AfterThe Oak Cabinet Problem
Millions of homes built in the 1990s and 2000s feature honey oak cabinets. While they were popular then, they now feel dated and can make your entire kitchen look old.
Honey oak's orange-yellow tones clash with modern gray and white color schemes.
Oak's prominent grain creates a busy look that feels dated in today's cleaner aesthetic.

Oak Cabinet Refinishing FAQs
Yes! Our professional grain filling process ensures a completely smooth finish. We use specialized grain filler and multiple sanding steps to eliminate the oak grain texture before painting, giving you a factory-smooth finish.
Oak cabinet refinishing typically costs $4,500-$9,000 for an average Indianapolis kitchen, including grain filling. This is 20-25% more than standard cabinets due to the extra grain filling work, but still 80% less than replacement.
Oak cabinets take 5-7 days due to the additional grain filling steps. We apply grain filler, let it cure, sand smooth, then repeat before primer and paint coats.
White and light gray are most popular as they provide the biggest transformation from honey oak. Navy blue, sage green, and charcoal are also excellent choices that completely modernize oak cabinets.
