If your kitchen cabinets are solid but the finish is worn, faded, scratched or just dated, cabinet refinishing brings the wood back to life — without the cost and mess of replacing them. Terra Renovations LLC strips, sands, stains and seals your existing cabinets for a like-new finish, serving Dallas–Fort Worth and surrounding areas.
What Cabinet Refinishing Includes
- Doors and drawer fronts removed and labeled
- Old finish stripped and surfaces sanded smooth
- Stain applied in your chosen tone (keep the natural wood look or shift the color)
- Durable clear-coat sealing for a hard, kitchen-ready finish
- Doors reinstalled and aligned, hardware reattached or replaced
How It Works
- Free quote: we look at your cabinets and confirm they’re good candidates for refinishing.
- Removal: doors and drawer fronts come off and are labeled so everything goes back in place.
- Strip and sand: the old finish comes off and the wood is prepped smooth.
- Stain: your new tone goes on evenly across every piece.
- Seal: clear protective coats give the finish its durability and sheen.
- Reinstall: doors go back on, aligned and adjusted.
Refinishing vs. Painting vs. Replacing
Refinishing is the right call when you like your cabinet layout and wood but not the worn finish — it keeps the natural grain visible. If you’d rather have a solid color, see our cabinet painting service. And if the layout itself has to change, that’s a kitchen remodel — we can talk through both options on a free quote visit.
Why Refinish Instead of Replace?
- A fraction of the cost of new cabinets
- Days instead of weeks — most kitchens are back in service fast
- Far less mess and disruption in your home
- Keeps a layout that already works for you
Cabinet Refinishing FAQs
How much does cabinet refinishing cost?
It depends on the number of doors and drawers, the condition of the current finish, and the stain and sheen you choose. Every quote is free and itemized, so you know the exact price before we start.
How long does it take?
Most kitchens take about 3–5 days from removal to reinstallation.
Can I change the color of my cabinets?
Yes — refinishing can take the tone lighter or darker within the limits of your wood species. If you want a completely different look in a solid color, cabinet painting may be the better fit.
Do I need to empty my cabinets?
Only the drawers need to be emptied; the cabinet boxes stay in place and are finished in position.
How durable is the new finish?
We seal with durable clear coats made to stand up to daily kitchen use, moisture and cleaning.
