What makes cabinet painting & refinishing different in West Hollywood
West Hollywood runs its own building and safety department separate from LADBS. The Norma Triangle, Doheny, and Sweetzer Avenue blocks are dominated by 1920s and 1930s Spanish Revival and Tudor cottages with the construction realities that come with century-old infrastructure. Above Sunset, Bird Streets and the lower Hollywood Hills bring contemporary builds and view-driven hillside projects. The City of West Hollywood permit timeline runs separately from LADBS — closer to 6–10 weeks for a standard remodel.
Most West Hollywood 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.
West Hollywood runs its own permitting through City of West Hollywood. 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 West Hollywood: Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor Cottage, Contemporary. We design central la renovations to honor what's already there while bringing systems and finishes up to current code and current standards.

Cabinet Painting & Refinishing in West Hollywood — 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.
