Cabinet & Furniture Refinishing Service
Restore Beauty. Preserve Character. Elevate Your Home.
Your cabinets and furniture deserve more than a quick coat of paint — they deserve craftsmanship that brings out their best. With over 40 years of hands‑on experience, Northshore Finishing specializes in refinishing that enhances the natural character of wood while delivering a clean, modern, long‑lasting finish
A Beautiful Transformation Without Replacing Your Cabinets
Refinishing restores the beauty of your existing cabinets by cleaning, repairing, sanding, and applying a fresh, professional‑grade finish. Instead of replacing doors or installing new materials, refinishing enhances what you already have — giving your kitchen a renewed look at a fraction of the cost of a remodel.
Refinishing Includes:
- Deep cleaning and degreasing of all cabinet surfaces
- Sanding to smooth imperfections and open the wood grain
- Professional‑grade primer application
- Spray‑applied finish coats for a smooth, durable result
- Optional hardware updates for a refreshed look
Refinishing is ideal when your cabinets are structurally sound but the finish is worn, outdated, or no longer matches your style.
What Is Cabinet Refinishing?
Our Refinishing Process
Give your kitchen or bathroom a dramatic transformation without the cost or disruption of a full remodel.
01 Preparation & Protection
We begin by masking off all surrounding areas and protecting floors, countertops, and appliances. Our goal is to keep your kitchen functional and undisturbed during the project.
02 Cleaning & Degreasing
Cabinet surfaces are thoroughly cleaned to remove oils, residues, and buildup. This ensures proper adhesion and a flawless finish
03 Sanding & Repairs
We sand every surface to smooth imperfections and open the wood grain. Minor repairs are made as needed to ensure a consistent, professional result.
04 Priming & Coating
Using professional-grade equipment, we apply primer and finish coats with precision. Whether you choose a classic white, a rich stain, or a custom color, the result is built to last.
05 Final Inspection & Reassembly
Cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware are reinstalled with care. We inspect every detail to ensure the finish meets our standards — and yours
