Preparing Your Cabinets to be Refinished with Conversion Varnish

If you are looking to refresh the look of your kitchen or bathroom cabinetry without spending tens of thousands of dollars, you should consider getting cabinet refinishing service from Cabinet Renew. We can refinish your cabinets with just about any color you want with a strong finish that is much stronger than traditional paint. When you are getting your cabinets refinished, there are things you can do to prepare your cabinets for the project.

Remove Cabinet Doors and Hardware – Take off doors, drawers, handles, knobs, and hinges, so we can work on each component properly.

Empty the Cabinets and Drawers – Remove dishes, cookware, food, and other items so the work area is clear.

Clean the Cabinets Thoroughly – Remove grease, cooking residue, dirt, wax, and other buildup. Kitchen cabinets in particular can have a surprising amount of grease that can interfere with refinishing. However, you should avoid using oily or wax-based cleaners, as these can leave behind residues that make it harder for coatings to properly adhere.

Repair Minor Damage – Point out dents, scratches, loose joints, chipped areas, or other damage that should be addressed before refinishing.

Remove Old Adhesive or Contact Paper – Any liners, stickers, labels, or adhesive residue should be removed before the refinishing process begins.

Clear the Surrounding Workspace – Move small appliances, countertop items, furniture, and other belongings away from the cabinets to give the refinisher adequate working room.

Protect Nearby Items – Even when the refinisher handles masking and protection, homeowners should remove or cover items that could be affected by dust or overspray.
