Having your cabinets refinished is a good way to spruce up your home, but deciding which company to choose is not always easy. With so many cabinet refinishers out there, some homeowners end up hiring the wrong one. Hiring the wrong cabinet refinisher can be costly to your home and wallet. This blog will explain what homeowners need to be aware of when hiring cabinet refinishers.
1. House Painters Are Not Cabinet Refinishers
Many house painters now offer cabinet refinishing services. The problem with this is years of being a house painter does not count as years of painting and refinishing cabinets. Some homeowners assume that if a company is good at house painting, they will be good at cabinet work, too. This is a mistake because often times, house painters are not qualified to be cabinet refinishers. House painters typically use paint that comes off easily on cabinets. When it comes to cabinet refinishing, it is best to choose a company that solely specializes in refinishing cabinet services.
2. Know What Is Being Applied To Your Cabinets
Knowing what a refinisher plans to use on your cabinets is important. Even if you are not a cabinet expert, a quick Google search can be helpful. Some paints can be explosive and are illegal so it is important that you pick a refinisher that knows what they are doing. Issues caused by cabinet paint are not typically covered by insurance so make sure to double check what someone plans to apply to your cabinet.
3. Online Reviews Can Be Deceitful
Online reviews can be insightful but they are not always what they appear to be. Businesses can easily buy online reviews or have someone write a disingenuous review to make the company look good. Read online reviews carefully and put stock in reviews that go into great detail. Reviews that go into great detail and can explain what happened are most likely authentic. Reviews that do not offer much detail and sound generic could be red flags.
