Made an appointment weeks ago to get an estimate to reface my cabinets. During the initial call, I was told they were booked out until October, which was fine. Took time away from work for the estimate visit just so that I could get an email saying that “my project would not be a good fit for them at this time”. I will happily go elsewhere.

The whole process was well managed from the original quote to the final touch up. David is detail oriented, punctual and skilled. Any concerns or issues I had were immediately addressed. I am a General Contractor and consummate Virgo so am hard to please. The final result, as you might be able to tell from the pictures, is nothing short of stunning.

We chose this company based on Angie List reviews and services offered. The cabinet finish restoration went well. However, the project was mostly assigned to employees who had limited skills compared to Dave and Claire, particularly in the installation of revolving shelves chosen by Refinish First. The costly unit selected by Refinish First failed after 2 years and after weeks of communication and investigation the manufacturer determined it was incorrectly installed. It stood behind the product however and shipped a new unit. Refinish First was too busy to follow up and discontinued contact. Perhaps two years is too long to expect a business to stand behind its work.

I am sorry you felt it necessary to write a bad review about what you were happy to have completed two years ago. Did it require you to insult our employees now? When you asked us to come by and see if we could repair the unit you were not available. We tried on 4 seperate occassions to come by and see what we could do to fix the unit that was not working properly. Everytime you were not avaiable.

I'm not sure who Refinish First LLC are but if it is the same as Josh at Superior Refinishing Northwest than he did a great job and I would definitely hire him again with other projects. The price was more than reasonable. By other cabinet people I was basically told my cabinets were beyond repair and fresh pain and for at least $10,000 and above they could do the job. The job Josh did was well below $5,000.

We interacted with the owners, Claire and Dave. They always returned our calls and even if they did not have an answer to our question, they will find out and return our call. We had a very positive experience with them. Their team was punctual, professional, considerate, hardworking, efficient. and went above and beyond to clean everything up afterwards. We had our kitchen cabinets refaced (which cost only a fraction of replacing all of them) and we are very happy with the results AND the experience we had with Refinish First. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who is considering refinishing/refacing their cabinets instead of getting all new ones.

the finished work looks great and even better than I had anticipated! David and crew made some great suggestions, after assessing our space, making our kitchen area look even better. The entire team was always on time, courteous and professional. Even though they returned the following morning, they were always great about cleaning up each night Even from the start of the process, Claire provided us with the most thorough estimate (compared to two other companies) so we clearly understood what our costs were. I am absolutely pleased with the great results! I would definitely recommend them wholeheartedly!

I am 100% happy with our decision to go with Refinish First. They were very clear though every bit of the preparation and planning process to help us make decisions about the project. Claire and Andi made the steps of the process crystal clear, and then the crew did exactly what they said they would do. They arrived on time, explained the process, and worked professionally. They were courteous and followed through with every detail, down to meticulous cleanup and replacing hardware. I couldn't ask for a more streamlined and complete task, and the kitchen looks fantastic!

We are very pleased with the process and the results. It exceeded expectations. The crew of Luis, Krista and Jonathan worked hard and made our cabinets look new again. They cleaned, sanded, stained and coated with polyurethane. They checked their work as they went along and made sure everything was right. At the end they cleaned all the shelves, put on fresh little bumpers, adjusted all the doors and oiled the drawer slides. No more nicks or water stains, and the cabinets match the other existing cabinets just as we wanted.

We were thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and quality of work done by Refinish First. We opted to have our builder basic cabinets painted and refaced, which also gave us the opportunity to customize our layout w/ additional drawers, soft close hardware & new cabinet pulls. From the bid to the completion of the project, Claire, David & the onsite crew were a pleasure to work with. They showed up each day on time, made sure to completely cover our floors and create a zipper room to keep the construction confined as much as possible. The end result speaks for itself. Our builder basic kitchen was transformed into a custom kitchen at half the cost of getting new cabinetry. We had a lot of other contractors in and out of our house during our project and Refinish First put them all to shame with their extreme attention to detail, punctuality and professionalism. We can't recommend them enough!

Refinish First does BEAUTIFUL work! They had done our kitchen cabinets several years ago. We hired them again for painting a built-in media center and a built-in desk/file wall. The results were stunning....made both walls look much higher quality than the underlying cabinetry deserved! David and Claire are both wonderful to work with. This company, while not inexpensive, does A+ work hard to find. Very professional.

We scheduled an appointment for a Tuesday evening. We were pleased that she was available to visit later in the day as scheduling with contractors around work hours can be troublesome. Some miscommunication resulted in her having the appointment time wrong but we were still available so no one was inconvenienced. The walk-through went smoothly and she seemed eager to provide us with a bid. She mentioned that it would take four business days to prepare the bid and we asked if it could be done in three so that we could compare with other bids we were receiving. She said she would try. That was a week ago. We have not received any further communication from them - no bid, no phone calls, no e-mail, complete silence.

I can not disagree with what she said. I did arrive early for our appointment. I did tell her I would try to get a bid to her by Friday (meeting was on Tuesday) but I would not guarantee it. They were trying to beat a time line from another vendor that was offering a deep discount if they signed up in a week (that Friday). We don't work like that. We offer reasonable detailed bids and quality work. When someone is just trying to get the lowest price and does not care about anything else- that is a concern to us. I should have just declined the bid then and there when I saw the condition of the home. I apologize for not communicating with you that we were going to pass on the job. I understand that can be frustrating and is out of the norm for us. Sorry we were not able to accommodate you and wish you the best of luck on your project.

Everything went very smoothly from getting the estimate, to scheduling, to completion of the project. We thought it would take 2-3 days for the work to get done, but with 3-5 guys working on the two bathrooms, everything was completed in one day. We were very pleased with how the workers protected our carpets and surrounding areas, as well as their thorough cleaning up after the job. The workers were pleasant, respectful, and professional.

The cabinet fronts were cleaned and stained their original color. All hinges were replaced, and handles added. In addition, a kitchen window frame and a door frame were sanded and refinished. The job was done well: the kitchen now looks great! Claire and David were easy to work with, and Luis and his crew did excellent work. Everyone went out of their way to please us, the customer, including chasing down the correct hardware for the job.
