• How much does a typical cabinet staining project cost?

    The cost of a cabinet staining project depends on several factors, including the size of the kitchen, wood type, level of prep work, and finish options. However, here’s a general pricing estimate:


        Small Kitchens (10–15 cabinets) → $1,500–$3,000

        Medium Kitchens (20–30 cabinets) → $3,000–$5,000

        Large Kitchens (35+ cabinets) → $5,000+


    Factors That Affect Cost:


    ✅ Cabinet Condition – If extensive sanding or repairs are needed, costs may increase.

    ✅ Stain Type & Finish – High-end stains, glazes, or clear coats add to the price.

    ✅ Custom Details – Distressing, shading, or specialty techniques require extra labor.

    ✅ Hardware Removal & Reinstallation – If new handles or hinges are installed, this adds to the overall cost.

  • How long does the cabinet staining process take?

    The timeline depends on the size of your kitchen and the condition of the cabinets, but typically, it takes 3–5 days from prep to final coat and drying.

  • Do I need to empty my cabinets before staining?

    Yes, it's best to remove all items from your cabinets and drawers to prevent dust contamination and ensure an efficient workflow.

  • What kind of preparation do you do before starting a paint job?

        Remove Doors & Hardware – We carefully remove cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware to allow for even staining and prevent drips or missed spots.

        Clean & Degrease – Cabinets are thoroughly cleaned with a degreaser to remove built-up oils, grease, and dirt that can interfere with stain absorption.

        Sanding & Surface Prep – We sand all surfaces to remove the old finish, smooth imperfections, and open the wood grain for better stain penetration.

        Wood Conditioning (if needed) – For certain woods, we apply a conditioner to ensure an even stain application without blotching.

        Masking & Protecting Surrounding Areas – We tape off and cover countertops, floors, and nearby surfaces to prevent stain or sealer overspray.

        Test Staining (Optional) – If needed, we apply a test stain on a small area to confirm color selection before proceeding.


    This preparation ensures a smooth, rich stain finish that enhances the beauty and longevity of your cabinets.

  • How durable is the stained finish?

    Our staining process includes a high-quality sealer that protects against moisture, grease, and daily wear. With proper care, the finish can last for many years.

  • How do I maintain my stained cabinets?

    Use a mild soap and water solution or a wood-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive moisture to keep the finish looking great.
