Painting, Staining, and Refinishing
Refinish older cabinets or get your new cabinets painted or stained

At Edgewood Cabinetry, we specialize in bringing old cabinets back to life. No matter where they are in your home – be it the kitchen, bathroom, office, or library – we can refinish them to look new again. Older cabinets can often be refreshed instead of replaced, saving you both time and money.

If you’ve recently bought new cabinets and are looking to either paint or stain them, we’ve got you covered. Let us know what type of wood they are, and we’ll guide you through the best painting or staining choices. Maybe you have a specific paint shade in mind or perhaps you’re considering a particular stain to bring out the wood’s natural beauty – whatever your preference, our team at Edgewood Cabinetry is here to assist. With our expertise, not only will your new cabinets enhance the room’s appeal, but they’ll also be treated to last for years to come.

Advantages of Refinishing Older Cabinets

Refinishing older cabinets presents an array of advantages, not just for the look of the space they occupy but for your wallet as well.

By choosing to refinish, you’re extending the life of your cabinets, reducing the need for a complete overhaul. This is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly, minimizing waste and promoting sustainability.
Refinishing provides an opportunity to transform the entire vibe of a room. With the correct finish, those old, worn-out cabinets can get a fresh, contemporary feel or embrace a classic elegance, depending on your preference. The flexibility in style choice ensures that you’re not bound by the cabinet’s original design.
Older cabinets, especially those in heritage homes, often have unique craftsmanship and detail not commonly found in modern mass-produced cabinets. By refinishing them, you preserve and showcase the artistry and history that they bring to your home.

At Edgewood Cabinetry, our extensive experience spans both the realms of crafting new cabinets and breathing life back into the old ones. We understand the intricacies of different wood types, the subtleties in various finishes, and the techniques that promise longevity. Our team ensures that the refinishing process accentuates the cabinet’s best features, making them look as good as new. Our seasoned approach means that your older cabinets won’t just get a new outer sheen but will be treated with the care and expertise they deserve.

Staining Cabinets

Best Wood Types for Staining and Stain Choices

Staining not only showcases the natural beauty of wood but also enhances its unique textures and grains. At Edgewood Cabinetry, our experience has shown that the choice of wood deeply influences the outcome of the staining process. Here’s a brief on how we approach different woods:

Oak: Oak’s prominent grain pattern absorbs stains wonderfully. Depending on the chosen shade, we can either emphasize or subdue its grain. It works exceptionally well with medium to dark stains, adding richness and depth to your cabinets.
Cherry: Cherry wood naturally darkens over time. With its fine grain, it provides a smooth finish. We’ve seen beautiful results with reddish-brown stains, which enhance cherry’s innate warmth and elegance.
Maple: Maple is versatile and presents a mostly even texture. Its light hue makes it receptive to a variety of stain colors. Whether you desire a light, natural finish or a darker tone, maple adapts beautifully.
Ash: Known for its strong grain pattern similar to oak, ash responds well to both light and dark stains. It can achieve a rustic or contemporary look, depending on the stain chosen.

When it comes to trendy stains, Edgewood Cabinetry is always updated. From subtle honey tones to rich espresso or weathered gray, we have an extensive range to choose from. If you’re aiming for a more bespoke look, we work closely with you to determine the best stain shade that aligns with your design vision and the room’s aesthetics. With us, expect a flawless and lasting finish that emphasizes the beauty of your chosen wood.

Painting Cabinets

Best Wood Types for Painting and Color Choices

At Edgewood Cabinetry, we understand that the type of wood your cabinets are made of plays a crucial role in the final appearance when painted. Each wood type comes with its own texture and grain, which impacts how our professional painting process takes to it. Here’s how we handle different wood types:

Pine: A frequently encountered wood in many homes. Due to its light color and smooth surface, it provides a great base for painting. However, pine often has knots that can show through the paint. Our team ensures these are properly primed to achieve a seamless look.
Oak: This wood is known for its pronounced grain pattern. When we paint over oak, the grain might subtly show, offering a unique textured appearance that many of our clients love. It’s adaptable, and we’ve worked with a range of paint colors on oak cabinets.
Maple: A favorite because of its smooth, non-porous surface. Without a dominant grain, maple is perfect for clients looking for a sleek, untextured painted finish.
Birch: It’s as smooth as maple, but often comes at a more approachable price point. We’ve found that birch holds paint exceptionally well, resulting in a consistent and lasting finish.

For the color palette, Edgewood Cabinetry offers a broad spectrum. Classic whites and off-whites are always in demand, but we also provide modern shades like grays, blues, and greens. Whatever your vision, we can match it. If you have a specific shade in mind or want to align with the ambiance of your room, trust in Edgewood to bring your vision to life. We always ensure the chosen color complements your space and stands the test of time.

Pete does a great job of taking the time to understand what you're looking for and then strives to execute that vision.  He sketched up a quick 3D image of what our kitchen would look like to convey drawers vs. doors and where appliances would go, and that went a long way to help us visualize the finished product.  He took the time to provide several samples of finishes so that we could fine tune the final look to our liking.For the bathroom, we hired a contractor for the renovation and had the opportunity to request that Pete build the vanity.  He integrated seamlessly into the overall construction process, again taking the time to understand what we were looking for and then provided several samples to get the finish just right.  He worked with our contractor to determine what dimensions he needed to work to, and everything came together without issue.  We weren't sure where to find mirrors for the bathroom, and Pete was able to build those too.My wife and I have enjoyed both experiences working with Pete, and he's our first call for any cabinetry projects in the future. read less
