Clear Expectations & Fit Filter

Who We Are NOT a Fit For

We believe in total transparency. We focus exclusively on high-prep, industrial-grade refinishing & painting that lasts for years. To protect your time and ours, here is when another painter might be a better match:

We Are NOT a Fit If:

  • You want a 1-day slapdash coat over dirty, greasy cabinets

    Proper refinishing requires thorough degreasing, sanding, bonding primer, and multi-layer curing.

  • You are looking for cheap wall latex hand-brushed on doors

    We use specialized HVLP sprayers and industrial cabinet finishes (SW / BM / PPG / UV-cure) for a smooth factory finish.

  • You want to skip floor, countertop, and room containment

    We mask and protect every surface in your home with plastic sheeting and HEPA dust containment.

  • You prefer unverified handymen with no written project scope

    We provide written specs, owner-led review by Stan Putilov, and a final walkthrough.

We ARE the Perfect Fit If:

  • You want factory-smooth, durable cabinet or interior finishes

    HVLP spraying, fine sanding, and chemical bonding primer that won't chip or peel.

  • You appreciate clean work, punctuality, and dust protection

    Your home stays protected, clean, and accessible throughout the refinishing process.

  • You value owner-led quality control and transparent pricing

    Stan Putilov personally oversees craft standards and final walkthrough for every project.

  • You want a written scope and independent customer feedback

    Review the project scope before work and visit our Google and Thumbtack profiles for customer feedback.

❓ Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our services in Charlotte.

Pricing and timeline guidance Warranty and prep standards Local scheduling context
How much does cabinet refinishing cost in Charlotte?
Cabinet refinishing scope depends on door and drawer count, surface condition, finish choice, and required preparation. A written estimate is prepared after the project scope is reviewed.
How long does cabinet refinishing take?
The schedule depends on cabinet count, surface condition, preparation, finish system, cure requirements, and site access. The expected sequence is documented in the written scope.
What's the difference between cabinet refinishing and painting?
Cabinet refinishing involves stripping, sanding, and applying new stain or finish to the existing wood. Cabinet painting involves priming and painting over the existing surface. Both provide excellent results; refinishing is ideal for wood grain lovers, while painting offers unlimited color options.
How much can I save compared to replacing cabinets?
Refinishing keeps the existing cabinet structure and focuses on surface preparation and finish renewal. Replacement changes the cabinet construction itself, so the right path depends on the condition and goals for the kitchen.
How long will refinished cabinets last?
Finish performance depends on the existing substrate, preparation, coating system, and routine care. We discuss appropriate cleaning and maintenance for the selected finish at project handoff.
Can you refinish laminate or thermofoil cabinets?
Laminate and thermofoil require a surface-condition review before a coating system can be specified. We document suitability and required preparation in the written scope.
Can you paint oak, maple, MDF, or cherry cabinets?
Yes. We refinish and paint oak, maple, MDF, and cherry cabinets regularly. Each material needs specific prep and primers to ensure long-lasting adhesion and a smooth, factory-quality finish.
Do you cover East, Northeast, Northwest, and Southeast Charlotte?
We serve Charlotte and surrounding areas. Contact us with the project address so we can confirm current availability.
