Price

What drives the cost of cabinet refinishing in Inkster

  • Refresh and recoat versus full strip and restain
  • Number of doors, drawers, boxes and panels
  • Wood species and how evenly it takes stain
  • Water damage, veneer repairs or missing parts
  • Type of topcoat chosen
  • Changing from a dark stain to a lighter one
  • Lead-safe stripping of previously painted cabinets
  • The age of the home: the typical Inkster home was built around 1957, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Inkster

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Inkster was built around 1957. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

60% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Inkster building department before work starts.

Compare quotes

How to compare cabinet refinishing quotes

  • Ask for a sample door or test area before approving the full job.
  • Compare quotes that describe the same method: recoat, restain or full strip.
  • Ask which topcoat they use and how long it must cure before normal use.
  • If cabinets were ever painted in a pre-1978 home, confirm EPA firm certification.
  • Ask for proof of insurance and photos of recent refinishing work.

Cabinet Refinishing in Inkster: FAQ

Refinishing restores or changes the finish on your existing doors and boxes. Refacing replaces doors and drawer fronts and covers the boxes with new veneer, which is carpentry work.
Sometimes, but it usually needs full stripping and may still show old stain in the grain. Many owners choose paint for a big change toward light.
A simple recoat can take a few days. A full strip and restain usually takes one to two weeks with cure time.
