A Manhattan Couple Gets a Kitchen Transformation with Cabinet Refinishing

October 10, 2024

Wade and Patti Wallburg had been discussing changes to their kitchen for several months. The cabinets were in great shape, giving them all the functionality they could ask for. The couple's only issue was the dark brown color, which they had throughout their home. They wanted something lighter for the kitchen, with a more modern vibe.

Several of their friends mentioned Cabinet Reface Direct. One friend said he'd had his cabinets refinished and he couldn't be more pleased with the results.


Wade did a Google search and found Cabinet Reface Direct Manhattan in the top results. He spent a few minutes browsing the website, where he saw photographs of previous jobs the company had done. He also looked at a couple of blogs and customer testimonials. It was all enough to convince him Cabinet Reface Direct was the answer.

Wade called Cabinet Reface Direct and spoke to a representative, explaining what he wanted. The representative assured him they could help and scheduled a convenient appointment for a free in-home assessment and quote with a CRD designer named John.

John arrived the next day, met with the couple, and walked through the kitchen to examine the cabinets. The couple told him what they wanted, and John made some color suggestions. He also suggested adding new hardware that would tie it all together. They decided white with a blue trim would be ideal for their aesthetic.


John gave the couple a quote and a two-day timeline to complete the job. He scheduled a day to start the job and returned for that appointment. He brought another CRD designer to help expedite the process.

The first day was spent prepping the surfaces for the refinish. The two designers worked to painstakingly ensure that the surfaces were pristine and ready for the transformation. It was time-consuming but necessary to provide the ideal foundation for the rest of the work.

On day two, with the surfaces ready for the new finish, John and his co-worker started methodically working around the kitchen, applying the new finish and trim to the cabinets.


At the end of the day, after cleaning up, they invited Wade and Patti to view the results. They were highly pleased with the results and couldn't believe the difference it made in the kitchen's overall mood. They thanked them for the beautiful work they did on their cabinets and said they would recommend Cabinet Reface Direct to their family and friends.
