Lauren H. says, "I reached out to Tom with a project idea for a cabinet and bench in my tiny kitchen. Tom was incredibly responsive. He was the only carpenter amongst several I had reached out to who scheduled to come out to my home to see my space and take measurements. He was super personable and easy to talk with, and made some great suggestions (making the shelves in the cabinet adjustable) He scheduled the project right away and it was completed in a day. He ensured to cover our floors and the space was cleaned up at the end of the build. Craftsmanship was wonderful. Project was left unpainted per my request. I can say without doubt that I will be reaching out to Tom for any future carpentry projects!"See more

Aarzu M. says, "I initially hired Jose to remove the hand railing from my staircase which I urgently needed in order to move the following day. Since then, I have hired Jose to reinstall the same handrailing, run electrical to where my microwave should be, source and install a cabinet, install my microwave, install a new front door, and run new electrical + install a fan outdoors. Jose and his team are great because: - They are on time and work quickly. Jose knows the number of people he will need for each job and their specialties. Additionally, his team is kind and responsive. I asked his team to make sure they closed the basement door when they go down because I was worried about the cats, and I never had to ask them again - they insured that every single time they went down, the door was closed (same was true with the storm door). - They left my house better than they found it each day - they covered all furniture that might get stuff on it and made sure to vacuum, remove any tarps, etc when they left for the day. This is really important to me as I don't like to feel like I'm living in a construction zone even when his team is coming back the next day. - Jose is very good at talking you through options. When something unexpected comes up (and it will), he tells you about the problem and then walks you through your options. He is honest about solutions and costs. It's really invaluable to have someone that will tell you "you have a few options, x will be more expensive but you won't have to think about it again. y will be pretty cheap but it will be an issue for you in about 10 years" and then lets you make a thoughtful decision. Also, Jose has been good at telling me when he thinks a project isn't worth the cost to me and suggesting alternatives. - Perhaps a culmination of the above feedback and most important to me, they pay attention to the details. For example, today, they added additional screws to stabilize the beams for my porch fan and went through the additional effort to add drywall and paint over each and every screw to make sure it wasn't visible. When adding a new outlet, they made sure it was perfectly in line with the other ones on the opposing walls. His team understands that their work is functional AND aesthetic. I'm a bit hesitant to leave this review because I don't want Jose to get so busy that he can no longer do jobs for me. But, it'd be a disservice if I let his work go unrecommended."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How do you refinish kitchen cabinets?

If you’re ready for a new look and feel in your kitchen but don’t want to replace the cabinet layout or your cabinet doors, refinishing your existing kitchen cabinets is a great option. To be a good candidate for cabinet refinishing, your cabinet boxes and doors need to be in good condition. Cabinet refinishing includes taking down your doors, sanding or stripping the surface, preparing the doors with primer as needed, refinishing them with as many coats of stain or paint are necessary, then re-hanging them in their original locations. If you’re not in love with your kitchen cabinet layout, talk to a designer or contractor about creating an alternative. Refinishing simply means adding new shine to the existing setup, so if you’re dying to have a pull-out pantry or maximize wall space by going flush to the ceiling, you may want a different approach. Functional and stylish ready-to-assemble (RTA) cabinets can be similar in cost to refacing your existing cabinets, so keep the budget-friendly RTA option in mind when making decisions.

How much does it cost to refinish kitchen cabinets?

Cabinet refinishing revives dull or dinged-up doors and drawers. The cost of cabinet refinishing will vary based on factors such as the number of linear feet of cabinetry you have, the amount of nicks and scratches that need repair, the level of detail on your cabinets, and more. The pros typically will remove the cabinet doors and then sand or strip them down to create a beautifully smooth new surface. After prepping the surface with primer as needed, the pros may then repaint or stain the doors to give them a new lease on life. Cabinets with intricate detail or extensive surface damage will likely cost more to refinish, as they will take more time and effort. Keep in mind that you should only elect to do cabinet refinishing if the cabinet boxes are structurally sound and you plan to keep your current kitchen layout for a number of years. The investment will be wasted if the cabinet boxes are in disrepair and will need replacement soon, or if you’re planning a remodel in two years. The national average price range for cabinet refinishing is between $1,500 and $6,000.

Can you resurface laminate cabinets?

Resurfacing laminate cabinets is an affordable and relatively easy way to give an outdated kitchen a fresh new look. If your existing cabinets are in good shape and you like your current cabinet layout, putting a fresh face on your kitchen could mean simply painting over the current laminate or putting a new laminate surface on the doors and drawers. Cabinet resurfacing may be possible for the capable DIY homeowner, but if you don’t have the proper tools or the know-how, it’s wise to call a handyman or a cabinet installation specialist to ensure you have a professional-looking outcome. To make sure your kitchen is right for cabinet resurfacing (as opposed to completely replacing your cabinets), ask yourself:

  • Do I like the layout of my current cabinets?
  • Are the cabinet boxes structurally sound?
  • Are the floor and framing in good condition to keep cabinets supported over time?
  • Are the cabinets free of water or wood damage?

How do you resurface cabinets?

Resurfacing kitchen cabinets means that you retain your original cabinet boxes and existing cabinet layout and simply remove and replace the front layer of your cabinet doors. Cabinet resurfacing can also entail replacing damaged cabinet doors, keeping those that are in good shape, and installing a new surface on all of them. Cabinet resurfacing may also refer to a decision to completely change out cabinet doors because they are damaged or their style is out of date, but keeping the existing cabinet boxes and layout.

If you’re handy and have all the proper tools, cabinet resurfacing can be a DIY project, especially if you’re simply repainting. However, if you’re not comfortable removing and replacing your cabinet doors, doing precision measurements and cutting, or working with sanders and power tools, then this may be a project better left to the pros. You or your handyman or cabinet installation specialist will remove all cabinet door and drawer fronts and all hardware, then prepare the surfaces for a new layer. The pros should also update the veneer or laminate the frames to match. Once the new laminate, veneer or surface has been applied and new hardware installed, your cabinet doors and drawers are hung once more in their original locations. The national average cost for refacing cabinets is $5,000.
