A full kitchen remodel can swallow time, money, and sanity. Yet outdated, scratched, or yellowed cabinets still nag at every meal. Reglazing—sometimes called refinishing or resurfacing—lets homeowners achieve a “like-new” look for a fraction of replacement cost. At CountBricks, we combine AI-driven estimating, real-time material pricing, and voice-activated job scoping to make the reglaze kitchen cabinets process faster, clearer, and more profitable for everyone involved.
• Up to 70 % lower cost than new cabinetry
• Zero demolition mess and minimal downtime—most kitchens back in service within days
• Keeps perfectly sound carcasses out of landfills
• Endless color and sheen options to match modern design trends
• CountBricks AI instantly shows savings compared with tear-out scenarios
CountBricks’ blueprint upload or on-site voice capture records every cabinet face, stile, and drawer in minutes. Our software calculates square footage and edge detail so you know exactly how much primer, finish, and labor time will be required.
1. Remove doors and hardware for workshop spraying or on-site tenting
2. Degrease with cabinet-safe cleaners
3. Fill dings, sand, and vacuum dust
CountBricks task templates itemize each prep step, ensuring nothing is missed in the quote.
A bonding primer locks onto existing finishes and prevents tannin bleed-through. Our material database lists low-VOC options and current pricing per gallon so you can spec confidently.
• Two to three coats of professional-grade polyurethane or conversion varnish
• Spray, roll, or brush application depending on site conditions
• Color-matching supported by digital fan-deck input in CountBricks
Hardware reinstalled, doors leveled, and final touch-ups documented through the CountBricks mobile inspection checklist. Generate a branded completion report in seconds.
• Cabinet door style: Shaker panels consume more labor than flat fronts
• Existing finish: Heavy varnish requires extra sanding passes
• Color shift: Going light over dark often needs additional primer coats
• Kitchen access: Tight condos increase masking and protection time
When you enter these variables, CountBricks’ AI adjusts labor hours and material volumes automatically. No more spreadsheet gymnastics or surprise change orders.
Our platform connects to regional supplier APIs, delivering live costs on primers, topcoats, masking film, and abrasives. As prices fluctuate, every open estimate updates—protecting margins even on long sales cycles.
• Voice-to-Estimate: Speak the cabinet count and condition while on-site; receive a detailed line-item quote before leaving the driveway
• One-click invoices: Convert approved estimates to payment-ready invoices branded with your logo and CountBricks credibility
• Crew task lists: Field techs view daily prep, spray, and reassembly tasks via mobile, synced directly from the estimate
• Under-ventilated spray tents leading to dust nibs—CountBricks checklists remind crews to confirm air mover placement
• Skipping adhesion tests on factory laminate—our scope builder flags laminate surfaces and adds a bond primer line item
• Reinstalling doors before cure time—task timelines include manufacturer-recommended dry intervals
Reglazing conserves raw lumber, adhesives, and transportation emissions tied to new cabinetry. Specify water-borne finishes and capture overspray to further reduce environmental impact. CountBricks reports quantify carbon savings so you can share green metrics with clients.
• Structural water damage or mold compromising cabinet boxes
• Layout changes requiring new footprints
• Homeowners seeking custom storage upgrades like pull-out pantries
CountBricks makes side-by-side estimates easy—generate a reglaze quote and a full replacement quote from the same project file, empowering clients with transparent choices.
