Our Process

Our Process

At Elegant Finishes Inc., we believe in setting ourselves apart by delivering exceptional results through the use of high-quality products. That's why we exclusively choose products from the trusted Sherwin Williams Industrial Wood Coatings line that have been approved by the KCMA (Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association) for all our painting projects.  These products have been carefully selected for their ability to provide a rich, even finish that radiates elegance and sophistication. With outstanding durability and abrasion resistance, our clients can expect their kitchen cabinets to maintain their beauty for years to come.


We understand the importance of using products specifically designed for the task at hand, which is why we refrain from using latex paint, chalk paint, or trim paint for cabinet painting. Instead, we opt for the KCMA (Kitchnen Cabinet Manufacturers Association) coatings that are specially formulated to meet the unique demands of kitchen cabinets.


At Elegant Finishes, our focus is on delivering top-notch craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. By using superior products and employing skilled professionals, we aim to create stunning kitchen cabinets that elevate the overall aesthetic of our clients' homes. Your satisfaction and the beauty of your space are our top priorities, and we're committed to achieving them through the use of the finest products available in the market. From the project's initiation to its completion, we are committed to providing you with a seamless and professional experience, ensuring your complete satisfaction.

On-Site


Our on-site process at Elegant Finishes is meticulously designed to ensure the best results for your cabinet and furniture refinishing project:

  1. Removal of Cabinet Doors and Drawers: We start by removing cabinet doors and drawers, transporting them to our workshop for specialized treatment.
  2. Surface Preparation: Our expert team takes care of every detail, including taping and covering all non-painted surfaces, setting up a plastic zip wall to contain dust and overspray, and thoroughly cleaning cabinet bases to eliminate oil and grease.
  3. Repairs and Smoothing: We address any necessary repairs, ensuring your cabinets are in top shape. Afterward, we meticulously sand the cabinet bases, creating a smooth and adhesive surface for the finishing process.
  4. Primer Application: We apply a specialty primer to enhance adhesion and ensure a long-lasting finish. This primer is a crucial step in achieving the desired result.
  5. Base Coat Application: Our skilled craftsmen use specialized cabinet paint to apply base coats, providing your cabinets with a flawless finish that complements your space.
  6. Cleanup and Final Touches: After all the painting is complete, we remove all protective materials, tape, and plastic, leaving your space clean, refreshed, and ready to showcase your beautifully refinished cabinets and furniture.
