Notably, more fine coats of finish are applied on your cabinets than is the ordinary trade practice.

Our focus is in putting our reputation to a great quality finish on your cabinets.
Great quality is in the details.

2) FINISHING PROCESS
We remove the cabinet doors and drawers and take them to our shop to do the work on them first. Then we do the cabinet boxes ( part mounted on the walls) in the home.
You will have use of your kitchen and cabinets while we complete the doors and drawers for a few days. When we return to your home with the doors and drawers finished, we complete the finishing of the cabinet boxes "in-place". other cabinet refinishing details
HERE IS A BRIEF SUMMARY OF WORK AT THE HOME:
We start, by covering the kitchen area entrance-ways with a plastic-film. Alternatively, in larger rooms, the cabinet area is partitioned-off with a plastic-film "wall".
The sealed-off area, is then fully vented by a suction duct through a window. You have NO residues left through your home. The special finishes, quick-dry in minutes, so that the smell is negligible and expelled. That is how refinish work has been done in homes through every season in any environment for many years.
After setting-up the venting as described, masking (taping-around) and covering the walls adjacent the cabinets follows. Then the floor, the countertop and the appliances are covered and taped around. After this covering comes the refinish work, performed according to your order details. Beginning by using a combination of products to remove soiling, contaminants, or the old finish if specified and continuing with extensive preparations of the cabinet surfaces to assure good adhesion of the new finish. Surface corrections, or other repairs or changes are made as directed by your order proceeding to the application of any color, or stain-change.
When you select staining, the final steps include the spray application of several coats of a special, durable, clear sealer and finish, designed to resist water, steam, detergents, food stains and wear. This makes an easy-care, wipe-off surface. If you order solid painted cabinets, multiple fine coats of primer and topcoats in your color selection are sprayed-on.
The last, clear-coats are spray-finished in the gloss level you prefer: either satin sheen, or more, or less gloss. Finishes are never brushed-on or wiped-on as these methods cause brush-marks or inconsistency. Spray application gives your cabinets an even, smooth surface.
All of our work is of signature quality, performed with the extra-care standard.

Louis J. Criscella (LOU) finisher, owner
