Cabinet Refinishing in Gretna, LA

Older McDonoghville kitchens are frequently solid wood or wood veneer, and both take a finish considerably better than most of what has been built since. The boxes are usually worth keeping.

Degreasing decides whether it lasts. A kitchen deposits cooking oil on every surface within reach of the hob for as long as it has existed, and no primer made will stick through it, which is why the step dropped from a cheap quote is precisely the step the job depends on and why cheap cabinet work lifts at the door edges inside a year.

Doors and drawer fronts off and numbered, hardware off instead of being cut around, then sand, prime and thin coats with real cure time between them. Gulf South humidity lengthens the cure through summer, so a July kitchen carries more days than a November one.

On older cabinets the hinges are worth their own look. A door that has dropped even slightly will never sit square in its opening however well its face has been finished, and on the deep-set kitchens common through McDonoghville that shows immediately because the runs are long and the eye follows the line all the way down.

Boxes are done in place with the room contained. You lose the cupboards, not the kitchen.
