Refinishing Furniture and Cabinets – Franklin, TN

Stonebraker Paints completed a cabinet and furniture refinishing project in Franklin that required detailed preparation, professional containment, and precision finishing.

On this project, we refinished a built-in dresser, kitchen cabinets, and a built-in bookcase, delivering a smooth, durable finish while keeping the home clean and protected throughout the process.

We began by building a full containment system to prevent dust and paint fumes from traveling throughout the home during sanding and spraying. The containment extended floor to ceiling, creating a sealed work area that allowed us to work efficiently while protecting the rest of the home.

Once containment was in place, we set up ventilation using a fan, air duct, and filter system. This helped regulate airflow, control dust and overspray, and promote even drying of the coatings.

Next came the detailed preparation work. All cabinet doors were removed, and the wood grain was filled to achieve a smooth, furniture-grade finish. After the filler cured, all surfaces were carefully sanded to create the proper profile for primer adhesion.

To keep the workspace organized and allow doors to dry properly, we used a professional cabinet door drying rack, which freed up space and helped ensure consistent results across all doors.

For priming, we applied a shellac-based primer, an excellent choice for wood cabinets because it provides superior adhesion and prevents wood grain and tannin bleed-through. Once the primer dried, we performed a light sanding to prepare the surfaces for the final coat.

The finish coat was sprayed using Sherwin-Williams Gallery Series - paint color Hazel, resulting in a smooth, durable, and refined finish across all cabinetry and built-in furniture.

This Franklin, Tennessee project showcases Stonebraker Paints’ commitment to detailed preparation, clean job sites, and high-quality cabinet and furniture refinishing results built to last.
