here lengthens that, so a kitchen quoted honestly in July carries more days than the same kitchen in November, and we build that in instead of handing back doors that are still soft.
Boxes are done in place with the room contained, so you lose the use of the cupboards for the run of the job and not the kitchen itself.
On the ground
Where we do this work in Baton Rouge
Spanish Town
The oldest stock in the city. A kitchen here may hold the better part of a century of accumulated cooking grease, along with hinges that dropped so long ago nobody in the house notices the doors sitting crooked any more. Both get dealt with first.
Why the quote says two
A coat and a job are different things
Painting a house here is a different job from painting one in a dry climate. Humidity changes how long a coat stays open, and it decides how much film you need on a wall before the weather starts taking it back.
First coat
Bond and coverage
The first coat is doing a different job from the second. It bonds to what is underneath and it tells us where the substrate is still drinking, which is information you only get once paint is actually on the wall.
Second coat
Color and film build
The second coat is where the color goes true and the film reaches the thickness printed on the tin. One coat over a sound wall looks fine from the driveway and looks thin on the north side by spring.

View more FAQsMy cabinets are from the 1950s. Are they worth refinishing?
Usually yes, and often more worth it than newer ones. Solid wood and wood veneer take a finish well. The question is the condition of the boxes and the hinges, not the age of the doors.
Why does degreasing matter so much?
Because paint does not stick to cooking oil, and an older kitchen holds decades of it. Skip that step and the finish lifts at the door edges within a year no matter how good the paint was.
Can you match the paint color already on the walls?
Yes. For most projects our paint specialists can match almost any color on your home from a chip or a wet sample. If an exact match is not possible we will talk you through the next best option.
How often should I paint?
It varies by material and exposure. Stucco every 5 to 6 years. Painted brick 15 to 20 years. Aluminum siding every 5 to 6 years. A wall that takes afternoon sun will always come due first.
Do I need to move furniture before the crew arrives?
No. Our team covers and protects furniture and floors. If a piece is delicate or awkward to move, it is worth taking it out of the room beforehand.
Is the second coat included in the price you quote?
Yes. Every estimate is written for two coats over prepared surface, and the number you get is the number for the finished job. If a surface genuinely only needs one, we say so and the quote comes down instead of staying where it was.
