Cabinet Refinishing in Newark, DE

Often, yes. Painting is usually more affordable than replacing, and how well it holds up comes down to prep: removing doors, drawers and hardware, degreasing, sanding, priming and applying finish coats.

It depends on the number of doors and drawers and how long each coat needs to cure before the next one. Most kitchens take several days from takedown to reinstall, and you'll get a timeline with your estimate.
