Our shop sits at 1570 Edgewood Lane in Milford, only about 5.8 miles south of Highland. A straight run up Milford Road puts us in town in around 13 minutes, so Highland is just about our backyard and one of the closest communities we serve.
That kind of proximity is hard to beat on a kitchen project. We can come measure and quote on short notice, the crew arrives when promised without a long haul, and a return trip to adjust a door or touch something up is no trouble at all. Cabinets are something you live with daily, and having the refinisher close by makes the whole job easier. It also means no out-of-area travel charges padding your estimate.
Highland Township was settled by pioneer families in 1835 and grew up around the railroad and its mills. It’s stayed true to its roots. In 2003 the township formally declared itself an equestrian community to protect its rural, horse-friendly character, and that large-lot, country feel still defines it.
Water and open space are everywhere here. The township holds more than two dozen lakes, and the Highland State Recreation Area alone covers roughly 5,900 acres of woods, trails, and the historic Haven Hill estate. The old Highland Station area still has its Victorian-era homes, the business district sits at M-59 and Milford Road, and around 19,000 people live across the township’s rural, suburban, and lakefront neighborhoods. Huron Valley Schools serve the area.
Highland’s housing runs from lakefront homes and rural properties on acreage to newer subdivisions, and each brings a different kitchen to the table. The larger custom and country homes here tend to have generous kitchens with a lot of cabinetry, often solid wood that’s well worth refinishing rather than replacing. With that many doors, drawer fronts, and boxes, the savings of refinishing over new cabinetry are substantial, and the result keeps the warmth those homes are built around.
Many of Highland’s lake homes also began as cottages and were added onto over the years, leaving kitchens with a mix of cabinetry of different ages and finishes. Refinishing is what ties all of it together into one consistent, updated look, so the original boxes and the newer additions finally match.
Then there are the subdivision kitchens from the 1990s and 2000s, full of builder-grade oak and maple that have aged into a dated look. Painting them in a current color modernizes the room without the cost or upheaval of a remodel. However your kitchen came to be, a sprayed and properly cured finish goes on smooth and stands up to daily use, and the whole project happens without tearing the room apart or leaving you without a kitchen for weeks.
Highland is practically next door, so the kitchens we refinish here are ones we pass all the time. In a community where people know their neighbors, the quality of our work travels, and we want it to. When the result is this close to home, getting it right the first time is simply how we work.
Updating your cabinets should be exciting — not something you dread. But we know that’s not always how it plays out.
We’ve worked with hundreds of Southeast Michigan homeowners dealing with peeling finishes, uneven coats, and cabinet paint that gave out way too soon. We’ve seen firsthand what happens when prep work gets rushed or cut short, so we built our process specifically to stop those problems before they start.
You shouldn’t have to cross your fingers hoping it holds up — or foot the bill when it doesn’t.
Choosing the wrong refinisher doesn’t just mean getting a finish you’re unhappy with. It can also create real disruption to your home and unexpected costs down the road.

Highland has a strong stock of older homes, particularly in the neighborhoods near the historic downtown and along the Huron River corridor, and many still have their original cabinetry. If your home was built during the postwar era or earlier, there are a few things worth knowing before starting a cabinet refinishing project.
If your cabinets are older or you’re not sure what you’re working with, the best place to start is a free estimate. We’ll assess every surface and tell you exactly what your project needs before any work begins.
Clean, factory-smooth finishes that are properly prepped and tough enough to handle everyday use.

Fresh fronts make the biggest visual impact and transform your kitchen.
Full interior and exterior refinishing for a cohesive, fully updated look.
Chips, cracks, and worn edges are addressed before any finish goes on.
It’s not always obvious when your cabinets are ready for a refresh. Here are some of the most common signs it may be time to refinish.
Cabinet refinishing in Highland typically ranges from $5,000 to $10,000+ for most kitchens. Smaller projects, like a bathroom vanity or laundry room cabinets, can fall well below that range, while larger kitchens with extensive prep work or repairs can exceed it.
The exact cost depends on a few key factors:
The best way to know exactly what your project will cost is to request a free estimate. We’ll walk through your kitchen, assess every surface, and give you a detailed quote with no pressure and no surprises.
Hiring a cabinet refinisher is a significant investment in your home’s appearance and value. Here are the questions we hear most often from local homeowners.
Absolutely. Many homes in the Highland, MI area were built with solid wood cabinetry that has great bones but surfaces that have seen decades of wear. Rather than gutting those original cabinets — which can mean weeks of disruption and significant expense — we restore them with industrial-grade finishes that bring them back to life. In fact, older solid-wood cabinets often respond better to refinishing than newer particleboard ones, giving you a durable, beautiful result that honors the original craftsmanship of your home.
Michigan's four-season climate — with its humid summers and cold, dry winters — can be tough on standard cabinet paint. That's why we don't use typical house paint on your cabinets. We apply specialized, industrial-grade finishes that are engineered to resist moisture, temperature swings, and daily wear. Our finishes won't peel, crack, or fade the way standard paints can when exposed to the kind of climate shifts we see here in Southeastern Michigan year after year.
While we provide custom quotes based on the specific scope of each project, cabinet refinishing consistently costs a fraction of what full cabinet replacement runs. Replacement typically involves not just new cabinets, but also demo labor, disposal, new hardware, and potential countertop or backsplash adjustments — costs that add up quickly. Refinishing eliminates most of that. We encourage Highland-area homeowners to reach out for a personalized estimate so you can compare the real numbers for your kitchen or bathroom.
One of the biggest advantages of refinishing over replacement is how quickly we can get your space back to you. We remove cabinet doors and drawer fronts off-site for painting, which means your kitchen stays functional throughout most of the process. The full timeline depends on the size of your kitchen and the finish you choose, but most Highland-area homeowners are back to full use of their kitchen far sooner than they would be with a full cabinet replacement project.
You're never locked into a limited palette. We offer fully custom color matching, so whether you're going for a clean modern white, a moody navy, a warm sage, or something completely unique to your vision, we can make it happen. We also offer multiple finish options — matte, satin, and glossy — as well as decorative styles like distressed finishes for a vintage feel. Our goal is to give your Highland home cabinets that look and feel exactly the way you've envisioned them, with the durability of an industrial-grade finish underneath.
You’ve done the research, and you know your cabinets deserve more than a rushed refinishing job. Now it’s time to work with a team that gets it right the first time. Request your free estimate today and take the first step toward a kitchen you’re proud of.
