What makes cabinet painting & refinishing different in Holmby Hills

Holmby Hills is part of LA's Platinum Triangle — the smallest and most exclusive of the three corners alongside Beverly Hills and Bel Air. Lots are large; homes are old; budgets and timelines reflect both. Mediterranean and English-manor estates dominate, often with original 1920s and 1930s plumbing and electrical that need full updates during any serious remodel. We approach Holmby Hills with the same precision the architecture deserves.

Hillside parcels in Holmby 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.

Most Holmby 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 Holmby Hills: Mediterranean Estate, English Manor, Spanish Colonial Revival. We design westside renovations to honor what's already there while bringing systems and finishes up to current code and current standards.

Cabinet Painting & Refinishing in Holmby 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.
