FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Clarity & Confidence for Your Home Refinement
Every kitchen cabinet refinishing, architectural millwork update, and interior transformation is carried out with meticulous dust containment and flawless factory-grade spray finishes.
Have a Specific Project Question?
Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question. Our project specialists provide complimentary on-site consultations across Southern California.
How long does a kitchen cabinet refinishing project typically take?
Most residential cabinet refinishing projects are completed within 5 to 7 working days. Doors and drawer fronts are carefully removed and taken to our controlled spray facility for multi-coat lacquer application, while your home's face frames and cabinet boxes are prepped, primed, and sprayed with comprehensive dust barrier protection.
What is the difference between painting cabinets and refinishing them?
Traditional brush-and-roll painting often leaves visible brush marks and chips easily. Our refinishing process uses industrial-grade conversion coatings, pre-catalyzed lacquers, and HVLP fine spray systems that bond chemically with the wood, producing a smooth, ultra-durable factory finish that resists moisture, grease, and daily kitchen wear.
Will there be paint fumes or dust throughout my home during the process?
No. We implement commercial-grade containment enclosures with negative air scrubbers and heavy-duty plastic masking over flooring, countertops, appliances, and adjacent living areas. Because cabinet doors and drawers are finished off-site in our spray booth, disruption and odor in your living space are kept to a strict minimum.
Can you fill existing grain or change our cabinet hardware holes?
Yes. For heavy oak or porous woods, we offer professional grain-filling options to achieve an ultra-smooth contemporary look. We also fill old handle holes and re-drill for modern pulls, soft-close hinges, or completely refreshed hardware styles before applying finish coats.
Are you fully licensed, bonded, and insured in California?
Yes. RDS Painting is fully licensed, bonded, and insured under California State Contractor License #1055979. We carry comprehensive general liability and worker's compensation insurance to protect you and your home at every stage of the project.
What payment or financing options do you provide?
We accept major credit cards, bank transfers, and checks. Additionally, we provide flexible monthly payment and financing options that you can easily review during your complimentary in-home or virtual estimate.
