Reface vs Refinishing
Cramer’s Installations Unlimited (CIU) does not refinish your existing cabinets, instead we Reface to give you that Full Kitchen Remodel or Updated Look without the labor intensive mess and smells typical of a refinish! Refacing gives you the opportunity to choose your wood grain, new door & style, color, and add or remove cabinets. When we are finished, you will have the look of a Brand New Kitchen. If you’re adding cabinets, CIU builds your addition to meet your specifications for that perfect fit. All staining to the color in which you choose and finishing is done at the CIU shop and brought to your home ready to install. You can add pullouts, specialty hardware, drawers, guides and a variety of other features including handles.
We glue & pin ¼” wood panels and facing to your existing cabinets after they are stained and lacquered, trim and crown moldings are added to complete the look. Another plus is you do not have to unload your cabinets while we do the Reface install. Depending on the size of the kitchen, the install days can vary, but we are typically done within 3 days.
CIU works closely with companies who supply and install custom counter tops such as granite, quartz, tile and other solid surfaces. For a more economically priced counter top, CIU can supply and install a laminate fully formed counter top. Click to see color samples of laminate by Formica & Wilson Art.
CIU does all their own finishing (staining & lacquering) in-house with top quality products. CIU strives to gain that perfect color for that finished look. While using natural woods, grains can vary from lights to darks, and can add character to your finished product. CIU has no control over natural characteristics of wood imperfections such as grain, however we try to pick the best quality material to offer you the highest quality and finished look.
CIU recommends proper cleaning and care for the longevity of your cabinets. It is important to maintain and condition wood products. CIU recommends Old English products. The Old English Dusting Spray is great for everyday cleaning and the Lemon Oil conditions the wood. It’s best to condition the wood every three (3) months. Do Not Clean with water or solutions that break away the lacquer finish. Do Not Use abrasive surfaces when cleaning your wood surfaces, use only soft and dry cloths. If water falls onto the wood, it is imperative to wipe dry immediately as water will destroy the lacquer finish over time. Take extra caution near sinks and upper cabinets where coffee makers produce steam.
