We hired Refinish First after talking with several companies that claim they refurbish beautiful wood cabinets, but David was the only one who understood my desire to preserve and restore the beautiful wood. David is not just a very talented craftsman but a true artist. His attention to detail and his dedication to make every surface perfect was a joy to see. I cannot give a better review to him, other than to say that if you are considering cabinet restoration, or refinishing, I am confident that you will be extremely happy with David's work. read more

We selected Refinish First for updating our old oak kitchen cabinets and are very happy with the results. David was excellent in discussing what would be done and recommended a source for the new cabinet hardware, and also gave us great advise on what order to do our remodeling, which included wall refinishing, countertop replacement and flooring. David did a great job in refinishing the cabinets, and always checked with us as various issues or choices came up. The cabinets as refinished look great, and David replaced all shelves and cabinet hardware. David and Claire worked together on the last day to finish and clean up. Besides doing great work, they are great people. We couldn't be happier with the work they did. read more

Not looking to spend six figures on a kitchen remodel, we found Refinish First as an option. They had the best reviews, so we anticipated good results and were so happy David and Claire did great work and on schedule. Our 1986 solid oak cabinets were right in their wheelhouse. They did a great job refinishing the cabinet doors and installing soft close hinges. David also built new cabinet space to match our existing cabinets and added several pull out drawers. We highly recommend them and would call them again. read more

We had tired of the bland cherry cabinets in our kitchen but liked the layout. We hired Refinish First to paint the cabinets and install new pulls and soft close hinges. We had already installed new counters and backsplash and ordered all new appliances. The project went exactly as promised and scheduled. The protective walls of plastic, full covering of hardwood floors and other surfaces along with the zippered doorways meant the rest of our open plan house was fully secured from dust and overspray. David is exceptionally skilled at providing a perfectly smooth finish and also quickly responded with any concerns I raised about detail touch-up. I am admittedly hard to please but couldn't be happier with the result. read more

Refinish First redid our old school oak cabinets, maintaining the natural wood as we requested and updating the hardware. Their employees did the prep work and installed a revolving shelf of RF's choosing, to facilitate access to under counter storage. The employees learned on the job as they had never encountered this revolving shelf before. We were very happy with the appearance of the cabinets. However the revolving shelf failed less than 2 years after installation, with many ramifications and problems. Despite many attempts to reach out to them, they did not even visit to see the problems. After hours and hours of consultations, the shelf manufacturer sent a new unit and we were left to locate and hire another installer. The brand is not well supported in the NW - a problem all by itself - and we are now into 2 failed costly fixes and the same issue - a shelf and cabinet that are unuseable, no support or solutions and a major barrier to a future home sale. We appreciate how wonderful RF's wood work is but could not recommend based on failure to provide after job support despite advertising they do so. read more

I have to say...they were great from the start to the finish of the job. We have had a few constractors out recent during our remodel and Refinish First was the most personable and professional of all of them. This is how business should be done! Thank you! read more

They made it easy to decide whether to replace or refinish. I'm not into discarded materials going into landfill, especially when it costs more than recycling/refinishing our existing wood. Pleasure to work with and a great job. read more

David and Claire just finished remaking our world with a complete remodel of our aging kitchen. After 30 years we finally summoned the courage to change the dark, aging kitchen that we've wanted to fix for a long time. Claire helped us work though the options, make a list of choices, and organize a plan. Once we were all agreed David moved in. He's the guy who cuts, paints, installs, and makes the kitchen beautiful. The crew was incredibly considerate in the way they sealed the room and respected our home as they changed the kitchen It took a few weeks, of course, but we emerged from the chaos into a whole new world. I was impressed by the whole process, but the final stage was the most impressive of all. After our kitchen was beautiful the team assembled to scrub and clean every inch. When it was time to move back in the entire room was perfect. Today I was finally able to move into my new kitchen and cook up a storm for the first time. Tomorrow the entire family will be here, and I can hardly wait. Cooking in my new kitchen is a dream come true, and I could not be any happier with our choice to have Refinish First renovate our kitchen. read more

We had Dave and Claire from Refinish First assist us in refinishing cabinets and storage closet in two of our three bathrooms. They helped ordering new doors and matching color for both. Dave is one of the hardest workers we have ever met and an incredible craftsman. Our 1978 cabinets are so beautiful now. We are so happy with the results. I have never been so happy to go to the bathroom now. We will definitely have Refinish First back in the near future to do our master bath. read more

It's been over a year since I worked with this company and I'm embarrassed it took me this long to post review. They were excellent in so many ways I find it hard to articulate. Right off the bat I appreciated how they addressed me directly when visiting for quote. Other businesses mainly address my partner, even though I made all the arrangements and was asking all the questions. Very prompt communication, professional staff, clean, kind, pleasant. A couple of issues came up and they were addressed promptly and corrected swiftly. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone!!! read more

We had Refinish First refinish the cherry cabinets in 2 bathrooms and our kitchen. They were great to work with and our 20 year old cabinets look new! So cost effective and spectacular results! read more

Claire and David were easy to work with and very flexible with our time frames that changed on our project. They were thorough and receptive to any feedback I had for touchups. The free payment options (e.g. Credit Card) was a plus as most places charge 3% for card payments. I was particularly impressed with how quickly they cruised through our project. They under promised at 2-3 weeks for their bid time frame and over delivered by finishing in a week, which is all you could ever ask. A+ in all respects. Our kitchen and bathrooms look dramatically improved thanks to their diligent work. read more

Refinish first painted our knotty oak cabinets white and we couldn't be happier with the process and results!!! They were very thorough and pleasant to work with and made sure to get our needs met. I'd say they went above and beyond our expectations. They have many reviews on their website as well as provided phone numbers that I called before we decided to go with them and I'm so glad we did! I recommend them to everyone! read more

While it might sound strange, Refinish First worked a miracle. A few years ago, my husband and I had to fix up my mother's house, which had significant pet damage on the floors, walls, cupboards, and doors. The situation appeared hopeless. However, Refinish First provided a reasonable quote to redo all of the woodwork in the house. Within a week, they striped, sanded, and refinished the cabinets in the kitchen, and three bathrooms, along with windows sills and doors throughout the house. Everything looked like NEW. Not only did they exceed our expectations, but their work was impeccable and their willingness to tackle a less-than-pleasant job commendable! read more

I was impressed with Refinish First from our first in home consultation. They did exactly what we wanted and went above and beyond with protecting my home and with the clean up afterward. I also really liked having their crew in my home. Nice and respectful. My only regret is that our budget only allowed for us to have them do our Island and I wish they could have done our whole kitchen. Highly recommend. read more
