Targeted Wood Veneer Repair and Surface Restoration

Repairing the wood surface - whether it's solid wood, veneer, or laminate - requires a delicate touch and the proper required tools. That's why we use specialized techniques to restore the surface's structural integrity before moving on to the finishing touches.

1. Filling Scratches and Dents: For deeper scratches and minor dents, we use a specialized wood filler or putty to fill the void. For finer scratches or nail holes, we might use a fill stick (putty stick) that matches the wood stain or paint colour. We apply the putty with a putty knife, and then scrape away the excess with a fine-toothed scraper.

2. Wood Veneer Repair: When dealing with a peeled or chipped veneer, we use a special adhesive to secure it back in place. For missing sections, we carefully fill the exposed raw wood with a compatible wood filler before moving on to the finishing steps.

3. Sanding and Smoothing: Once the wood filler or putty is dry, we carefully sand the filled surface with fine-grit sandpaper until it's smooth and flush with the surrounding cabinet surface. This is the bit that makes the repair truly invisible - getting all the surfaces smooth and even.

Flawless Spot Repair and Touch-Up Paint Cabinet Work

The final stage is where the magic happens

Getting the touch-up paint or stain just right, especially when installing new cabinets. This is where our technicians' skill and attention to detail really shine, as they work to achieve a seamless repair that blends in with the rest of the cabinets by applying several light coats of paint.

• Painted Cabinets Touch Up: For painted cabinets, we start by applying primer to the bare wood area after filling and sanding. Then we apply the touch-up paint using a fine-tipped artist's brush or a specialized paint marker for excellent scratches. We work in thin coats, letting each one dry completely before applying the next, until we get the colour and depth just right.

• Stained Cabinets Touch Up: For stained cabinets, our technicians use a fine brush or cotton swab to apply stain to the filled raw wood areas. We choose a stain that matches the existing colour as closely as possible, then seal the area with a clear finish (like polyurethane) to protect the wood and match the sheen of the cabinet surface restoration.

• Fill Stick Method: For shallow scratches on stained cabinets, we can often use a fill stick (putty stick) to rub the colour and wax into the scratch, then wipe away the excess for a quick, easy touch-up. This is a great way to make those scratches all but disappear.

We take extra care to match the paint colour and sheen precisely, often obtaining the exact paint from a local store or from leftover paint you may have lying around.

The Benefits of Choosing Our Minor Cabinet Damage Repair Service

Our focus is on delivering a high-quality repair that's both inexpensive and cost-effective and time-efficient. We don't believe in ripping out the entire cabinet or spending a whole day sanding down surfaces that are perfectly fine. Instead, we focus on localized repairs that get the job done quickly and affordably.

1. Localized Solutions: Unlike refinishing an entire cabinet, which requires removing all doors and drawers and sanding the whole surface, our repairs are limited to the damaged area. That means most jobs can be completed in hours, not days, so you can get back to using your kitchen space sooner.

2. Cost-Effective: Focusing on a spot repair is a cost-effective way to maintain your investment in your cabinets. You save money on materials and labour compared to choosing to refinish the whole cabinet. It's the smart way to keep your kitchen looking its best for years to come.

3. Hardware Scratches: We often fix scratches and small chips around knobs and pulls where the hardware attaches to the doors and drawers. We use a putty stick to fill the area in and then touch up the finish. This restores the clean look around the hardware. We can also fix small cracks.
