Our process
A kitchen project should be easy to picture before it begins. Uznara works on existing cabinets, with a sample to hold, a written scope and a plan for meals while we work.
We agree on a time, check the boxes and existing finish, count the fronts and discuss the hardware. Painting and refacing are priced separately so you can compare.
One painted sample board is included. Look at it next to the counter in morning and evening light. Additional color samples are $35 each. We wait for your written color approval before ordering or finishing the job.
Painting usually spans 7–10 business days from removal to reinstallation. New fronts for refacing usually need 4–6 weeks after approval before the on-site work begins. We confirm the actual dates in your scope.
Doors and drawer fronts are finished at the shop. We paint the fixed frames at home, then return to hang, adjust and fit the hardware. We walk through the result with you.
During the work
Plan for 3–5 workdays without normal kitchen use while we prepare and paint fixed frames, for either option. Empty cabinets and counters beforehand. Keep pets out of the work area and set up meals in another room.
We agree on refrigerator access before masking. The sink and cooking area are unavailable during the on-site work; do not plan to cook around it. We confirm when the room can be used again.
After reinstallation
A finish can feel dry before it reaches its full hardness. Plan on gentle use for about 30 days after the final coat; your written care sheet gives the timing for the finish used.
Close doors gently. Avoid scrubbing, tape and hanging towels over fresh edges. Follow the cleaning instructions we leave. We explain the first-use date before we pack up.
We label each front, keep its fittings together and protect counters and adjacent floors. Our scope covers cabinet finishes and fronts, not moving plumbing, changing counters or rebuilding the kitchen. If our workmanship needs another look, we’ll check it with you.
