Cabinet Refinishing in San Diego, CA:
Refinishing your kitchen cabinets is the most affordable option. It should be the first choice for any kitchen renovation plan. Not many people are aware of how cabinet refinishing is carried out today. Thus, many homeowners remove and throw away cabinets that could have easily been updated through affordable & durable refinishing. Cabinet refinishing technology has improved significantly over recent years.
Previously, refinishing cabinets necessitated a huge amount of labor. The process involved removing, sanding, and then reinstalling the serviced cabinets. This invariably resulted in a tremendous mess and a lot of time. Hence, cabinet refinishing was not the most appealing choice.
Now, cabinet refinishing is the most convenient and affordable option, without sacrificing quality. The complete process takes place in your home and does not require the removal of your cabinets. Refinishing can be completed within a few days and is much less expensive than cabinet replacement or refacing.
Don’t Replace.
Cabinet replacement is a large-scale kitchen renovation that carries the largest price tag between refinishing, refacing & replacing. For this process, your existing cabinets will be removed and replaced with brand new cabinets.
You can make significant changes to your kitchen layout and adjust the number of cabinets you have. Replacing your cabinets offers you new possibilities, but it is not a cheap option.
According to current market trends, the price of a standard full kitchen renovation costs around $50,000. Of course, various factors will affect that price.
Don’t Reface.
Refacing your cabinets involves completely replacing the existing cabinet doors, fixtures and visible surfaces with a new face or veneer. Some cabinet refacing projects can take as long as five days, and that’s not even including the week or more it can take to order the doors and veneers. This works well for homeowners who want a new shape for their cabinet doors and drawers but don’t have plans to change the existing kitchen cabinet layout.
If you plan to reface your cabinets, you can expect to pay somewhere between $10,000 and $15,000. The final cost will ultimately depend on the size of your kitchen and the various options you choose.

As the name suggests, cabinet refinishing entails restoring the original finish of your existing cabinets. Cabinet refinishing begins with a complete cleansing and degreasing of your cabinets’ wooden surfaces. Repairs to any damaged areas then follow. At this point, you can choose to either restore the original finish of your cabinets or refinish them in a different color.
Our process is typically 1/3 the cost of cabinet refacing and 1/5 the cost of replacing your cabinets.

Step 4: Add Protective Finish

Read what our customers are saying about their experience with N-Hance:
“35 years of working with contractors, this group was by far the most cooperative and professional that I have worked with. They were on time when scheduled, which is rare. They finished all of the wood within the project timeline and just did an excellent job. I highly recommend N-Hance when it comes to wood refinishing.” “I can’t thank you enough for the beautiful job that you did at my home. The vanity that you brought back to life looks so good you would never guess that it wasn’t a brand new installation. The cost to refurbish the vanity through N-Hance was a small fraction of the cost it would have been to replace the damaged piece. Also, your customer service was both professional and reliable. I won’t hesitate to use your company again when your services are needed.” “Thanks to N-Hance our ’80’s oak’ cabinets have a modern ‘cherry’ look, and we love it. It’s the same cabinets, but they look new…The best part was the N-Hance staff attitude. Both we and our home were treated with respect and consideration. We definitely would recommend you to our friends, neighbors or anyone interested.” “I had the kitchen cabinets refinished and they did an outstanding job. The end result appears better than the original finish. Best part is that these folks are professional in every aspect. They are punctual, friendly, courteous, and helpful. Very well run company. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
