Our Process
Cabinet Refinishing With a Clear Plan From Start to Finish
OCS follows a real refinishing system so homeowners know exactly what to expect.
Consultation & Planning
We review your cabinets, finish goals, layout, timeline, and project details so expectations are clear from the beginning.
Protection & Removal
Surrounding areas are protected, and cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and hardware are carefully removed and organized.
Cleaning & Prep
Cabinet surfaces are cleaned, degreased, sanded, and prepared so the primer and finish bond properly.
Professional Priming
The right primer is applied to support adhesion, stain blocking, durability, and a smoother final coating.
Spray Booth Finishing
Doors and drawer fronts are finished off-site in a controlled spray booth for a cleaner, more consistent result.
Reinstall & Final Review
Components are reinstalled, details are checked, and the finished project is reviewed for quality.
The Premium Advantage
A Better Finish Starts in a Controlled Environment
OCS removes cabinet doors and drawer fronts and sprays them in a dedicated off-site spray booth. That gives the team more control over the environment, application, and final appearance. For homeowners, this means less mess inside the home, reduced disruption, and a smoother, more professional final product.
- Smoother, factory-like finish
- Better quality control during application
- Less dust and overspray inside the home
- Reduced odor, mess, and disruption
- A more premium finished product
Doors finished in the workshop.
Cabinet boxes stay at home.
We remove the doors and drawer fronts, finish them in a dedicated spray booth away from your home, then bring them back for reinstallation.

Materials Matter
Professional Cabinet Coatings Built for Everyday Use
Cabinets take daily wear, so the products used matter. OCS uses professional-grade coatings selected for cabinet surfaces — not basic wall paint. The goal is stronger adhesion, smoother appearance, improved durability, and a finish that can stand up to normal kitchen use.
- Designed for cabinets, not walls
- Strong adhesion and durability
- Smooth, furniture-grade appearance
- Built for everyday kitchen wear
- Better resistance to peeling, chipping, and breakdown
Cabinet Refinishing vs. Refacing
Do You Need New Cabinets — Or a Better Finish?
A lot of homeowners hear about cabinet refacing, but refinishing is often the smarter option when the existing cabinet structure is still in good condition. Same cabinets. A completely new look — without the cost and disruption of replacement or refacing.
OFTEN THE SMARTER UPGRADE
Cabinet Refinishing
Cabinet refinishing updates the look of your existing cabinets while preserving the structure you already have. When done correctly, it can deliver a premium transformation with less cost and less disruption.
- More cost-effective
- Less invasive
- Faster and cleaner process
- Preserves existing cabinetry
- Can deliver a premium updated look
A DIFFERENT APPROACH
Cabinet Refacing
Refacing may make sense in some situations, but it is often more expensive and more involved than homeowners realize. It also does not automatically mean a better finished product.
- Often more expensive
- Can be more disruptive
- May not be needed for sound cabinets
- Does not automatically create a better result
- May take longer than refinishing

FAQs
Cabinet Refinishing Questions Homeowners Ask
How long does cabinet refinishing take?
Timing depends on the size of the kitchen, cabinet condition, finish selection, and project complexity. OCS will review the scope and provide a clear timeline before work begins.
Do you remove cabinet doors and hardware?
Yes. Cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and hardware are carefully removed and organized as part of the refinishing process for better prep and a cleaner finished result.
Why is off-site spray finishing better?
Off-site spray finishing allows OCS to finish doors and drawer fronts in a controlled environment, which can help create a smoother, more consistent finish while reducing dust, overspray, odor, and disruption inside the home.
How durable is the finish?
OCS uses professional cabinet coating systems selected for adhesion, hardness, durability, and daily kitchen use. Proper cleaning, sanding, priming, and finishing all work together to support a lasting result.
Is refinishing better than refacing?
If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound, refinishing is often a smarter and more cost-effective option than refacing. It can update the look of your kitchen with less disruption while preserving the cabinets you already have.
Will there be dust or odor in my home?
Every project is different, but the OCS process is designed to reduce mess and disruption. Removing doors and drawer fronts for off-site spray finishing helps limit the amount of finishing work happening inside the home.
What products do you use?
OCS uses professional-grade products designed for cabinet surfaces, not basic wall paint. The focus is on adhesion, smooth appearance, durability, and performance in everyday kitchen environments.
Are my cabinets a good fit for refinishing?
The best way to know is to have OCS review your cabinets. If the structure is sound and the surfaces are appropriate for refinishing, this process may be a strong alternative to replacing or refacing your cabinets.
