The refinishing schedule
Every piece moves through the same careful ten-step process. Typical timeline: 4–6 weeks.
1Intake & assessment
1–2 days
We take a close look, photograph, inspect, identify damage and discuss your vision. We create the best approach for your piece.
2Disassembly
1 day
Remove hardware, doors, drawers and label all components for safe reassembly.
3Strip the existing finish
2–5 days
Chemical and/or mechanical stripping to remove old finishes. Clean thoroughly to remove all residue.
4Drying & stabilization
1–3+ days
Allow the wood to dry and stabilize. This helps identify any hidden damage that needs attention.
5Repairs & preparation
2–3+ days
Repair veneer, fill damage, glue loose joints and sand progressively. Detail edges and profiles for a smooth, flawless surface.
6Colour development
Up to 5 business days
When custom matching is required: create stain/colour samples, fine tune with toners or dyes, and get client approval where applicable.
7Sealing / priming
1–2 days
Apply the appropriate primer/sealer system with a professional spray gun, allow to dry/cure, and light sand between coats as needed.
8Professional finish application
1–3 days
Multiple controlled coats with flash/dry time between applications, inspected between coats for consistent, high-quality results.
9Cure time
Several days
The finish may feel dry before it's fully cured. This time allows for maximum hardness, durability and beauty.
10Reassembly & quality control
1–2 days
Reinstall hardware, adjust doors and drawers, inspect the finish, and do a final clean and photography.
Typical timeline: 4–6 weeks
Preserve the quality. Elevate the design. Extend its value.
Why can timelines change?
Refinishing is a restoration process, not an assembly line. Once the existing finish is removed, previously hidden damage, repairs, contamination, veneer issues or prior coatings may be discovered. Temperature, humidity, custom colour development and manufacturer-required drying, recoat and cure times can also affect production.
We never rush a coating system at the expense of the finished result.
