Our Process: What to Expect

At ImageWorks Painting, our cabinet painting and refinishing process goes beyond a mere application of paint – it's a meticulous and transformative journey aimed at delivering top quality results that withstand the demands of a busy kitchen.

Here's what you can expect when you choose our services:

1 - Thorough Preparation
Before any paint touches the cabinets, our team takes the time to prepare your kitchen meticulously. We go beyond basic painting applications, including fully bagging the kitchen for protection of all surfaces, covering ventilation, and safeguard floors, walls, and other items from potential damage and overspray. Our commitment is to leave your space as clean and seemingly untouched as possible – aside from the beautiful improvement to your cabinets.

2 - Removal of Doors and Hardware
To ensure a seamless and comprehensive painting process, we remove all cabinet doors, drawers and hardware. If you desire a fresh look, we offer the option to replace the hardware with new selections that complement your chosen design.

3 - Transportation to Our Shop
Your cabinet faces embark on a safe and protected journey to our shop, where they undergo meticulous preparation and painting with our state-of-the-art wood-finishing spray systems. This off-site process ensures a dustless environment for spraying and drying, conducive to achieving the high-quality finish we strive for, away from the hustle and bustle of your kitchen.

4 - Specialty Paints and Systems
We understand that cabinets endure heavy use in a kitchen environment, and the shop applied finishes we use are not the same products available at the local paint store. We finish your cabinets with imported catalyzed wood finish systems tailored for cabinet painting and refinishing. Our products are selected to provide durability, longevity, and a stunning finish that elevates the aesthetic of your kitchen.

5 - Attention to Detail
The devil is in the details, and we take this to heart. Every step of our process involves meticulous attention to detail, from surface preparation to the final coats of paint. We ensure a smooth, beautiful finish intended to exceed your expectations.

6 - Replacement Hardware
If you've chosen to update your cabinet hardware, we seamlessly integrate new selections during the reassembly process. This final touch enhances the overall look and functionality of your cabinets.

7 - Return to Your Kitchen
Once your cabinets have undergone their transformation in our shop, we return them to your kitchen. Our team meticulously reassembles and installs the doors, ensuring that every element aligns perfectly and contributes to the cohesive design.

Cost Savings over Complete Replacement

Cabinet refinishing is significantly more cost-effective than complete replacement. It allows homeowners to update their kitchen's look without the hefty expense of buying and installing new cabinetry. This approach can save a substantial amount of money, especially in large kitchens or for high-end cabinetry.

Customizable Options for a Personalized Kitchen Look

Refinishing offers a wide range of customizable options. Homeowners can choose from various colors, finishes, and techniques to match their kitchen's style or create a new look. This flexibility allows for a personalized kitchen that reflects individual tastes and home decor trends.

Quick Turnaround Time Compared to Other Renovation Methods

Compared to other renovation methods, cabinet refinishing is faster. There's no need for the lengthy process of removing old cabinets and installing new ones. This efficiency minimizes kitchen downtime, allowing homeowners to enjoy their newly updated kitchen sooner and with way less hassle and disruption to daily life.

Refinishing, Refacing, or Replacing: Which One Do You Need?

Refinishing:

Refinishing or painting keeps your existing doors, drawer fronts, and boxes. We strip, prep, and apply a new finish. This is the right call when the cabinet boxes are solid and the layout works, and you simply want a different color or a fresh surface. It's the fastest option and the least disruptive to your kitchen.

Refacing:

Refacing keeps the boxes but replaces the doors and drawer fronts entirely, with new veneer applied to the exposed frames. Choose this when the boxes are sound but the door style itself is dated, or the doors are damaged past the point where a new finish would hide it.

Replacement:

Full replacement means new cabinetry throughout. It's the answer when the layout needs to change, when the boxes are water-damaged or failing, or when you're adding storage that doesn't exist today.

Most of the Pittsburgh kitchens we look at are refinishing candidates. Solid boxes, tired finish, a color that dated itself a decade ago. If yours is a refacing or replacement job, we'll tell you that during the estimate rather than talk you into a finish that won't solve the problem.

Expertise Beyond Just Painting: We don’t just apply paint to cabinets. We use specialized products and techniques to ensure a high-quality result that's both aesthetically pleasing and durable, standing up to the heavy use a kitchen endures.
Comprehensive Service Approach: The cabinet refinishing process includes all disassembly, protection, and transportation of cabinet faces, along with covering ventilation, and protecting floors, walls, and other items from damage and overspray. We ensure that every aspect of the job is handled with care and professionalism.

Specialized Painting Techniques: We use specialty paints and systems for refinishing, ensuring a superior finish that is both beautiful and functional.
Dedicated to Quality and Satisfaction: As a painting company with a strong commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, we take pride in offering top-notch services. Our goal is to deliver a finish that exceeds expectations and transforms your kitchen into a space you'll love.

Are white kitchen cabinets out in 2026?

White cabinets aren’t out. Stark, cool whites are simply less dominant. Warmer off-whites and creamy tones look more current, especially when paired with wood, texture, and warmer metals.

Should I paint upper and lower cabinets different colors in 2026?

Two-tone cabinets remain popular. A common approach is light uppers with deeper lowers (or a statement island). Keep countertops and backsplash quieter so the cabinet colors stay intentional.

What’s the difference between refinishing and resurfacing cabinets?

Refinishing and resurfacing are terms often used interchangeably, but they refer to different processes when it comes to cabinets. Refinishing is more about restoring the original wood finish, while resurfacing is about giving cabinets a new external layer or appearance. Both processes offer cost-effective alternatives to full cabinet replacement, allowing you to achieve a refreshed look in your kitchen or other spaces.

How much does it cost to refinish cabinets?

Cabinet refinishing can range from a few thousand dollars on a smaller project to sometimes well over $10,000 for large projects, far less than the 15,000 to 50,000 a homeowner would spend on new cabinets.

Is it worth repainting cabinets?

Repainting kitchen cabinets can be a worthwhile investment, depending on your goals, budget, and the condition of your existing cabinets. If your cabinets are in good condition, and you want a cost-effective way to refresh your kitchen's look, repainting can be a great decision. However, if you're seeking extensive customization, enhanced functionality, or addressing structural issues, investing in new cabinets might be more suitable.

Are dark cabinets still in style in 2026?

Yes, dark cabinets look current when balanced with good lighting and lighter surfaces. Soft blacks, charcoals, deep greens, and inky blues are especially popular.
