Mark did a wonderful job refinishing my oak cabinets. They went from a outdated oak to beautiful off white with chocolate glaze. I highly recommend Cabinetrix. It's a great alternative than getting new cabinets. Check out Cabinetrix on Facebook to see more of Mark's work.

The first step is to choose the paint color of your "new" cabinets with Mark using the multi-step process. We had four color samples made and then chose the one we liked the best. Next, the cabinet doors were removed, as well as all the old hinges and door handles. Mark removed the doors (and drawers) to his work shop, painted the doors, and then let them cure. In the meantime, we chose our new cabinet handles, ordered them, and began to decide what kind of glass we wanted to replace the 20+-year-old beveled glass in four cabinet doors. Mark carefully labeled each cabinet door and drawer so, upon his return, he could replace them exactly where they belonged. Because the paint must continue to cure for a total of a month, it's essential that the homeowner take care when opening and closing cabinets and cleaning. No heavy rubbing allowed. Once the paint cures, you're ready to go full speed ahead. In our case, it was clear that we needed some new hinges for a handful of the doors. Mark ordered those and then removed the doors in question. He returned, reinstalled those doors, making sure that none of them brushed against another, making possible scratches a possibility. The last step was to touch up a few minor dings. With that completed, we had a "new" kitchen that we absolutely love.
Mark was patient, talented, and willing to do whatever it took to satisfy us. Whenever we had a question, he was available to answer it. We couldn't have worked with a nicer, more accomplished man whom we recommend highly.
Mark also paints wood cabinets and cabinets of other materials. He can change colors, design, and finish. Check out the company web site at http://cabinetrix.com/ for examples of his work and the full range of possibilities.
BTW, his price was more than fair. Replacing the cabinets would have been cost prohibitive, and replacing the doors only would have cost at least twice as much.

Mark is absolutely amazing! I am a Real Estate agent and my home value has easily increased by $15,000 just with my new updated kitchen. I had tired, 20 year old oak cabinets that I have hated for over 10 years. I had 3 contractors quote the project and provide a sample. Marks sample was extraordinary. You would NEVER know my cabinets were oak. He does not just paint the cabinets, he takes all the doors and drawers to his shop and he goes thru a very extensive, several step process to prepare them. They are totally smooth without any typical oak graining. He installed hidden hinges and then painted the entire kitchen and ceiling. I had granite counters and a glass tile backsplash added and my kitchen looks like a completely new remodel. Mark's work is fantastic and he is a man of integrity. If he tells you he will be there, he will be there or will phone you and let you know his schedule. I have already recommended him to 3 clients and will continue to. LOVE my new kitchen!!

Mark worked wonders on my cabinets transforming them from the 80s look to a modern contemporary color for a fraction of the cost of replacing them. He suggested replacing the outside hinges with inside hinges. I was hesitant to spend the extra money but so glad I did. It really made a huge difference in the look, just as he said it would. He is reliable, showing up exactly at the time he said he would arrive. The job was completed in the estimated timeframe and Mark was very neat and considerate. I highly recommend his work.

Professional true craftsmanship knowledgeable on time neat
I was interested in updating the look of my cabinets without buying new ones or getting them refaced. I decided to go with refinishing and contacted Mark. He came out within a couple of days of my phone call. He was very knowledgable and advised me that I could either restain them or paint them. He showed me actual samples of both painting and restaining and also provided before and after pictures of cabinets in kitchens he had recently completed. Before he began the work on my cabinets, he helped me chose a stain and a paint color so that I could actually see how both would look in my kitchen before I made my final decision. I decided to go with painting and am extremely pleased with the results. My kitchen looks fresh and updated. I highly recommend Mark's work

We were looking to have our cherry cabinets painted white and after interviewing 3 different companies it was hands down Mark at Cabinetrix... Mark the owner is a true professional. He talked through the project and he did the work himself. He finished the project when promised and the cabinets look like they were installed brand new! I would highly recommend!

Mark did a wonderful job, very experienced and knew what he was doing. My cabinets look brand new for a fraction of the cost to replace. At his suggestion, as part of his bid, we also installed new hinges to update the look. Mark was also very patient in trying to get a color match for what I wanted and had to do a couple of samples. Very clean with only a few minor dust ups for me. I would highly recommend.
