Pegasus Refinishing
Cabinet refinishing and refacing for Santa Clara kitchens whose boxes are sound but whose doors look dated.
Acerca de
Santa Clara is full of kitchens built in the 1960s and 1970s whose cabinet boxes are still solid while the doors look tired, and that gap between sound structure and dated finish is the market Pegasus Refinishing works in. The business, connected in public records to Jose Cahue, is listed at 2002 Martin Avenue in Santa Clara; more recent directory entries give a Lafayette Street address in the same city instead, so confirm the current location by phone before you drive over with door samples. This listing was compiled from public business records and has not yet been confirmed by the owner.
Cabinet refinishing and refacing, in general terms
Although the directory files Pegasus under general contracting, the listings that describe it speak of cabinet work: refinishing, refacing, staining and painting. A business of this kind usually offers three levels of service. Refinishing keeps the existing doors and boxes, cleans and sands them, and applies new stain, lacquer or paint. Refacing covers the boxes in new veneer and swaps in new doors and drawer fronts. Around both sit smaller jobs such as new hinges and pulls, soft-close hardware, and touch-up of water-damaged sink bases.
Structural remodeling, moving walls or plumbing, is normally someone else's trade, and a refinisher should say so when a kitchen needs more than new surfaces.
Planning the job
Ask whether doors are finished in a shop or sprayed on site, how long the kitchen will be out of use, and how the crew protects counters, floors and appliances from dust and overspray. Request a sample door in the colour you choose. In California, home improvement work above a small dollar threshold requires a contractor's licence from the CSLB, and the down payment on such a contract is capped by law, so look up the licence number and check the payment schedule before signing.
Where the work goes
From Santa Clara, crews of this type commonly serve San Jose, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Campbell, Milpitas, Mountain View and Los Gatos, covering most of the Santa Clara County valley floor.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioWhat is the difference between refinishing and refacing cabinets?
Refinishing keeps your existing doors and boxes and gives them a new stain, clear coat or paint. Refacing covers the boxes with new veneer and replaces the doors and drawer fronts. Refacing changes the style more but usually costs more and takes longer.
How long will my kitchen be out of use?
It depends on whether doors are finished off site and how many coats the finish needs. Many refinishing jobs take several days to a couple of weeks. Ask for a day-by-day schedule and which parts of the kitchen stay usable during the work.
Does cabinet refinishing need a contractor's licence in California?
Home improvement work in California above a small total amount requires a contractor's licence from the Contractors State License Board. Look up any contractor's licence number at cslb.ca.gov before signing, and check that the licence class fits the work.
Can water-damaged cabinets be refinished?
Surface damage and minor swelling can often be sanded, filled and refinished. Particleboard that has swollen badly under a sink usually needs the panel replaced. Ask the refinisher to look at damaged areas and quote any repair separately.
