What makes cabinet painting & refinishing different in Cheviot Hills

Cheviot Hills sits south of Pico between Beverly Hills and Culver City — old-growth-tree blocks of 1920s and 1930s Spanish Revival, English cottage, and Mediterranean homes. Most homes have original infrastructure that meets the era's code, not today's. Kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home remodels here typically open walls to entirely new electrical service, repipes, and HVAC that didn't exist when the home was built.

Most Cheviot Hills homes were built before 1980. That means galvanized supply lines, undersized electrical panels, original gas runs, and rough-in plumbing that hasn't been touched in decades. Once walls open during a cabinet painting & refinishing project, we expect to bring the underlying systems to current code — not as a surprise, as a plan.

Common architecture in Cheviot Hills: Spanish Colonial Revival, English Cottage, Mediterranean. We design westside renovations to honor what's already there while bringing systems and finishes up to current code and current standards.

Most kitchen cabinet refinishing projects take 5–7 days. Larger homes with extensive built-ins and vanities may take 7–10 days. Your kitchen will be functional throughout most of the process.

Lacquer is a beautiful, fast-curing finish that works well for most applications. Conversion varnish is harder and more chemical-resistant — we recommend it for high-use kitchen cabinets that need to stand up to daily cooking, cleaning products, and moisture.

Professional cabinet refinishing typically costs 30–50% less than new custom cabinetry, with a fraction of the timeline. A full kitchen refinish at $8,000–$15,000 compares to $25,000–$60,000+ for new custom cabinets installed.

Yes. Our lacquer and conversion varnish finishes are commercial-grade and designed for daily use. With proper care, a professional spray finish will last 10–15+ years before needing a refresh.
