The Fastest Way to Change How a Kitchen Feels
A full kitchen remodel in Forsyth County runs into five figures and takes weeks of your life. Cabinet refinishing reaches most of the same visual result in a fraction of the time, because what you notice walking into a kitchen is the color and finish of the cabinetry, not the boxes behind the doors.
If your cabinet boxes are solid and the layout works for how you cook, refinishing is usually the better investment. The difference between a finish that peels within a year and one that still looks sharp after everyday use comes down to degreasing, sanding, priming, and the right cabinet-grade topcoat.
No demolition, no new plumbing, and no weeks without a usable kitchen.

What Cabinet Refinishing With Hayes Actually Involves
Cabinet work sits closer to fine finishing than to wall painting. The preparation is most of the job, and it is where a lasting result is won or lost.
Degreasing & Cleaning
Kitchen cabinets carry years of cooking residue. Every surface is cleaned before a single coat goes on, because paint will not bond to grease.
Sanding & Prep
Doors and drawer fronts are labeled, removed, and sanded so the new finish has something to grip instead of sitting on top of an old sheen.
Bonding Primer
A primer made for slick, previously finished surfaces. This is the layer that keeps color from chipping at the edges your hands find every day.
Durable Finish Coats
Cabinet-grade enamel laid down for a smooth, hard surface that stands up to hands, water, and regular cleaning.
A Cabinet Project Should Not Take Over Your House
Refinishing cabinetry means working in the busiest room in the home, so containment and sequencing matter more here than almost anywhere else. Hayes masks the surrounding kitchen, sets up a controlled area for spraying doors and drawer fronts, and works so you keep access to your sink and appliances through most of the project.
You get a walkthrough before anything starts, a clear decision on color and sheen while there is still time to change it, and a final review at the end where anything that is not right gets corrected before we call it finished.
Plastic, masking, and dust control so the rest of the home stays livable.
Every door and drawer goes back exactly where it came from, with hardware kept together.
Cabinet Painting Makes Sense If You Are Ready To
Refinishing is the right call for most homeowners whose cabinetry is structurally sound but visually dated. If the boxes are failing or the layout genuinely does not work, replacement is the honest answer and we will tell you so.

Cabinet Refinishing Across Cumming, Forsyth County, and North Atlanta
Hayes works out of Cumming, Georgia, and most cabinet projects are a short drive from Lake Lanier.
Our shop is at 2901 Lanier Beach South Rd in Cumming, and we refinish cabinetry throughout Forsyth County and the surrounding communities in Fulton, Hall, Cherokee, Gwinnett, Dawson, and Cobb counties. Kitchens in the newer neighborhoods off Highway 20 and Peachtree Parkway tend to be builder-grade stain-grade maple that takes a painted finish beautifully. Older homes closer to downtown Cumming and around the lake are more often oak, which needs a grain-filling step to reach a smooth modern look. Both are routine work for our crew.

Cabinet Painting Questions Homeowners Ask Us
If your question is not here, call (770) 871-6383 and ask. We would rather answer it before the estimate than after.
How much does cabinet painting cost in Cumming, GA?
Cabinet refinishing is priced by the number of doors, drawer fronts, and boxes rather than by square footage, so a small bathroom vanity and a large kitchen are very different projects. It is almost always a fraction of the cost of replacing cabinetry. Call Hayes at (770) 871-6383 and we will walk your kitchen and give you a written number.
How long does a kitchen cabinet project take?
Most kitchens take several days from prep through final coats, depending on the number of doors and the drying time the finish needs. Hayes sequences the work so you keep access to your sink and appliances through most of the project.
Can you paint oak cabinets so the grain does not show?
Yes. Open-grain woods like oak need a grain-filling step before primer if you want a smooth, modern look. That is an extra stage, and it is worth discussing at the estimate so the finish matches what you are picturing.
Do the cabinet doors get sprayed or brushed?
Doors and drawer fronts come off, get labeled, and are sprayed in a controlled area for a smooth, factory-like surface. The boxes and face frames are finished in place with the surrounding kitchen masked off.
Will the new finish chip around the handles?
Not if the prep is done properly. Kitchen cabinets carry cooking residue that paint will not bond to, so degreasing, sanding, and a bonding primer built for slick surfaces are what keep the edges you touch every day from wearing through.
Do you refinish bathroom vanities and built-ins too?
Yes. Vanities, bookcases, mudroom lockers, mantels, and built-in shelving all get the same process. They are often the fastest way to make a room feel updated.
