Current Refinishing : SW 7511 Bungalow Beige

Current project involved Timbermate Grainfill

on aged butcher block oak cabinetry that had

been vandalized by a foreclosure situation.

We assured the client we could make em'

Look like NEW with a little elbow grease

and some high end AcromaPro lacquer.

Note that a grain filler is used to prevent

open pore reveals, but you may still

see grain, which is the nature of oak, there

is NO such thing as 100% filled grain, if you

try to put too much filler on, your doors

will mudcrack as the wood moves in

spring and fall with moisture changes in

humidity. For optimum conditions in your

home we recommend 35-40% r.h. so that

ALL wood surfaces in your home do NOT

dry out. We never exceed a maximum

dry film thickness of 9 mils which is the

upper limit for most wood coatings in

a shop application.

Colour: SW 7511

Woodcraft and Rockler...the best woodworking stores we've seen

Had a client ask me what the best woodworking
stores are in North America...hands down Woodcraft
and Rockler are a country mile better than
Lee Valley. LV is overpriced, has a Consumers
Distributing business model and doesn't
carry state of the art woodworking tools
like Woodcraft and Rockler do.

I come from a lineage of woodworking
relatives with both my grandfathers
and an uncle being cabinet makers, so
as part of keeping the tradition I like to
pass on some tips for fellow woodworkers.

It's worth the drive to Buffalo
and Rochester....lol !

So it's 5-10 years after finishing...Refresh and Update Programs...!!!

As many of our clients are aware we offer
an unrivaled warranty on our refinishing,
but even better we have now announced
3 programs where you can either:

1. Get all cabinetry re-sprayed and repaired
    5 years after the original application for $449.00.

2. Change colour and get them resprayed
    for $649.00

3. Hardware Swap Out for New from as little
   as $250.00 !

We know people can be tough on their
cabinetry...we've seen kids with nerf
hockey nets set up in the kitchen
and of course the odd situation where
a property changes hands and the cabinetry
has been allowed to get dirty...

***These three programs are only available to existing
ColorScapes clients who are 60 months past the
original application. The tough sanding work
has already been completed and paid for.!

We know we've raised the bar on refinishing in
the Halton Region, this program goes one
step further to keep your home's cabinetry
looking great in advance of that pending staging
or chance to sell for a great profit !

Homes in Burlington and Oakville are receiving multiple
bid offers and the key to moving that property fast is
making sure the painting work is done, the cabinetry
looks great and everything is tidy !

Stay away from trendy stenciled or floraled antiquing
or glazing, it's a dated look and will cost you in resale
dollars.
