Why Third Coat

A two-person team. Eleven years of practice. One obsession with finish quality.

Third Coat is Darwin Medina and one trusted helper. We don't subcontract, we don't bid jobs we can't personally finish, and we don't take shortcuts. After eleven years in the trade, what we love is the moment a homeowner sees their refinished kitchen for the first time. That's why we do this.

Spray application only

Brush and roller marks don't belong on cabinets. Every coat is sprayed with HVLP turbines or air-assisted equipment for a factory-grade finish.

Heavy-duty degreasing on every project

Most cabinet refinishing failures start with skipped degreasing. We use Krud Kutter on every door, drawer, and panel before sanding — no exceptions.

European-grade finishes

Milesi and ILVA are the same finish lines you'll find on premium European kitchen brands. Built to handle real kitchen wear without yellowing or chipping.

Workmanship guarantee

Every refinishing project comes with our workmanship guarantee. If something we did doesn't hold up the way it should, we come back and make it right.

Our Process

Seven steps. Five days. Documented at every stage.

The difference between cabinets that look new for ten months and cabinets that look new for ten years lives in the prep. Here's exactly how we work.

Step 01

Degrease

Heavy-duty degreasing with Krud Kutter on every door, drawer, and panel. We don't skip this step. Most refinishing failures start here.

Step 02

Sand & scuff

Mechanical sanding with SurfPrep to create a tooth for primer adhesion. Edges, profiles, and recessed panels included.

Step 03

Repair & fill

Bondo and grain fillers for chips, dents, and wood texture. We level the surface to match new-cabinet smoothness.

Step 04

Prime

Chemcraft, BIN, or Kilz Cover Stain depending on substrate. Full coverage on every face, every edge, every cut.

Step 05

Color application

Sprayed finish only. We use Milesi, ILVA, Chemcraft, Benjamin Moore Advance Command, or Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane.

Step 06

Topcoat & seal

When the project requires it, a sealing topcoat for durability and sheen control. Cure time respected before reinstall.

Step 07

Reinstall

Hardware reinstalled with care. Soft-close hinges installed if you want the upgrade — included on every refinishing project.

Final walkthrough

Walk it together.

We walk every cabinet with you before we leave. Anything that doesn't look right gets fixed on the spot. No punch lists, no follow-up trips.

Included on every cabinet refinishing project: soft-close hinges, full hardware reinstall, on-site cleanup, and a written workmanship guarantee. No upcharges for color changes — dark to white costs the same as a slight tone shift.

Frequently Asked

Common questions, answered straight.

Five business days for an average kitchen of 25-40 cabinet doors. We start Monday morning and walk through with you on Friday afternoon. Larger projects (kitchens with island, butler's pantry, or 50+ doors) may run six to seven days — we'll tell you exactly during the consultation.

No. The kitchen is accessible most of the project — we typically remove doors and drawer fronts to our shop and only do on-site work for the boxes, frames, and final reinstall. There will be one to two days of dust and odor control during the spraying phase, but most homeowners stay in the house without disruption.

Yes. We refinish dark stained cabinets to white, white to charcoal, oak to gray — any direction you want. The price is the same regardless of color change difficulty: $100 per door, $75 per drawer front, $75 per side panel, $1,900 project minimum.

Degreasing, sanding, repairs, primer, two coats of sprayed color, topcoat when required, hardware reinstall, soft-close hinges if you want the upgrade, on-site cleanup, and a written workmanship guarantee. Hardware replacement, glaze finishes, distressing, interior cabinet painting, and crown molding are quoted separately as add-ons.

50% deposit at the start of the project, 50% balance on completion. We accept Zelle and personal checks. No financing through our company — if you need financing, your bank or HELOC works fine for us.

Every cabinet refinishing project comes with our written workmanship guarantee. If anything we did — adhesion, finish quality, hardware install — fails before normal wear would expect, we come back and fix it. Included in the price, no separate paperwork to sign.
