FAQ

FAQ — Novato cabinet refinishing

My Novato home was built in the 1960s. Do I need a lead test?

+

Any home built before 1978 is subject to EPA RRP rules. We test before sanding. If lead is present, we follow full containment protocol — it's required by law and protects your family.

Can you match the color my neighbor used?

+

Yes. Bring us the paint chip or the color name and we'll match it through SW, BM, or Dunn-Edwards. We can also provide samples if you want to test on a cabinet door first.

How long will the finish last in a Novato kitchen?

+

SW Emerald Urethane and BM Advance are both designed for high-traffic surfaces. With normal cleaning — no abrasive scrubbers — you can expect many years of solid performance.

Do I need to empty the cabinets?

+

Yes, clear the contents before we arrive. We handle all the door removal and hardware labeling. You can use the cabinet boxes during the project; doors come back at the end.

What we paint in Novato kitchens

Novato housing spans a wide range of eras and styles. Lucas Valley and San Marin neighborhoods carry a lot of mid-century ranch stock — original oak and laminate cabinet boxes that are still structurally solid but dated in color and finish. Bel Marin Keys and newer custom homes closer to Hamilton Field trend toward larger kitchens with taller upper cabinets and more door profiles. Older Marin County homes sometimes carry original painted or stained wood frames that need careful prep before recoating. We work across all of it: framed and frameless boxes, flat-panel shakers, raised-panel oak, and built-in pantries.

Our cabinet refinishing process

We remove all doors and drawer fronts, label every piece so hardware goes back to the right spot, and sand or deglaze box faces in place. Doors spray off-site or in a mobile setup on your driveway — never brush-rolled in the kitchen. We use INSL-X Cabinet Coat bonding primer on slick or previously finished surfaces, then finish with SW Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel or Benjamin Moore Advance depending on your sheen preference. Older Novato homes built before 1978 get an EPA RRP lead-paint test before any sanding begins. Marin County's marine layer mornings mean we schedule spray work after midday when humidity drops.

Sheens and finishes for Novato kitchens

Novato homeowners lean toward soft whites and warm greiges — SW Accessible Beige, BM Chantilly Lace, and muted sage greens show up frequently in Lucas Valley and newer Hamilton-area builds. Satin is the workhorse sheen for kitchen boxes; semi-gloss holds up better on drawer fronts that take daily impact. If you're selling — Novato's Marin County location makes resale prep a common driver — neutral whites in a satin-to-semi-gloss finish read well in listing photos and appeal to a wide buyer pool.

What drives the cost in Novato

Door count and profile complexity are the biggest variables. Flat shaker doors spray faster than raised-panel oak with detailed coves. Box condition matters too — original laminate surfaces need more prep than raw wood. If we find lead paint during testing, we follow EPA RRP containment protocol, which adds time. Homes with large built-in pantries or laundry room cabinets add scope beyond the kitchen.

Cabinet projects we've done in Novato

We've refinished original oak kitchens in San Marin ranch homes, repainted aging white melamine cabinets in Bel Marin Keys condos, and updated builder-grade box sets in newer Hamilton Field-area homes. Bath vanity recoats in older Pomeroy-area houses are also common — same process, smaller scope.
