Cabinet staining that keeps the grain visible
Not every kitchen should be painted. If you have real wood cabinets with grain worth keeping, staining changes the tone without burying what makes them wood. It is a slower, fussier process than painting and it shows every shortcut, which is why fewer shops offer it.
§ 01 — WHAT IS INCLUDED
EVERY JOB COVERS THIS.
- Existing finish stripped or sanded back properly, not stained over
- Tone matched across doors so the kitchen reads as one piece
- Clear protective topcoat over the stain
- Honest assessment of whether your wood will take stain evenly
§ 02 — HOW IT WORKS
THE PROCESS.
- STEP 01
Assessment
We look at the species and the current finish. Some woods blotch, and you deserve to know that before we start.
- STEP 02
Strip and sand
The old finish comes off. Staining over a sealed surface is why so many stain jobs look muddy.
- STEP 03
Stain
Applied and wiped by hand, door by door, checking tone as we go.
- STEP 04
Topcoat
A clear protective coat so the stain survives daily use.
§ 03 — WHAT HOMEOWNERS SAY

§ 04 — STRAIGHT ANSWERS
CABINET STAINING FAQS.
Can you stain cabinets darker without stripping?
Sometimes a gel stain can go over an existing finish for a darker tone. It is not right for every kitchen and we will say so if yours is not a fit.
Can painted cabinets be stained back to wood?
Occasionally, but it is labor heavy and the result depends entirely on what is under the paint. We will look before quoting.
