Cabinet refinishing questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to the questions Toronto and GTA homeowners ask before refinishing or refacing their kitchen cabinets.
01
Choosing a service
Refinishing renews suitable existing doors and cabinet surfaces. Refacing adds new doors and drawer fronts. Full replacement is usually reserved for damaged boxes or a major layout change.
02
Preparing for a quote
Photograph the kitchen from several angles, include close-ups of any damage, count doors and drawers, and share your city and preferred colour or door style. This gives P2D enough context for a useful first review.
Frequently asked questions
Plan your project with confidence.
How long does cabinet refinishing take?
A complete kitchen transformation can take around one to two weeks, with timing confirmed from the project size, preparation and finish requirements.
Is refinishing cheaper than replacing cabinets?
Usually, because the existing cabinet boxes and suitable doors are retained. The exact saving depends on the kitchen and the replacement specification being compared.
Can P2D refinish laminate or melamine?
Many laminate and melamine surfaces can be refinished with the correct cleaning, abrasion and bonding-primer system. An inspection confirms the material and condition.
Can I choose any cabinet colour?
P2D offers custom colour planning. Final colours should be approved with a physical sample because screens and kitchen lighting can change how a colour appears.
Are the doors sprayed or brushed?
Doors and drawer fronts are professionally sprayed in a controlled facility. Fixed cabinet surfaces are prepared and finished on site using the process specified for the project.
How do I care for the new finish?
Use a soft cloth, mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh solvents, standing moisture and excessive heat.
