What makes cabinet painting & refinishing different in Hollywood Hills

Hollywood Hills covers the canyons north of Sunset — Laurel, Coldwater, Beachwood, and Outpost Estates. Hillside ordinance applies to almost every parcel. The housing mix is heavily mid-century moderns and contemporary view-driven builds, with plenty of 1950s and 1960s post-and-beam homes. Caissons, retaining walls, fire-zone defensible space, and hillside drainage shape every project.

Hillside parcels in Hollywood Hills carry their own engineering load. Drainage, retaining-wall design, caissons where pools or major additions are part of the scope, and fire-zone defensible-space requirements all shape how a cabinet painting & refinishing project gets sequenced. We coordinate hillside engineering at the design phase, not at construction.

Hollywood Hills runs its own permitting through LADBS (with hillside ordinance). Plan-check timelines run on a separate clock from LADBS. We've worked through the local department often enough to know what their reviewers flag and what they wave through, so we submit the right drawing set the first time.

Common architecture in Hollywood Hills: Mid-Century Modern, Contemporary, Modern. We design hillside renovations to honor what's already there while bringing systems and finishes up to current code and current standards.

Cabinet Painting & Refinishing in Hollywood Hills — Frequently Asked Questions

Most kitchens run 5 to 7 days. The doors come off and go to our shop for prep and spray. The boxes stay in place and get masked, primed, and sprayed in your kitchen. You'll lose the kitchen for the first day or two while we tape off and pull the doors. After that you can use it, you just won't have doors for about a week.

Conversion varnish for kitchens. It's harder, more chemical-resistant, and shrugs off the daily abuse from cleaning sprays, grease, and kids slamming doors. Lacquer is fine for bathrooms, built-ins, closets, anything that's not getting hit every day. Cost difference is small.

A standard kitchen runs $8K to $15K to refinish. New custom cabinets for the same kitchen run $25K to $60K+. So you're saving 50 to 70% and three months on the timeline. The catch: your boxes have to be solid. If they're particle board and falling apart, refinishing won't save them.

Yes if it's sprayed properly. Our finishes go on with HVLP guns, not brushes and rollers. Conversion varnish cures hard and resists chemicals. With normal use you should get 10 to 15 years before it needs a refresh. If we brushed and rolled it like a typical paint crew, you'd be lucky to get two.

Yes. Any Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, or Farrow & Ball color. We can also custom-match an existing cabinet finish if you want to blend new work with existing cabinetry in another room.
