What makes cabinet painting & refinishing different in Westwood
Westwood's residential streets sit south of UCLA and east of the 405. The Westwood Hills and Holmby Westwood blocks carry pre-war estates with original lath-and-plaster, single-pane windows, and undersized electrical service. Closer to the Village, post-war traditionals and a few mid-century moderns dominate. Most kitchens and bathrooms in Westwood need full MEP rework when remodeled — code-compliance is the floor, not the ceiling.
Most Westwood 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 Westwood: Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor, Traditional. 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 Westwood — Frequently Asked Questions
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.
