Why Refinish Your Cabinets (Especially in Reading)

Refinishing your kitchen cabinets is a smart, cost-effective way to refresh the heart of your home without full replacement.
In Fiscus / Reading neighborhoods where homes often have beautiful woodwork and character, cabinet refinishing preserve’s structure while delivering modern style and durability.

With WORKS by JD, you get:

  • Heavy wood cabinetry and limited natural light
  • A boxed-in layout that isolated the cooking area
  •  Outdated finishes and inefficient storage
  • Narrow walkways that interrupted flow
//WORKFLOW

Our Cabinet Refinishing Process (Reading Edition)

  1. On-Site Evaluation & Color Consult — We bring sample finishes and test wood in your actual kitchen lighting.
  2. Removal & Safe Storage — Doors, drawers, and hardware are carefully removed, labeled, and stored.
  3. Repair & Surface Prep — Fill cracks, sand surfaces, stabilize veneers, and address any prior damage.
  4. Priming & Sealing — Use stain-blocking primers matched to the wood species.
  5. Custom Finish Application — Apply multiple coats with hand-sanding between layers for smooth, rich depth.
  6. Reassembly & Final Touches — Reinstall hardware, adjust doors, and perform a quality inspection.

What Our Clients Say

Everyone I worked with on the team was terrific. Communication was excellent, prompt and timely, giving us nudges as needed to keep the project moving. They accommodated with schedule changes and changes to the project. We were able to keep track of daily progress in the Works by JD Portal while we were away. We would use them again and certainly recommend them. Our kitchen is beautiful, everyone loves the transformation. We are very happy with the end results!
